That's precisely the kind of thing you should make sure those around you are aware of, without a single doubt in anyone's mind.
Before my Mom died a few years ago, she told me exactly what she wanted, knowing full well it would be carried out, regardless of what other people might have thought was "best".
Someone else I know just died in a car crash a couple weeks ago, 47 years old and it's over in an instant. I know he was a smart man, and probably had all his affairs in order, but you never know.
One of the reasons I posted the thread was, to get people talking about their wishes for what is done with their remains after they pop their clogs. I know for some it might be an uncomfortable topic to discuss, but it will happen one day, whether you like it or not.
Are you prepared, does your family know what your wishes are, and not just for your body, but everything else? That would be all your possessions, property, money/investments? Have you even thought about an of this, made out a will?
Just another reason he should never be voted in as president. He didn't seem to care before he was running for office, which seems to make it out to be just another publicity stunt. One that divides people even more than they already are.
I agree, it's one of the biggest global scams of the century, and everyone is buying it. It's not like we weren't taxed hard enough before, but to add shaming people for using energy to live makes it even worse. It's like a new religion.
I can't remember everything, can't even remember how write in Finnish which I learned before English. Although, like most things, it comes back to you the more you use it.
I'm a bit rusty at a few other things as well, but that will hopefully come back to me as well, when the opportunity arises.
A splice in the end of a rope forming a closed loop that holds a high percentage of the strength and integrity of the actual rope. Much stronger than just a mere knot.
I learned it when I was a Boy Scout, but that was over 30 years ago, and without a translator, I'd be sitting here forever to type out all that I've posted so far.
It isn't burying people in anyone's back yard, it's composting them in a purpose built facility, which would fall under the category of a funeral home/crematorium, of sorts.
Research into mortality composting of livestock has shown that the microorganisms present in the wood chips and sawdust break down odorous gases into H20 (water) and CO2 (carbon dioxide). In addition, the wood chips and sawdust act as a filter, adsorbing any remaining odorous gases. In the design for the Urban Death Project, biofilters and mechanical ventilation are used to aerate the process and ensure that no trace of odor is emitted.
Traditionally I've used lye and quick lime, both seem to break a corpse down fairly well. If I'm in a hurry, caustic soda in a 45 gallon drum is the best.
So, while driving home yesterday I was listening to CBC radio, seeing as for a good part of the drive it's all I can get, although I do enjoy it.
One topic that came up was the Urban Death Project. At first I didn't know quite what to make of it, but as the program went on, I found it rather interesting, and looked it up this evening.
Basically what it is, is an alternative to traditional burial or cremation, it's composting the dead. Family and friends can dress the body in linen, then carry them up a ramp and place the body on to a layer of sawdust and wood chips, and then cover them.
The body breaks down and in a couple of months has made the journey from a carcass to compost. I know, rather crude, but you get the idea. What do others think of it, do you feel comfy knowing someone may be planting flowers in what's left of uncle Joe, or aunt Jane?
I do find it ironic that even the one in charge of an entire country is ripping off his own country. We obviously elect the wrong people in Canada. Brian Mulroney would be another one, although he was just taking bribes.
Yes, and yes, and very well if the people involved are truly open and honest. Unfortunately, many aren't, so you see the same drama that is part and parcel to every other type of relationship. Although, some do work out, just like what most consider to be the "norm", or gay, or any other type of relationship.
Personally, I used to think it would be a great thing, but now I'm convinced that I'd rather have a harem of lesbians.
Had a look at that site, and depending on the route I take, there is one fire of note south of Silverton, "the middle of nowhere". They actually have that on a sign.
Might skip my cousin's place and take the southern route.

So was the third grade for some people, that's never stopped them from posting.
