When you go into the ground, what mark will you have made (or hope to have made) and on what scale?

I just hope people don't think I was an *bunghole*. Actually, *fudge* them, I don't care.

For one I don't plan on being put in the ground. I prefer to be burned, not alive, perhaps have my ashes spread over Norman, OK.
It is not advisable, James, to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener.

Cremated here too. I once thought burial at sea but I have decided against that. Don't know yet where to spread the ashes.
I'm a looser, but not a complete waste. At least that's what Clive says.

Going to go the shotgun route and have them shot out of a shotgun?

It is my hope that my life would be said to have glorified God by reflecting the characteristics of His son, Jesus Christ. Secondly, which also would have been included in the aforementioned, would be that those around me would know how much they meant to me, that they were special to me and I loved them.

i want to be the oldest man in history.
seriously, my children are my legacy. not what they will have or do, but who they are personally and the traits the the wife and i have instilled in them. we have raised 2 of the most respectful children you will ever meet. not just my opinion, everyone tells us. they work hard get good grades and respect other peoples property and privacy. i could only hope that they continue that linage.
as far as myself, i couldn't careless if anyone but my family remembers me when i'm gone.

Wish I could say I would have one, but the marriage and kids thing seems to be escaping me. I don't have regrets mind you, I had opportunities, but I made the right decisions in ending the relationships. Better to be single than with the wrong person.
I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, keep me here.

Thank You Hobbit!
My legacy is living a life by the golden rule, and I tried to make people feel better walking out of a room than they did when they walked in (insert joke here).
The scale is probably determined by those that are left.
Ps. Ashes here too, the wife knows to spread them on a golf course, preferably St. Andrews.
