Has anyone had their child cremated?
Comments (16)Thank you... those are very reasonable prices. I want to get one in the shape of the cross. Dan was buried so I thought about what to put in the mini urn... I have no hair and I don't want the dirt that covers his case Instead I chose something alive with power, You see last summer we went to this huge cave, and in the back was a grate that covered an ice pit... I knew what was down there, from family lore... a "walk-in geode", as Dan called it when he got down there and saw. We were both amazed by the crystals which grew from the ceiling and the walls. But vandals had smashed the main foyer to get at the precious crystals in unjustifiable excess. We crawled further down the pit until we were in the very bowels of the earth, and there was a... a hole, an underground fissure - Dan climbed up and slipped through it! If you've ever read Stephen King's Desperation, it was sort of like that - except not evil. Dan went in there and that's when he exclaimed through the icey echoing walls, "it's like a walk in geode"! Well, when it came time to get out of the ice pit, I knew I was going to have problems. I had accidently left my crampons back in Seattle, and the prospect of climbing a steep ice wall without them was daunting. It soon became apparent I wasn't strong enough to exert the required force (about 10 pullups) to get out of there. Dan and my boyfriend were the only two souls with me in the bowels of the earth, and they pulled my butt up out of there, with strong arms. I remember watching Dan shimmy up the ice wall with no problem, just before my miserable attempt. Then I got stuck in the grate, haha, I can still hear him nervously laughing. I had to take my harness off and go back under, crossing over to a bigger hole in the grate like monkey-bars style, with only my own shaking arm muscles and sweaty hands to stop me from plunging into the deep sharp darkeness. That, and Dan's hands reassuringly close through the bars. He helped me out and I crawled through icey mud and water, my precious few prizes digging into my pocketflesh painfully. This whole scary episode took hours, it was real hard for them to pull me out coz I was exhausted from trying with all my might to clamber up this slippery wall and falling. I remember bursting out in the sunlight, so shaky from adrenaline... I knew I could have lost my life, but the two men I loved most were there to save me. I sure wish I could have returned the favor. :( Anyway, Dan came out of there with a piece of the walk in geode, ... it's this little... upright crystal city with a rock base... it has many crystal spires and is breathtakingly beautiful. It was down there covered in dirt and mud deep in the earth, and Dan cleaned it and polished it and set it on his mantle. I took it back when he passed. It is very fragile and the pieces, teh crystal spires come off easily. I'm going to put a few shards in my cross urn. I think it is the place he would want to be. Here is a link that might be useful: Dan's friend's took me to the scene of the accident...See MoreGirl talk: Has anyone had uterine ablation surgery?
Comments (22)I had an ablation about 6 years ago. I had previously had surgery to remove a couple of fibroids and that helped considerably, but a year later I was still having bleeding issues and I had the ablation. (my doctor had suggested it at the time of the fibroid removal, but I didn't want to do them both at the same time). My periods didn't stop, but I discovered Light tampons, and only needed about 5 of them a month. I haven't heard of women having hormonal problems after ablation. I certainly didn't have any problems with my procedure, which was done with the balloon method. I had cramping for less than 12 hours, then felt fine. You do need to use birth control, because you can conceive, but there is no where for the embryo to implant without the lining, so a pregnancy could be dangerous. I think that it's important to know why you are having bleeding problems. For example,if you have fibroids like I did, an ablation isn't going to remove the underlying problem....See MoreHas anyone ever painted a crystal chandelier?
Comments (13)I wouldn't paint the connectors unless I tried it with them as is and found it really bothered me. But I also wouldn't paint that fixture, especially if that is truly crystal or it is a higher end fixture and the finish is in good shape. If it is glass, it probably doesn't matter that much, but I think the colors reflected in crystal will be prettier with the metal finish than with white. I also think of white fixtures are a recent thing that will soon seem dated while the metal finish is more classic. I may be wrong, but it seems to me that every time white fixtures come into fashion, they are fairly short lived and I like that fixture enough to want to keep it around....See MoreJust curious.......has anyone had eye exam at Walmart ?
Comments (13)I've been to the one at my Missouri Walmart many times.. he does not work for Walmart, but is a independent optometrist. I also get my glasses there. He is much nicer and does a thorough eye exam unlike some of the other places I have been to (such as Clarkson Eyecare, which was the worst exam and lenses ever.. took me months of adjustments and changes of lenses and the glasses were still not right. I did finally receive a refund and promptly went back to Walmart, even though it is a out-of-network provider for my insurance now. So worth it though!)....See Moreagnespuffin
