I found out the other day that EVERYONE in my family reads the obituaries every day.
Except me.
I actually thought this was really strange. Then I remembered that it is probably because my Great Grandpa was a mortician and the family still runs the business. I guess that it is just in the genes.
Except mine.
There is a part of me that still thinks that it is a little strange.
I still love you guys though!
Does anyone else read the obituaries everyday?

Hey I confessed to this months ago (actually 3 months ago today).
I even admitted to this being strange, but do you know how many old friends/etc. I've found in there? It's actually kind of freaky.
During the press conference when they announced the new first presidency Pres Monson commented that he reads them everyday too. I think that I am just following the prophet.
Quite a few people in my family read the Obits every day too. I don't. (I think it's a sign of old age- you see more people you know as you get older)
Man! muncey must be OLD!! (wink wink)
I'm in your camp. I think it is pretty weird. I understand it, but I think it is weird.
I don't take the paper so I don't read the obits every day, but when I do read the paper I usually read them. I think it's more to see how people died, like I can somehow avoid going out the same way. My mom comes from a family of undertakers too. You can talk about anything at the dinner table without grossing her out.
I used to when I was little, my grandparents took the paper. I don't take the paper now, so no. I like to read them though. I don't think it is morbid.
I read them every day, faithfully!!! If nothing else, I have to see who died. Surprisingly, we have found a number of people we knew from high school or Brian's mission. I even found a little girl I used to teach. Sad.
