... the temperature was @ 39C

I know I'm freezing my butt off here in Ohio.

Could someone please direct me to the newest TLPTPW? I seem to have misplaced it.

Ive seen every car I have owned the last 20 years.


Still parked in your front yard? I had neighbours like that out west.

Google Earth has a time function so you can see how a location changes over time.

Now that one I've got to look up!

So, why is it that the more hair you loose on top of your head manages to grow extra in your nose, and your eyebrows?

Thanks.
Now I need to put coffee, chocolate and valerian drops on my shopping list.

Didn't you mean Valium?

Good evening Dune:) I'm happy for Uli, even if I don't know why...

It's that happy time of the year that all of us in the US get to pay our taxes. And that's what Uli does for a living.

So while the rest of us are bumming about this, at least Uli's happy!

Meanwhile I'm winning till another winner comes along!

I just got communication from her through Facebook, and apparently things seem to be coming together. They've set up some kind of donations from friends and family, so things are looking up.

She went to look at the link that I sent her to here, but found out that SETI was down for maintenance. I'm just so used to it, I don't even pay any attention anymore.

But I just told her that we were back up and running, and as long as the rubber bands hold together she might just see 'em.

She might even say something of thanks for your help. I do know she's hurting right now, and when she gets around to it, she'll probably say something.

Thank you all for your posts. There's a lot of good thoughts in here. And it's good that we can come together like this.

Good afternoon Julie and the rest of SETIans!

Just winning and getting a day in part time at work! Retired isn't always money-friendly. Now that Uli is happy, the rest of us are sad.

What state does she live in?

I'm not sure Blurf! (I feel silly about that), but I believe she's living in Ohio.

I sent her a link to this thread, so she might just see these questions and be able to answer 'em via email, and then I'll be able to update it. Kinda' a long way around, but what're you going to do?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Here in Stockton, someone usually contacts the local newspaper and then people start to help out. Otherwise the body would either sit in the morgue or be creamated and stored, I am not sure which.
I would call the City Clerk and ask.


Thanks Uli! That's a thought, and a good one. I also mentioned going to a funeral home, and asking them, but she's afraid they might just take advantage of the situation and pump 'em for money they don't have. So I'm going to go ahead and go to a funeral home up the street and explain that I'm asking for a friend. Once they find out they aren't getting any money from me, they should be able to give me some good intel.

I have a friend of myself, and my wife. The friend is a girl that my wife knew since school together.

Well, this friend has a cousin who died suddenly yesterday. I don't know much about what happened, but there's more pressing matters at hand.

The girl's family is broke, and doesn't have the money to bury their own child (or mother). It's pretty sad stuff, but I'm wondering if anyone here knows about any organizations that can help with such a matter.

All I could think of was the church, but I'm not even sure if she's a member of a church. I did mention the church to her, but she hasn't gotten back in touch with me at this point. So I'm going to put this question to our SETIans. Can anyone here think of anything? Obviously, this is a US thing, so Great Britain might have one agency, Canada might have another, and Germany might be another agency. But all might have a common denominator.
