White is a very sensible color--if I learn to eat more tidily.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Connie, I'm sorry both about the body donation and the money concerns.
SJ, how are you doing over there?
To be honest, not great. I didn't sleep very well over the weekend, partly because of fireworks going on all night, but for other reasons as well. And as much as I was trying to enjoy family time, I was just exhausted and wanted to be alone by yesterday morning. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow after the d&c.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
If wearing all black isn't an option, one of the Jewish mourning customs is to wear a torn piece of black ribbon pinned to your shirt.

Interestingly, I discovered that several places do research on cremated remains.

I adopted that custom after Mom passed, because I felt like I needed some sort of signifier of my grief.
You're in my thoughts, Connie.

Here are two, Connie:
Colorado Mesa [link] -- See third point.
Southeast Texas Applied Forensic Science Facility, Sam Houston State University [link] - Again, third point.
I don't know that it saves you anything, but it looks like they're working to discover how much forensic information can be derived from cremated bodies.

Yeah, he was MRSA-colonized. I don't blame them for excluding that.
