When a reporter mentions a " dead body" - really ? no s :cuss: sherlock... Body will work just fine.
Or just a corpse.
I got Married because I was sick and tired of finishing my own sentences.
That's worked out great for me!

Cadaver? Remains? If one wants to use slang; stiff. Carcass would not indicate human or otherwise.

I haven't been paying much attention to sports (never do) - is something going on with the Jays? I have seen a few memes and was wondering . . . :135:

I don't know, but I know that the Maple Leafs have made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs for the first time in 19 years. A true miracle. And people say there is not God. Well, explain that miracle!

Got a family member visiting who's a Jays fan, so to be polite the TV is on, way too much.

Someone mentioned estate planning.
Ever heard of Swedish Death Cleaning? A bit of an morbid description, but it's all about foresight.

Swedish death cleaning is a method of organizing and decluttering your home before you die to lessen the burden of your loved ones after you've passed. Usually older people or those battling a terminal illness partake in Swedish death cleaning.

It's not a bad idea, really. Knowing some folks who are having a heck of a time going through all the clutter. It's physically demanding, and can be emotionally draining.

Last year when we sold we did some major purging. It was unbelievable how much junk we had accumulated over the years.
Garbage dump, recycling, garage sales, donations, friends, family, we shared it around. Some was easy to get rid off, some difficult.

Seems that decluttering happens when people move into retirement communities then again into LTC. Those families are the lucky ones.
Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?
