So does she! Unless there's an option for just wrapping her in newspapers. She takes pride in being cheap and she wants us to save some money to have a party celebrating her life.
I dunno that we'll be able to manage a full-fledged party, but y'know.
I cannot fathom wasting good bits. Body bits count. If you're atheist or agnostic, you probably would want to out of sheer pragmatism. It's logical. If you're of any of the major faiths that believe that it's just a shell and the soul's going on to better things anyway, you should want to so that someone else's life on this crazy world is just a little bit easier. Still logical.
That reminds me of my great-grandmother who said something the effect of "dig a post-hole and drop me in it." We actually did that with my grandmother. She was cremated and we put her in a small popcorn tin (no joke, my aunt made my mom paint the tin [with Rustoleum because, and I quote, "she might rust down there!"] a nice grey, but it was still a popcorn tin). The tin was nicely cylindrical so my uncle dug a post-hole and we buried in it in the cemetary. I don't think health-codes would let you get away with wrapping her in newspapers though, too bad.
Have a pot-luck dinner? Frugal and you can celebrate!
Oh, I agree, totally. Even though Diego is Jewish he still wants to be cremated and I think donate organs, but I'd have to double-check on that.
Don't call him Latino. If you have to call him something, say "Hispanic" it pisses him off slightly less.
His dad is Catholic, his mom is Jewish. Your Jew-ness is determined by the mom. He's not terribly observant, but he did light candles for Rosh Hashnah! His mom is pretty observant though, I don't think she's thrilled that I'm not Jewish. We will be celebrating "generic winter holiday" though I think. I'm not a terribly observant protestant, so, eh whatever.
He says you don't talk to him anymore. He says you're never online when he is. He says you would inject some amusement into his day if you were on and he's all for talking to you. :)
I'm full-time nao. I don't know what his excuse is.
He doesn't like Latino? It always seemed so simple and and and...termy. Aunno, I used it cuz I couldn't for the life of me actually remember what he said about his ethnicity and I'm tired.
He's online from work he said he never sees you anymore. Can you see him when he's online? Maybe you should ping him...?
He's weird about word origins. Hispanic means "of Spain" or something and since he is of Spanish decent he's OK-ish with that. Latino means something else that I forget and he's cooking so I'll have to ask later.
It's cool. He's from the small population of Sephardic Jews in Ecuador. ;)

Really, once I'm dead, take whatever you need/want, I wanna be cremated anyway, so it's not like it matters.

They also have a really nice article about my religion (if you're interested) here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_Brethren
Do that, I know he misses talking to you. :)
