embalming....Jewish faith?
Andrea
Wasn't that mentioned in Kaddish?
Isn't it part of the reason the funeral has to take place so quickly?

Not just Jewish. It is common in England for
corposes not to be embalmed. From what I
have heared they will embalm you there only
if you are a buryier and sometimes if you are a
burner. But never if you are an eater or dumper.

partly about the fast funeral. i think we belileve that the grieving
should be gotten through and life should be gotten on with. by keeping
the body around, the grief is prolonged and the "ashes to ashes...."
part should be prompt.

We can burn her, bury her, or dump her.
Dump her?
Yes, in the Thames.

Yes.

caring for the deceased and preparing for the burial. This period is known
as aninut. During this time, the mourners are exempt from all positive
commandments ("thou shalts"), because the preparations take first priority.
This period usually lasts a day or two; Judaism requires prompt burial.
Being a desert people, burial as quickly as possible seems plausible. Most
of the kosher laws also came from heat and spoiling food possibilites.

Unfortunately, I just recently had personal experience with this. The
Jewish funeral home asked my mom if she wanted my stepfather's body
embalmed or refrigerated. Since we are not particularly observant Jews,
she asked the funeral director which was more appropriate and received
the above answer. She had him embalmed. We had the funeral three days
after his death.

well, I was mostly kidding. I'm a reformed Pythonite myself.
Used to be, when someone would say, "We demand..." I'd respond "a

But now, when someone says "We are the knights who say..." I just elbow them

seen to celebrate Christmas. Granted, it is not uncommon for an actor to bring his
own faith into a role he plays (and it's not hard to understand, either, since our
birth faith is pretty deeply ingrained in all of us), but I can't recall that DD
has ever said specifically what faith Mulder is.
It might certainly explain why Mulder wasn't embalmed, I guess. I don't really buy
the 'closed coffin' argument since to the best of my knowledge, even 'closed
coffin' bodies are embalmed if it is at all possible, and he didn't look so bad
that it seemed impossible. Certainly the undertaker dressed him up nice in a good
suit, so I imagine the body would have been embalmed at the same time.

Most of the people dying in England now are being cremated, at least as my

You're right, it is a free ng, he/she can do whatever he/she pleases, as can you.
And people would also be free to start ignoring his posts because they were
harder to read and follow because of the top quoting, and he'd get frustrated
and call us all a bunch of clikish idoits and we'd lose someone who might have
something worthwhile to share with the group, but he'd be independent, dammit,

True. But their innovation was in accepting that fact

Welcome to our happy little group, Ashley. And when I say happy, I mean
like a crazy, dysfunctional kind of happy. But it works for us, most times
:-)

Arguing is seldom fruitful; taking good advice is.
If you wish to present your thoughts in a coherent manner so that they can
be read and understood - and to receive feedback on your thoughts, it's very
good advice.
But here I end my rant.

As long as we are doing some sharing here, I'd like your take on this,
Ashley. I named my youngest son Jesse for a number of reasons. It started
with the meaning of the name. "By the grace of God". He was a gift; he was
conceived without medical technology as were my first two. He was
identified via amnio to be a boy, and due date of December 25 via sonogram.
My husband was a carpenter at the time, and I was considered to be a sterile
(barren) woman. Couldn't exactly call him the obvious, so I opted for a
search of the meanings of names, came up with Jesse "by the grace of God".
And since Jesse in the OT was the father of King David, and Jesus would come
"from the root of Jesse", it seemed to fit with the wacky circumstances of
his conception. Now this info I would never dump on a kid until he was an
adult, but I thought Jesse was a great name. It conjured up images of very
strong men - Jesse James, Jesse Owens (young 'uns may not know who he was),
Jesse Jackson (before the scandel). But, as I learned from the time he was
born, people asked me if my baby was a boy or a girl. I pointed out the
spelling - JESSE versus JESSIE, but to no avail.
What do I have to look forward to with that name, judging from your
experience?
> > > > > (i freakin' HATE Gone With the Wind)
Aah, John Doggett. Did they ever know that with this introduction of this
character that it would alter the speech of the atxf participants.
Everything freakin' everything now a days.

Just think of the positives, you don't have to worry about who to spend the
holidays with (you can choose - and Ken's a great cook, so you don't have to
do any holiday cooking, just bring the wine and perhaps an interested
appetizer - but no calamari), you can leave before the bickering starts and
join another feast in progress (Archie and Sean's melted butter
"therapeutic" massage on Scully naked body - which by the way boys, will be
very helpful for her stretchmarks - just don't start her lactating until
*after* the baby is born. You don't want to rob the baby of critical
colostrum), or you could join a Gizzie peep session with! hot chocolate.
And there's always the Treatment Facility if you get too stressed out.
And, final note, what's your take on thongs, black silk boxers, and black
pushup bra spandex slips as party attire?
OK, I'm getting sleep silly. Back to bed.

like the choices that his parents made for him. or he'll change it... :)

Couldn't call him the obvious? Are you sure you're latina? Why in my
family alone, I have at least 3 first cousins named Jesus. Jesse is a good
name, by the way :)

Yeah, but hubby is a gringo. Although when I visit home, the kids instantly
transform from Carly to Carlita, Derek to Rico, and Jesse to Jesus

But you have to get with the times. The Census shows that the majority of
this country is going to be named Jose, Juan, and Maria within the next 20
years. Our nicknames are cooler. Chepe is a better nicknmae than Joey.
Chuy sounds better than Jess. I like Rico a lot as well. Of course, I
should talk. I named my son after an Austrian nobleman, Maximilian I, who
was duped into believing the people of Mexico wanted him to be their
emperor.

I also gave my children middle names that were the maiden names of female
parents/grandparents. Carly Zerquera Fischer, Derek Martignetti Fischer,
Jesse MacGowan Fischer. I figure if Jesse really hates his name, he can
call himself Mac Fischer.

It's a black pushup bra spandex slip one piece number (Jose ::thuds::). I
don't wear it to *bed*, I wear it as party attire. Cuz it matches Archie's
black silk boxers. But all that gets shed when we get nekkid.
Hope that helps. And thanks for the feedback on my son's name.

hey, that's why i qualified it with "pretty". in my high school there was a
male wrestler named ashley. one of the boys in that lame ass boyband O-Town is
named ashley (does he count as a boy?). when i was picking out colleges i got
applications from all-boys schools.
--ashley, thought duk's dad's name was daffy. or scrooge (as in Uncle from
