  1. My wife died during Covid lockdown when funerals were limited to seven members of immediate family. She had indicated that although she was Catholic, she wanted to be cremated. She was cremated at an "unattended cremation" at a country crematorium and her ashes returned in a rosewood casket. When the lockdown was lifted we had a Catholic memorial with 40 attendees, the casket at the front of the church in place of the coffin. It now sits on a cabinet in our loungeroom. I have told my family, when the time comes, I want to be treated the same way. I am not fussed about a church memorial. The only ones who would attend are my wider family. Members of the Shed rarely attend members funerals. My cousin is a marriage and funeral celebrant, so she could conduct a family memorial. Funerals can cost $10,000 to $15,000 or more, taking into account the coffin, the undertaker, the hearse, the mourning car and the cemetery plot. A fixed price unattended cremation costs $2,200 including the rosewood casket.
  2. The wife of the terrorist shot dead by police has said they were separated and she wants nothing to do with his body. She has signed it over to the government. There are calls for ite to be cremated, which is banned in the Muslim religion, and which is considered the most disrespect. Read more here.

    Close enough, but it's actually All YOU need is love. Beatles lyrics, and the finger points at YOU.

    Quickies part 2

    Here's a clever post from FB supposedly written by a US soldier, going by the photo that was attached to it. I’m the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you tried to mug the other night. You pulled a knife on me and my girlfriend, demanding I hand over my jacket, and also asked for her purse and earrings. I hope you come across this message because there are a few things I want to clear up. First off, I’m really sorry for the embarrassment you must’ve felt. I didn’t expect you to literally crap your pants when I pulled out my pistol after you took my jacket. I mean, it wasn’t that cold, and I had the jacket on for a reason. You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that same night. It’s a pretty intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn’t it? I can only imagine how unpleasant it was walking away from me especially barefoot after I made you leave your shoes, wallet, and cell phone behind. I figured without those, you wouldn’t be able to call for backup or run to get help to mug us again. After that, I called your mom yeah, she’s listed as “Momma” in your phone and explained the situation. Then I went to fill up my gas tank, using your credit card. I wasn’t the only one filling up, though I also took care of four other people’s tanks at the gas station, including the guy with the motor home who was super grateful after I filled up 153 gallons for him. I ended up giving your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go’s, along with all the cash from your wallet. That definitely made his day. Oh, and I tossed your wallet into the big “pimp mobile” parked at the curb, after smashing the windshield, side window, and keying the whole driver’s side of the car. Had to make it memorable, you know? Earlier, I made a few phone calls two to the DA’s office and one to the FBI. I mentioned President Obama as a possible target, and the FBI agent I spoke to seemed pretty serious. We had a nice, long chat (guess he was tracing your number, etc.). Look, I should apologize for not just killing you, but honestly, I think what I did is a far more fitting punishment for your crime. You can reflect on your choices while dealing with all the issues I’ve just handed you. And remember, next time you try something like this, you might not be so lucky. Best of luck sorting things out.

  7. Some of the reply comments: Lou Black So. Trump will be involved with designing them? To use a Ukrainian joke, they will eventually be recommissioned as submarine class Gary Mckeating Being British and we call farts "trumps". This makes me happy Gus Peterson Does it stall out and go to sleep in the middle of an engagement? Or, before it even gets to said engagement, develop a case for deferment via rudder spurs? Patty Redeker He was probably playing battleship and someone sunk his….. Kathryn Luchsinger $20 bet there will be a USS Trump, USS Melania, USS Kirk, USS Vance.....etc
  8. The Australian soap opera community is mourning the loss of the beloved actress Belinda Giblin, famous for her role as Martha Stewart in the hit series Home and Away. She passed away peacefully at her home at the age of 75 following a period of declining health. She made a significant mark in other prominent TV series, including The Box, The Sullivans, and Sons and Daughters. She was also an accomplished stage actress.
  9. No. He said submarines are the most dangerous and powerful weapons and he wants the production speeded up.
  10. How do we know that\s a joke?
