GSS...have you ever been to the Hope Cemetery in Barre, Vt.? Amazing place with unreal memorials made by various top Barre granite sculptors for themselves as they were dying of "white lung". Sorry if I already asked you this. Drove by the Rock of Ages quarries the other day.

I just re-read this thread. Interesting...

Right now, I have to make dinner for Mags and me. My little boy already ate. We're all pretty tired here so I think it's going to be an early night for us.

What if I out live you, then what, no tombstone?

No..it doesn't work that way..We would make the monument now and set it on your cemetery plot and when you pass away...we would inscribe your final death date..You might as well lock in 2008 prices..by mid-summer you could have your own tombstone..

No I haven't but a few of our suppliers are in Barre VT...but over the past few years a much higher percentage of our granite is coming from China..because most of the labor in Barre is union which makes the prices higher than overseas.

Understandable even tho we are talking about products that weigh tons. Next time your in the area you should check it out, it's only 20 min from Waterbury. Here is a sample

Nice..hopefully I'll have a business trip up there in the near future. I stay at the Comfort Inn..near 89..up the hill from Barre with the Applebees in front.

I'm currently recovering from surgery. I had a tonsillectomy, had my uvula removed, soft tissue from my palate removed, a severe deviated septum fixed and a turbonectomy. :-(



Doing a bar exam prep course...and then hanging out with the new GF.


Never mind...I thought you were taking a bartending course for shits and giggles.

I had that minus the tonsillectomy and turbonectomy (I don't even know what this is) about 5 years ago. The worst part is all the packing in the sinus'.
