Like you were going to church (on TV) but one step more casual?
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, a day dress, probably?

Dress pants and a nice blouse? Non-fancy dress?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, cute dress in bright colors?

So I'm going to a funeral this afternoon that I just realized is a Jewish ceremony. Anything I need to know? That sounds like a stupid question, but I like being prepared rather than surprised.
Edit: As far as I know, the widow (my friend) is not particularly devout, but I don't know about her husband or their family. It's just taking place at a cemetery.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Sending lots of strength and love your way, Liese. I'm glad you are finding time to take care of yourself as well.
Seriously, that's an undue burden? Is the government supposed to just figure things out without being notified? Craziness.
I believe the undue burden is not the effort required, but the fact that despite their clear intention to deny birth control coverage, there is still a way for their employees to get it. The psychological burden of knowing that some of their employees might be having non-procreative sex is just unbearable.

A minor moral quandary. A young man who talked to Hubby a lot for advice sent me a message on FB asking for my phone number so he could ask for some non-family advice. The problem is, I think this guy is a fairly despicable human being, but I socialized with him with Hubby. Maybe he's come to some sort of revelation that I could help him not be so despicable. But I don't want to talk to him. I think I'd rather just do this over FB messaging. I think I'll use the excuse of not-unlimited minutes and the problems of finding a convenient time to talk.

Dana, the same clothes that you'd wear to any funeral should suffice.

I don't think there's much that's very different, Dana, but I'm not sure what you're used to. There may be some shoveling of dirt into the grave at the end, but I don't think that's obligatory for all the attendees. Going back to the house after for some food and chat is expected but not in, like, a procession. Don't bring flowers.

You aren't obligated to maintain social ties if you don't want to, Connie. "I don't like giving out my number" is enough reason, I would think.
