Text of the page (random words):
very quickly also all funeral costs have to be paid up front no you don t get to finance a funeral post mortem if you don t have enough money in the bank to pay for everything then somebody else does speaking of which if you dropped dead tomorrow would anybody know where all your financial assets are email and other online accounts passwords for all of these things sure ok your spouse but what if you both got hit by a bus do you have a will if not then everything becomes much much more complicated even if it is just you and your spouse has a notion of what you want assuming y all have actually discussed it much he or she will be burdened with making lots of decisions while also dealing with grief if you love your loved ones you will not put them through this another thing too if you die outside of the country then again everything becomes more a great deal more complicated and of course expensive if nothing was worked out in advance palm mortuary is one if not the biggest funeral services in the country and have networks all over the world for a very reasonable one time insurance fee they ll arrange and pay for your body s transportation this is a no brainer look for something like this even inside your own country transportation cost can be considerable if you re inconsiderate enough to die out of state so we had another meeting where arrangements were finalized monthly payments lined up and signatures made upon the line which is dotted this package also included a simple will done with a local attorney also included is a booklet where you lay out where all of your bank accounts credit cards etc so that whoever is your somebody else who has to close out your books has a place to start after this i spoke with the parental units and while they have wills made out they haven t actually done any advanced funeral planning so i referred him to them they met with the guy and now they re squared away too as i m their somebody else this is a great relief to me as human beings we don t get any say about how we come into this world but we do have a responsibility to arrange how we bow out of it a couple years ago the parents of a co worker at the office were on a cruise and her father died in his sleep on the ship she had to drop everything and fly to the u k to help her mother to do the necessary things to have him brought back it was all very expensive and a complete nightmare as she said friendly sharks may 4 2014 posted by mitchell in home comments closed this cracked me up oh and may the fourth be with you a family heirloom april 22 2014 posted by mitchell in art crochet comments closed as i think i ve mentioned elsewhere my parents are downsizing and are starting to distribute some of their stuff to the kids as i m the only one living in the same city state as they do naturally it s mostly flowing my way here s one such item you ll definitely want to clicken to embiggen this one this is a queen size crochet bedspread made by my great grandmother as my mom and dad s wedding present let s take a closer look at her handiwork that s an amazing level of detail in these sections even closer i think this was made with 3 white cotton thread maybe with a size 2 steel hook i have no idea how long it took i m only just now starting to get into thread crochet so i have just a tiny glimpse of what it takes to make something like this it s both humbling and inspiring it doesn t show in the pictures too much but there is some distinct yellowing present particularly around the edges next weekend i m going to hand wash it in my bathtub have any of y all ever had any experience in washing something like this a product endorsement april 21 2014 posted by mitchell in home tags biography history literature music comments closed let s have a bit of a break here from the artsy stuff for something even more completely different if you haven t checked it out already i highly recommend trying out audible com i ve been using the service for about a year and a half and i thoroughly enjoy it basically it s a subscription service for 15 per month where you get a credit each month you then use that credit to purchase an audible book easy peasy you can also just buy audible books outright without the subscription service i think but then you ll pay full price for it the 15 bucks is usually a great deal less than the full boat so it s a good deal to go with the subscription then you download the book to your computer pocket computer what also has a phone tablet etc larger works are broken up into sections for easier downloads i load them onto my phone and bluetooth it to my car s stereo and listen to them when i m driving around it s brilliant this is such a better use of my time in the car over listening to sweet home alabama for the 23 millionth time in my younger days i was mainly a consumer of the sci fi fantasy genre and not much else these days eh not so much the real world is actually a lot more interesting to me lately i highly recommend all of these books whether audible or dead tree versions biographies steve jobs this was a fascinating one to listen to i ve never been a apple guy so almost everything about jobs apple in this very in depth biography was new to me he was an interesting fellow and a complete asshole a bit of a stem winder at 25 hours but well worth it a curious man the strange and brilliant life of robert believe it or not ripley i absolutely loved this one i was a big fan of the believe it or not show back in the 80 s with jack palance and still read the newspaper cartoon riplely had an amazing life and career that easily easily rivals the most believe it or not people he ever highlighted in his comic non fiction the monster of florence this book details the very long and complicated story about a vicious serial killer and obviously innocent people who got caught in italy s corrupt and incompetent criminal justice system some of the people involved with this case were also involved in the amanda knox case it s an amazing book i want my mtv the hisotry of how mtv was born how it changed over the years and why it is what it is now i was in high school in the 80 s so mtv was a very big deal alas we frequently lived in areas that did not have cable as such i was cut off from a big chunk of my generation s zeitgeist it seems a lot of people did a lot of cocaine in the 80 s the gulag archipelago volume 1 solshenitsyn s extremely detailed and grim account of life in the early soviet union i ll admit this is a hard one to get through both because of the material and the narrator s voice orwell s 1984 in real life the great courses lecture series how to listen to and understand great music a simply amazing lecture series by professor greenberg that takes you through the history of western music there are 48 lectures over 36 hours so it s a long one but worth every single second the history of ancient rome of all the ancient civilizations rome is my favorite well the pre emperor republic rome anyway i m still working on this one but loving every minute of it it s directly related to the next title below historical fiction spqr series there are 13 books so far in this series about the world s first criminal detective set in ancient rome the link goes to the first one i m on book vi nobody loves a centurion these are just pure fun and rather punchy at around seven hours each i picked up the ancient rome lecture series because of these books to get some more of the back story of events that pre date the series start which right at the beginning of caesar s rise so have you read any good books lately and now something completely different april 19 2014 posted by mitchell in art home tags airbrush art butterfly comments closed butterflies are free particularly when somebody paints a butterfly for you and gives it to you for free my sister made this for me for my birthday yay clicken to greatly embiggen this is airbrushed on illustration board i m off to get a frame for it now she hasn t even been airbrushing for a year yet update with better photo of it framed looks great now i gotta find a place for it the morel challenge april 18 2014 posted by mitchell in art crochet tags morel mushrooms comments closed ok so the basic design of these things aren t hard kind of like a uh christmas tree yeah that s it a cone on a stick easy peasy so i whipped that up in no time morels top out at about seven inches and that s how tall mine is shroots aren t appropriate here so it s heavy footing time one problem i encountered with previous heavy foots is that the bottom of the forms invariably dome outward making them not as stable as they could be i figured out a solution which i ll share these are done bottom to top so when starting out leave a long tail then about the midway point after you ve put in your weighting material pull that tail tight and incorporate into the rest of the form by weaving in that end this makes a nice flat bottom that sits easily footed stuffed and closed it s now time to do the hard part the soft sponginess at first i thought i would just meander all over the top working back and forth a few rows yeah that wasn t going to work i settled on using some crochet thread i had lying around made a long tape a bit over a 1 4 inch wide of few rows of single crochet back and forth i then sewed sections of these tapes in a meandering fashion it worked out pretty good i think check it out clicken to embiggen i think it compares pretty favorably to the first example picture in the post below here s a closer look at the texture it s not quite done yet though next is to get out the airbrush and darken up those interior pockets and some light warm yellows around the outside to make the folds really pop i need some further instruction from mr king on this and he s been a bit incommunicado lately i hope everything s ok check back tomorrow i have something really special a shroom for a king april 16 2014 posted by mitchell in art crochet tags morels mushrooms comments closed not quite two weeks ago in the comments a request challenge was posted by blog friend lemur king i will pay good money if you can do a morel mushroom my dad is an amateur myco gastronomist um ok leaving aside what good money might be i needed to know what morel mushrooms actually look like he tasks me he tasks me these are but two examples of several varieties all are pointy ish and spongy with different shades of yellow peach pale white on the outside and deeper variants of those colors on the inside i looked for morel mushroom patterns online of course but the very few examples i saw were terrible so i just started to make my own morel mushroom a humongous fungus among us april 14 2014 posted by mitchell in art crochet tags mushrooms comments closed yes it s been a very long build up to that headline but it s worth it i think the shroom of primes this design actually has a concept behind it its structural elements are comprised of the first prime numbers 1 2 3 5 7 there is one central trunk two branches three caps each having three five and seven points to them and of course the three shroots yes i recycled and reworked the previous mitchshroom cap design for this one i wanted to explore the versatility of the basic technique and it still has lots of potential some notes about this one i stuck with the same thicker wire gauge all throughout and that made things a lot simpler currently structured it s right at two feet tall for the filler i ve used both poly fill and cotton balls in the past i don t like poly fill as it s hell to try to stuff it in the smaller tubes but i used it in this one next time around i m going back to cotton but i need to find something better than the balls the top seven pointed cap got a bit too big and isn t as stable as i d like it to be this is a fantastic build but even as i finished it i realized that i reached the end of this particular material structure paradigm and came up with new one this new system will make for faster more expressive and far more stabler builds also the previous versions required that actually work around the wire structure that s really annoying particularly when the top is at eye pokey level folks you ain t seen nothing yet oh and also you ll see the albinos in glorious color soon too i hope next thursday is the start of a five day weekend for me woot time to bust out the airbrushes and procion dyes i also need to start working on new cap designs i can t always dip into this well hmmmmm older posts search admin controls log in stuff for me create account log in entries feed comments feed wordpress com recent comments geoff on the
