  Lol when it was discussed with the funeral home folks (who gave us the shovel to dig with - left it leaning against the back door of the funeral home the morning of) they just said to let them know when we were done so they could document what was left there for the records.

  Yes. This happened in a very, very rural area lol.

  My mom used to do arts and crafts things with gourds. When she passed there were easily over a dozen laying around the house plus a giant one she had started prepping, but never finished.

  She was cremated, and the plans were to bury her in the plot she already had next to my dad. State or county requirements, however, that works, allowed us to be the ones to dig the hole to actually place her urn in the ground. When the time came, her five children, their spouses and many grandchildren gathered to dig a great big hole in the ground. We ended up taking the big gourd that she had been working on and placed it in the ground, then as we filled that with dirt we placed her urn inside the gourd. In the end everyone took shovelfuls and handfuls of earth and covered her up.

  I can never look at a gourd without thinking of my mom.

  You mean like during the COVID lockdown? It was amazing. I wish people learned more lessons from that time.

  I work in hospice, traveling to patients homes. I’d be more than happy to work from home, but the logistics of getting dying bed ridden people to travel to me has been tricky.

  Your heart pushes water and nutrients out to the extremities and then the lymph system returns excess water and waste so that the liver and kidneys can filter it while making the cycle again. When circulation is poor or the heart is weak or other complications, the body has a hard time returning some of that fluid back into circulation to where the body can get rid of it naturally. This is the result. It can just sit there leading to skin breakdown, or even infection.

  It’s not supposed to be dark yellow, so I’m guessing better hydrated.

  Our bodies aren’t 100% efficient when it comes to nutrient absorption anyway, so considering there’s a number of other factors at play, it’s probably making minimal difference.

  When we eat, the food added to our stomachs signals the large intestine (colon) to get a move on and make room for incoming food. Caffeine can help stimulate this response, but since most nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine, we’re not really losing anything of value. There is some absorption in the colon, but that’s mostly water being removed so we can have formed stools instead of chronic diarrhea.
