Well, can you blame them?
SHUTDOWN!

I figured I had a "specialized skill" which weighs in your favor because I can, you know, embalm people, but then I learned that in Italy and most of Europe they opt for quick burials and rarely embalm and you have to be a medical doctor to do that.Well, can you blame them?
My wife and I had a friend who had a very simple burial basically in the woods. No embalming, no nothing except a 6' trench dug out. The option was to have it dug with an excavator or hand dug. The guy was concerned about all the chemicals leaching back into the soil and he didn't want to be cremated. Basically the lowest carbon footprint. It's actually not a bad idea and they'd been doing it for years with no issues with zombies. None that we know about anyways. Nobody has seen Jeff meandering down the road anyway.

Not sure your point here, other than showing a SnapTokFace video of someone you follow.
I claimed/said ZERO about a percent of income/revenue received.
I said NOTHING about cause and effect of vaccines administered.
Your cool hip video has literally ZILCH to do with what we were discussing.
It does confirm one of my points, though - providers receive incentives ( aka money ) from the administration of vaccinations, COVID or otherwise.
But kudos to this doctor for not contracting with any insurance carriers.
She's 100% correct on that front.
Good for her and those like her.

US burials are just weird to me. Sorry Burg. I remember when my sister died in 1984. They had a closed casket service (devout Catholic) because the embalming chemicals caused her to puff up, and she looked funny. I thought it was an odd thing to do that in the first place, and it's really just a multi step way to pour chemicals into the soils.
Then she had a concrete tomb in the ground that the ornate coffin was put into. So, embalming chemicals, expensive wood and brass coffin with sealers and stains, and concrete, all in the soils. Why? I told Mrs. Fan that if she outlives me, to just donate my remains to something, or do one of those tree burials, or whatever is cheaper and doesn't pollute. I've moved out of that bag of bones anyway, and won't be interested in what happens to the remains anyway. I plan on being very distracted by an amazing show of incredibleness at the time, thank you.
nah. imma take Flog's eavesdropping while emptying trash cans over anything anyone else has to say about the medical profession.
has anyone heard from @Steeltime? wondering if he got those horses into the room above his garage before Miz Steeltime found out and expressed her love and understanding!
You’re ******* clueless.
How does an UNDOCUMENTED, with no social security number, get federal health care benefits? How do they know they even exist?
Go ahead, take another two days to reply with another sufficiently vague tepid response.
You should know how.
Did you ask them?
Yeah, I saw the obviously mocking comment by Zona about using the upstairs bonus room for the boys. How dumb do you think I am, trying to get horses upstairs into that room?
Also, horses won't climb stairs. Never mind how I know this.

so you have room for an undocumented Ogurr to live? nice. we'll send it on it's way. Ogurr hooves allow it to climb stairs. and trees. and mud mounds.
Florida is home to just three things: mosquitoes, alligators and Ogurr.
Let's keep it that way.

Steeler4Ever pretty much answered your question, xjx. In a double-blind study of Steeler Nation members, with a 3% error rating, and backed up by nearly five years of data, the evidence proves conclusively that a $50 debt - a debt willingly acknowledged, and one that is valid and owed - will not be paid by those who owe the debt.
It's scyence, xjx. Jitter$50 can fill you in on the details regarding the study participants.

How many times do you need walked through EMTALA?
Government Shutdown Update Day 6
The horrors continue. I mean I presume so since I have not ventured off the property yet, but if the Fed shuts down then certainly chaos and destruction follow, right? RIGHT? Otherwise, why the hell do we need all this government?
Seems that the power is still on. Wife told me that is a local function, not Fed. Water continues to flow clean and clear. Again, a local function. Roads are still in good repair. Streets a local function as well? Huh. Grocery stores open, I am told, and not run by governments at all. Hospitals still open, commerce running, kids still in school. Unbelievable. None of those need the Federal government?
Have to venture out tomorrow so I am pretty sure my optimistic bubble will be burst by the horrors and trauma dominating Northern Georgia due to a bunch of Federal employees waiting for their next paycheck. Hey, maybe they should talk to about 100 million Americans who felt the same thing during the Covid shutdowns! Except of course we never got back pay, did we?
Until tomorrow, Steeler Nation and stay safe. Definitely heading out tomorrow for a haircut. No choice. Told wife I was considering doing it myself and she said, "You should. Nobody would notice." Wife can be an ***.

Local DC news just lead off with how Washington is “PARALYZED” from the shutdown. It’s just showing how useless most of them are.

You keep invoking EMTALA.
That is a passed LAW. It already is and exists.
The moderator is not asking about, nor are these people running for president raising their hand about, EMTALA.
Since you’re not even listening to your own posted video, the question posed to these presidential candidates by the moderator was, “Whose HEALTHCARE PLAN will include COVERAGE for undocumented workers?”
Apples and hand grenades.
( Insert Tim’s line here )
That might not be legal. At least not in PA.
The concrete box is referred to as a burial vault or outer burial container. Its purpose is not to protect the casket but to keep the ground from sinking in. Otherwise your cemetery will look like a washboard. Most, but not all, cemeteries require them.
I always say that if preservation is your goal then you are better off spending a few hundred extra on a better vault than a few thousand extra on a better casket.
The Wilbert Monticello is the shiznit for burial vaults. Tremendous value for the money.
There are some "green" cemeteries that will bury you in just a shroud or paper container so you can go "naturally" and be eaten by zee bugs.
We have one in the Pittsburgh area. Green cemeteries do require that you be embalmed with certified green embalming fluid so formaldehyde doesn't get into the ground. I've never used it but I'm told it doesn't work as well. But as my old boss used to say, "We're not embalming The Pope here, the face and hands only have to look good for two days, now hurry up."
