What DO you want people to find in your house when you die?
I want my freepy brother and sister to see my "Daddy's Little War Criminal" magnet, my Tom Bihn washing instruction label t-shirt, and my collection of books by Michael Moore, and Bill and Hilary Clinton.

22. I'm afraid not. I had to give the digital camera I got as a gift, back to
the giver because I was so intimidated by it! Mostly what I do is make posters for my car and I like making black and white cartoonish drawings with Sharpie pens to vent my frustrations with this mess we're in. Right now, I have a lot of sheep on the back of my car that have bands around their "waists" with dollar signs drawn on them. I think pictures work better than words. We have a closet door in the house that is serving as a gallery. On it, we hang our work. Some collage stuff. Drawings over printed photos and the like. The Parade magazine in the Sunday paper a few weeks ago, has a photo of Laura * with the caption "I hope I can help." or something like that. So....we drew a gun in her hand and we are wishing her well! It occurs to me that I could scan my sheep into my work computer and post them here. ooooooh!:think:

5. Don't know. I know what I don't want them to find...
and I'm glad I know how to encrypt and hide drive volumes...all those subversive pages I've downloaded and hundreds of bookmarked "alternative" news sites. "Sheesh, McKenzie was a subversive!".

11. Hmmm
I DEFINATELY want my kitchen and bathroom to be CLEAN. I hate when those two rooms are even a little bit dirty I feel like the whole house is trashed when they are. LOL, I know I know! But other than that I hope they find lots and lots of PICTURES so that they will all know how much I truely loved them, (my family and friends), and they can see just how much fun I had in college. LOL Pictures are great!!

I could capture every single thing that I want to remember on film but I miss that opportunity often. I love them though. THey're the greatest things in the world. My grandmother just gave me a whold box of old photos. I've been haveing a ball with those. LOL Glad you agree with me though!:)

Yeah and speaking of old projects. My grandmother actually still had this little art project thing that I made in first grade and gave to her as a Christmas Present. Its mostly just marker and foil but it was so sweet that she's kept it all these years. So I think thats an awesome idea!

23. Life's greatest mysteries...
My mom thought she'd lost a ruby ring that belonged to her great aunt. She found it in her safe deposit box at the bank when she went to get some papers out of it.

26. Stacks and stacks of mysterious and disturbing art...
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 03:09 PM by Withywindle
...just like Henry Darger.

Antique treasures.


And boxes of steamy love letters and compromising photographs from various famous hotties of the day that I was noble enough to never blackmail anyone with.

34. I keep cleaning out so nobody will find nothing
But then there's all the art. I'll just keep painting and "they" will have to figure out what the hell to do with it.

36. There is a lot of stuff that is important to me and I hope they save it
I doubt they will, like my mom's photos, my family's stuff. I suspect they will just go after the jewelry and other valuables and toss the emotional stuff. I did a will to try to get the stuff where it is supposed to go. I think I have to revise it again
