When someone starts a new thread I noticed that there are some icons next to some of the topic titles - a folder, question mark, paw print, etc. Would someone explain what the meaning of the icons are and how you use them? <p.s. I cannot see all of them clearly on my screen either>

Urgrace: There is no 'set' meaning to any of the thread icons. They are there to use if the creator of the thread chooses. One might use a whistle to call attention to a thread. Another might use the roll of toilet paper to indicate the probably content of that thread .

There may be a time when we, the moderators, might use some of these to designate threads in areas like Big Brother and we will announce them at that time.

Hope that helps.

What is the best way to clean a wipe-off board? My son doesn't always erase his and it leaves shadows of his drawings, how can I get them off? Rubbing alcohol?

Windex and paper towels or wash cloths work, Jewels. If there is alot of writing on the board, you may have to clean it a second time.

Thanks, War! I didn't want to just start trying random products on it, I knew someone here could help me! (Honestly, I figured it would be you that answered, I almost just posted the question in your folder, since it was kid related! )

LOL. I use the wipe off boards for a chore chart, and have two small ones for the kids to practice writing...lots of experience with them.

Haven't seen that one either...maybe I'm just imagining things. I was thinking it was some kind of romantic comedy.

How To Choose a Coconut


There’s nothing worse than going to all the work of opening a coconut, just to discover the meat is rancid. Here are a few tips to help you choose a good coconut at the supermarket.

Look the coconut over carefully. Do not pick one that has any leakage out of the three black eyes at the top.

Pick up the coconut with one hand. It should be fairly heavy for its size.

Heft the coconut up and down with your hand to see if you can feel the milk sloshing around.

Compare coconuts for differences in weight and amount of milk.

If possible, try to find one that has been scored around the middle - this will make it easier to open.

Tips:

Sometimes coconuts can carry misleading labels suggesting all you need to do is pierce the three eyes at the top. You always need to process the meat to get the milk.

My question is a bit morbid, so I apologize in advance:

When someone is cremated instead of being buried, do they still have a funeral? a viewing/wake? or do they just have a memorial service?

For some reason this question popped into my head late last night while trying to fall asleep. I was half tempted to get out of bed to post the question here, but decided it could wait til morning. So here I am. My mother has expressed to me her wishes to be cremated upon death, not that she's dying, I just want to know how that all works. I'm Catholic and have only known of viewings, funeral masses, and burials. Thanks for your help, and again apologize for being a bit morbid.

It depends on the wishes of the family. You can "rent" a casket to use for viewing and a funeral before the actual cremation. Funeral homes have caskets just for the purpose. Most people choose a memorial service, though.

it's VERY expensive to do a viewing if you're going to be cremated. because that encompasses embalming for the viewing. most people are thinking of the cost. and let met tell you, those funeral homes love to sock it to you for each and every little item!
