    Death's got a bit of a paunch.

    Why is every blog about death the last few days?

    Is this one of those new anti-smoking cigarette packs?

    Watchtower has taken a decidedly hardline approach

    I noticed the same thing as Mister Earl: Dena bloggers do death.

    Bellis, Death's gotta advertise, just like everyone else...

    And if you step on that crack it will break your mother's back.

    I think you've been hanging out with AH. Also, I do think we live in a death-denying culture, and that is probably not healthy. But I guess what doesn't kill you...

    Since it's related to writing, let's hope it's this "kitty" image:

    I draw the line right next to death.

    Better luck next time death!

    So right.Just turn on the news each day!

    The card is menacing and controlling and I don't like it!

    Where are my manners? I fell asleep early last night--signed off before signing off! (Death took a holiday.)

    This was the photo I had ready to go, and I posted it after seeing Hiker's post, not thinking about the "theme." Thanks for making it funny and refusing to allow it to be a downer! When I saw it I thought, "Zen Monday."

    To be truly Zen, embrace it.
    A Buddhist monk (I know the name, but can't spell it) was asked what would he do if he was told he had 15 minutes to live?
    His answer: "Meditate"
