| Posted By: SDE Posted On: Jan 9, 2005 Views: 529 | RE: Electronics It is on the WEST side Washington, which we all know is WEST of Main which is the E/W cut-off. But it is on the NORTH side of town... so I guess I am a Northie now huh? |
| Posted By: GirlUWant Posted On: Jan 9, 2005 Views: 526 | RE: Electronics Who said that was the E/W cut-off? The city limits have grown more to the West, so I bet technically it is more East! |
| Posted By: observant Posted On: Jan 9, 2005 Views: 526 | RE: Electronics Tell me the truth, SDE. You guys are always very attentive and show real concern to everyone at the funeral. Aren't you really just wanting the day to be over with so you can enjoy your evening and not have to deal with a bunch of weeping people whom you've never met crying over some other person you've never met? I mean, if you actually CARED on an emotional level, wouldn't your job drive you into a depression? |
| Posted By: SDE Posted On: Jan 9, 2005 Views: 520 | RE: Electronics Observant -- I guess some might say so... and I do honestly feel empathy/sympathy for EVERY family I meet with. Yes, I do have feelings of sadness even if I don't know the survivors or deceased personally. In my career (which has been rather short -- but that is a completely different story) I have personally waited on 400 families (not to mention the funerals I worked that I did not really have personal contact with before the funeral -- the place I worked at in Dallas for 2 years did approx 2500 services a year), and each one of those families got me in a genuine mode, and took a bit of my heart with them, while I got to keep a bit of theirs. I do admit, that since I deal with a death on such a regular basis, that when I get home I tend not to dwell on the funeral/service/grief. It is not coldness, or insensitivity, but rather a defence for my own sanity. Ask GirlUWant (she knows me in person - D'oh, now everone knows), I am not a drip, and I do like to have fun, but I take my job very seriously. I guess I have Funeral or Work ME, and Fun at home ME, and I can switch it on and off at will, even at 3am on Christmas day. Does that answer your question? |
| Posted By: observant Posted On: Jan 10, 2005 Views: 506 | RE: Electronics Yes, it does. Thanks. I look forward to talking to you later! Have a great night, observant. |
| Posted By: crashIO Posted On: Jan 10, 2005 Views: 499 | RE: Electronics Save yourself some time and do what I do...if you need to go somewhere and it is expected of you to iron your clothes...then don't go. Or you can throw the clothes in the dryer w/ a damp wash cloth...thats like ironing...sorta... |

| Posted By: Will Posted On: Jan 11, 2005 Views: 469 | RE: Electronics So, is there a way to drain a bloated body and make it presentable in an open casket? Just curious after seeing all those bloated tsunami victims. |
| Posted By: SDE Posted On: Jan 13, 2005 Views: 451 | RE: Electronics Drain? There are ways to embalm a bloated body. It happens all the time. The difference between here, and Hindu and Islamic funeral rites is this (especially in other countries other than the US) is unacceptable. It is against their religion to embalm or restore/reconstruct. |
| Posted By: chris Posted On: Jan 14, 2005 Views: 444 | RE: Electronics Does an Iron really count as "Electronics"? True, it works with electric, but I think it is considered more of a small appliance than anything else. Would you consider a cofee maker beloning in the "electronics" category? I think an iron has more in common with a tea kettle than it would with say an Ipod or TV. And an Iron really isn;t that complicated to figure out. You just plug it in, it gets hot, you use it. What's the problem here? If you have trouble understanding an iron, I cant imagine how you deal with a stereo or alarm clock. Do you know how to start your car? Programing your VCR must have been the equivalent of sending a man on the moon for you. Do you know how to use a light switch?? |
| Posted By: GirlUWant Posted On: Jan 14, 2005 Views: 441 | RE: Electronics uh...like I said, I'm pretty unsmart about electronics...I can use the alarm clock fine, but I have not a clue how to set up the VCR, as in connecting all the stuff, that is what men and children are for! LOL! As far as the iron, I guess it is not considered electronics per say, but I just meant that I wouldn't even attempt to try to fix it. I should throw it away this weekend and get a new one! Very few of my clothes really need to be ironed, but there is this obnoxious orange linen jacket that I would love to wear should the occasion arise to get to see the Cowboys play basketball or wrestle! |
