Roadside memorials
Your thoughts? Of course if you read my profile or know me at all you'd know I am against them. Just think if everybody were to put one up. Gadzooks! and if this thread gets moved then I am totally lost on here. |

Okay. I read your profile. Didn't explain to me why you'd be against roadside memorials. I have no problem with them. As a widow myself, I know many people who have a cross at the site of an accident. It's there for them, not us.

They may clutter up a roadway...but they are also very sobering...
|

|
Are we waiting for the next clue or what? Is it because you're a driver?

Some, on highways are fine. I lived on a sidestreet in a family neighborhood and one was put up in front of my house while it was for sale. I wanted to take it down but I left it alone.

Are we waiting for the next clue or what? Is it because you're a driver? lol...I was posting in other threads.....yep...I drive and I can't stand seeing them....lost a family member in an accident and I don't need reminded. I am sorry for your loss. However, it must be therapeutic in some way for them. There is some reason why they wish to mark that spot, either in memory of their loved one, or as a warning to others of that location, i.e. hill, curve, etc. |

By the way, in the movies when somebody is on life support...they just lay there still.....in real life it's much different.

what is wrong with them??? they create a hazard for the mowers and they are on proberty not owned by the erector usually and they are a distraction to drivers possibly |

I am sorry for your loss. May I suggest that instead of getting sad at the memory of a lost loved one, turn it around and everytime you see a road side memorial think of the good things about your life and the good times you had with that special loved one. |

It's a matter of opinion of course. Which is why I like posting these kind of topics...instead of...what did you eat for lunch today???!!! Not that there's anything wrong with those threads either!!! I just like to stir up deeper conversations. |

Well, what DID you have for lunch?
