Marks son died 20 years ago, and at that time, he bought three adjoining cemetery plots. When his ex divorced him, she got the house, car and everything else, but Mark got the burial plots. When his ex and his daughter saw our prepared headstone next to his sons grave, they became hysterical. Annie, I am being cremated, and my ashes are being put in Marks headstone. The third cemetery plot is for any family member who might want it. They are solely in Marks name. Apparently, the ex wanted to be buried next to their son and doesnt want me in the picture at all. Now Marks daughter barely has anything to do with her father. We feel bad

The Herald

Tomorrows Horoscope
WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 2012 The year ahead is likely to be an extremely active one, especially at those times when youre putting forth far more effort and energy than usual in order to satisfy some kind of inner need. By working hard, youll obtain your desires. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If youre not careful, a domestic confrontation over a minor infraction could overwhelm the household. Even though the issue is petty, it could generate major trouble. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Although normally youre pretty good about keeping your temper in check, if youre not careful you could spontaneously overreact should your views or opinions be challenged. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Hanging around with friends who are notoriously extravagant or reckless with their funds opens up the possibility of you following their lead. Be your own person. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -If youre at odds with your mate over something trivial, make sure you resolve it before going out with friends. You wont want it to rear its ugly head when youre trying to have a good time. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Be exceptionally careful if you have to work with tools or materials with which youre unfamiliar. You might have to keep a close eye on a helper who could be inexperienced, as well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When out with friends, be on your best behavior if you find someone in the group to be brash or rude. If you respond in kind, itll make you look bad, not him or her. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Before establishing a big objective, be sure its truly worthy of the trouble it might take to achieve it and not something that you wont appreciate once you get it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your manner of expression could make a much stronger impression than you are likely to intend. Thus, be sure that what you say enhances your image, not damages it. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Being a bit of a risk taker, you could easily jump into something that is financially way over your head. Be particularly wary of anything that seems too good to be true. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Think twice before pulling the rug out from under a direct competitor. The consequences of your actions could take you down along with him or her. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Instead of vowing to eventually correct a mistake you made, take action the moment you realize your gaffe. The longer you wait, the worse itll get. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Theres a chance you could get caught up in a situation in which the position you want to take opposes the will of the majority. Dont try to fight city hall on your own.
