I like that are so many options open to dead people. DH has stated that he doesn't want a funeral service or viewing, which I understand. But the more I think about it, the more I wonder how I will feel and how our friends and family would feel without the chance to say good-bye to him. Funerals are for the living.
I also think I might like to look into one of those teaching methods of body disposal. I think it sounds pretty cool the idea of some young doctor or scientist learning something important from my cold, dead ass.
I've had a hot bath and pizza is on its way. This makes me very happy. That and the peanut butter easter egg.
My father's a mortician, like his father before him, and I spent my first 6 years living in the mortician's home built into the family mortuary.
A good friend of mine is dating a mortician. He's young, cute and gay and when they started dating you can bet the Six Feet Under jokes were flying.
On a completely different note: is it strange that I've spent the last 1 1/2 hours looking at wedding dresses online? And I'm not getting married?
New tags for Susan, Cash, and Kristin.

I think women should be allowed to have one wedding a year. That's not necessarily getting
married,
that's having a wedding. Just so we have an excuse to get really dressed up and wear a wedding dress. It's not just little girls that want to play bride.
Aims, your tag is resonating with me a lot right now.

The strange thing is, I've never really thought about it before. But, now? I'm looking at wedding dresses and pricing how much it would be to release butterflies. I'm such a dork.

That's the song that got me pulled over for speeding.

Wrod. But I'm getting tired of being asked when my daughter's getting married when I pause in wedding gown stores in the mall to consider the dresses. Still, it's better than the "How many grandchildren do you have?" question.
I'm trying to remember if it was Cook's Illustrated or the local paper or Slate that just did their article on keeping wine fresh. Whichever it was, the rubber stopper method saved wine came out on top in the blind taste tests.
Cook's Illustrated (unless Slate did their own too), and the Vacu-Vin was the only one they liked. (We have one, and I can vouch for it.) The other pumpers and the nitrogen spray thingy they tested were about even with sticking the cork back in. (i.e., vinegar after a few days.)
