Best of luck with your surgery, and for a speedy recovery.
Thanks! I hope so too. This doc is supposed to be one of the best.

Seems like a lot of trouble
Yeah, it's pretty sad actually. I wish it was a short visit, but they're keeping me for a week. I gotta be face down during that time, which is going to be difficult with my neck and shoulder issues, so we'll see how that goes. Taking a thick towel to form a cradle.

As for the ashes thing, there is a law out here called abandonment of a corpse, which doesn't make sense as people pay the temple to have a stone temple thing that the urns are placed into. If the people refuse to pay, then the temple takes the urns out, places them into a big room and the stone temple thing is thrown away. I guess if the temple is still in business, the urns are not abandoned, but the family did. Anyway, whatever.

But it doesn't seem to be affecting things right now. Wonder who the two hidden members are???

Yes, lots of web crawlers! I'm monitoring performance though and it's holding up well.

There's a lot of fine tuning needed to not block out the good crawlers yet ban the bad ones. We want to be on Google. But we don't need every bot there is crawling the site. Also trying to block the scammers too of course.
 


My sister spread my Brother in Law ashes all over the country. Some in Hawaii, some in the back yard in Orland Park, Illinois, some in Grand Haven, mi, Kiawah Island and a few other places. All places they had been to and loved to visit. It’s illegal!. Big F’ing deal, who is going to say anything…
Grand Haven is where I am originally from. I have relatives in the cemeteries there..
 
Washing new sheets this afternoon. Because someone washes and put the same set back on the bed, the wife thought we needed another set. I said we have another in the closet. She asked why I don't rotate them in so we're not on 1 set. I told her because I don't like folding sheets. Easier to wash and put back on the bed than to break out the other set and fold the first set. Now I still have to fold a set... 🤣
 
Must be a guy thing! That's the way I do it as well. I strip the bed, wash them, and put them right back on!

Much easier in my book!
That is exactly what I do.
I have a set of cotton flannel sheets for winter and regular cotton sheets for summer. I do have a back-up set of both folded in the closet.
I'm single and folding sheets is wasted time for me.
