There's a sea change in obituaries: Glam pics [View all]

Besides that at my Old Coot age there are lots more younger than me in the obits, plus these days I can see somebody I think is "old" and more often than not when I get to talk to them they turn out to be YOUNGER than I am!1 Disgusting!1


Anyway, first there were the standard obits, just the facts, occasionally some that were more descriptive and creative, then most of them having pictures adjoined whether they added anything or not. Sometimes with the wildass Boomers, there are some bizarre ones around the theme of "free spirit" or some nutso nicknames.

But very recently there have been some glam-shots, mostly of women in their 30s/40s.
