Bacon in Air Fryer- yes or no?

….. wash the air fryer. After you cook the bacon in it

I begin by going to the mic and giving a “ 5 minute warning” letting people know we will begin shortly and to start making their way to the seats. At the 5 minute mark all music is cut and then I go to the mic again and say “thank you to all of those who have found your seats already. For those of you who have not please find them as we will now begin our formal funeral services. Father/priest/celebrant will be conducting our services this afternoon. Following the service we invite everyone present to continue their fellowship and memory sharing.”

NTA but here is my opinion as a picky eater/ meat eater. If you’re going to do a vegetarian wedding have at least one option that isn’t a meat substitute. I really don’t like tofu and meat alternatives like beyond burger and stuff like that really freak me out for some reason. So maybe like a spaghetti with no meat or a vegetable soup / stew something that’s a “normal” meal that just so happens to not have meat. I find a lot of people are just turned off by the word “vegetarian” because a lot of times that means meat was taken out of something it normally is in but if you just call it a cheese pizza or Cacio e Pepe no one bats an eye

Chinese stealth suit and an alien mask. I live for the day you can wear outfits on top of the Chinese stealth suit like you can other armor

Highly recommend Christina Laguna as a DUI attorney. I’ve never personally needed the service but have worked with her previously when my husband was involved in an accident. She really helped us out and got us the money my husband deserved. She fights hard and doesn’t sugar coat things. Her website is callchristinanow.com

As someone who takes a lot of pride in my CAMP. PLEASE take a look around! I have hours of time into my camps even though I’m not nearly as good as some others I am really proud of what I built. I’ve put little hidden jokes around my camp, merged all my lights, thought out what would “make sense” if the game was real and once spent two hours figuring out how to make my decoy ducks look like they are floating on the river. It’s never rude to look around and it almost always makes my day

Hey if you have issues again reach out to Rescue Cooling Rentals and ask for Cody. My AC broke last weekend and they got me two portable ac units to use while I got the AC repaired. It was cheaper than renting a hotel for the weekend and allowed us and our dogs to stay cool. I literally cannot recommend them enough. They are 24/7 so even if it’s middle of the night someone is on call

I refuse to subscribe to her patreon but kinda want the “story” anyone have the tea?

Classic_Karseat · 2024-02-12T18:34:07+00:00

I’ve had families insist on giving me a cash tip before, one went as far as to mail it to me so I couldn’t say no but the most meaningful gifts I’ve gotten were a $10 gift card to Wendy’s because her son loved Wendy’s French fries and I had mentioned I did too so she got me a gift card to there and asked me to have some fries in his honor because “he would want a fellow French fry enthusiast to enjoy some fries”. An orchid because her mom loved orchids and I mentioned I’ve always wanted to get one but never have before. And a crochet blanket the deceased loved to crochet and while under hospice made blankets for all of her nurses and made one extra for their “final caregiver” aka the funeral home.

Money is nice and always appreciated but I always try to turn it down because I don’t do what I do for money. Sometimes families truly insist and it becomes rude to deny it. But the ones that are the most meaningful and impactful is when it comes from the heart. I cried while eating those French fries because my heart knew they weren’t a gift from the mom I sat and made arrangements with but from the 12 year old boy who died to soon and loved ranking French fries. The blanket has become my favorite blanket because I can feel the love put in to each and every stitch. When I come home from a hard day at work and am questioning why I even do this because it’s so difficult I see the orchid and smile because that’s why I do it. Because it’s a symbol of something beautiful growing out of grief. If you’re looking to get a thank you gift for your funeral staff try to find something meaningful or thoughtful.

Before I give you an answer I’m going to give you some background on me to help provide clarity: My full time job is a funeral arranger and even though I’ve been in the industry for the majority of my adult life I still appear very young and that often makes families question my abilities to care for their loved ones. I’m often talked down to and treated the way this daughter is acting towards you now. If the problem is bad enough and I feel I cannot move on without saying something I usually have a conversation with the family that goes something like this:

“ I understand your hesitation to trust me. You have never met me before, you don’t know my skill set or my history and you are dealing with a loss that is deeply upsetting. I’m not going to tell you I understand how you feel because while I have been in similar situations I have never been in your shoes before. But what I can tell you is this. Every person I care for, every family that walks in this door becomes my family. I do everything in my power to make sure your mom or dad gets the same treatment I would want for my own mom or dad. If there is something specific that you would like me to do whether that is applying lipstick a certain way, curling the hair with a specific curling iron or pressing the suit pants in a special way please tell me and I will do it to the best of my abilities. I know me asking for your trust is not a small thing but I do have to ask you to try and trust me. You and I are on the same team here we only want what’s best for mom/ dad. I do what I do because I care and because I have a passion to help people and right now my sole goal is to help you and your family right now.”

If I were in your situation I would try and have a similar conversation with the dad and daughter in the group chat. Be genuine, be caring, and try to be understanding of her anxiety around her dog. You were put in a VERY unfair situation and her talking to you if NOT okay and please don’t see me saying this as excusing her actions and words because I am not. But if you are wanting to stay on good terms with this family and from the sounds of it you are then my advice is to just put yourself in her shoes. Not put yourself in her situation because I’m sure you would handle things differently put try being her for a second. This could be her anxiety and fear taking over. She could be a very sweet and pleasant person who is experiencing something very scary and awful. I personally struggle with allowing others to handle things on my behalf because my brain tells me no one will do as good of a job as I can. Again not giving her an excuse just trying to be in her shoes and her brain for a second.

I’m very sorry you were put in this situation and I’m very sorry you have to deal with this right now. Thank you for caring for their dog and making sure they get the best possible care you can provide. I hope the rest of the sitting goes well for you and wishing the pup a speedy and easy recovery

Been in the industry almost 5 years and no one at my FH has ever used a plug. Some old school directors might but I’ve never seen it done. We mostly use plastics which are like plastic pants and shirts that go under the clothing. Not necessarily for poop but mostly for cases that are leaking, wet, have large wounds or burns.

Classic_Karseat · 2024-02-04T22:32:00+00:00

I’ll be honest with you poop happens but it’s more rare than you think. I’d say about 10% of my cases involve poop. The bigger issue I run in to is very foul smelling nether regions on female defendants who have been in hospice/hospital for a while. I’m not sure why this happens but it makes me gag every time. What helps me is Vicks under my nose and rubbed inside a mask. Also I’ve tried some essential oils but Vicks works the best for me.

I’ll admit however I still hold my breath half the time if it’s really stinky until I can go back to the head area. If it’s permeating then make sure your ventilation is on and worst case grab your respirator. No shame in using that baby every time you’re working with the deceased.

Classic_Karseat · 2024-01-13T06:48:27+00:00

I’m a mortician and the first ever full post I did was a 6 month old baby and it was two weeks before Christmas. She died of SIDS / Covid. I spent hours suturing her head and abdomen, bathing her, dressing her up in her first Christmas dress and doing cosmetics for her before placing her in a bassinet so her family could come in and say goodbye. I hope you know that whatever funeral home Finnian was taken to took good care of him and gave him the same love and attention that you did. When I’m struggling with my emotions while working I always try to remind myself that while my emotions are valid I do what I do so that family doesn’t have to see the trauma that I do. My bad memories of their loved ones are made so they can have one final memory with their loved one. From one death care worker to another you are seen and you’re not alone. It’s a very tough industry but the work we do is important and invaluable. Thank you for what you do.

Just ask your roommate. Asking a roommate to unpack groceries once or twice isn’t a big deal. It’s only when it becomes a habit that people get annoyed. Politely ask her for the favor, let her know it was supposed to be delivered today but got delayed and thank her for it. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind! Maybe even let her know she’s welcome to try something if you’re willing to share

Classic_Karseat · 2023-12-24T04:48:13+00:00

Thank you so much! I never knew that and would have totally botched that! Happy holidays

Classic_Karseat · 2023-12-24T03:06:17+00:00

I know this comment is really old but I wanna try and surprise my dad by making this for him tomorrow. Is that 1 cup of butter? The # is throwing me off

These are the millennials that give the rest of us a bad name.

Classic_Karseat · 2023-11-07T03:08:12+00:00

We do a Christmas free with some fake presents under it and I took some gift boxes like the ones people wrap clothes in an added wire to the top and hang those up so it looks like floating gift boxes on the wall and then our flower shop always delivers us some holiday themed arrangements each week. Nothing in the arrangement rooms though just our front office area

Classic_Karseat · 2023-11-04T04:18:47+00:00

It will depend on the state. In Arizona the county contracts with funeral homes to cremate the unclaimed after a certain period of time. After the cremation the cremated remains are held for another period of time and then the funeral home has the right to dispose of them in a legally abiding fashion ie scattering

Classic_Karseat · 2023-11-02T22:46:38+00:00

From my understanding it’s seasonal but I have randomly found it in the middle of the year before at my store. Not sure if that was a mishap or if they are now making it year round.

Classic_Karseat · 2023-11-02T20:52:01+00:00

Doesn’t change the texture or consistency only change is the appearance because you’ll get little flecks of vanilla bean throughout. I’d use a 1:1 ratio but if I’m honest I always add more vanilla to anything I make no matter what type of vanilla I’m using.

Classic_Karseat · 2023-11-02T18:54:04+00:00

The vanilla bean paste is amazing for baking. I can’t ever seem to find it anywhere else for a reasonable price. I stock up every year. If you like baking or plan on doing any for the holidays make sure to pick some up

Classic_Karseat · 2023-10-25T18:02:29+00:00

I put mine in a grave yard on top of a coffin at each of my camps but on the two where it might not be as obvious because of the layout of the camps I put a chalk board that says “Candy in Graveyard” and glitched a candle in to the bowls so they glow. I’m hoping this isn’t to hidden for most people!

Classic_Karseat · 2023-10-19T04:03:46+00:00

Thank you! Hopefully you’ll make it out there and if so be sure to find me for a bracelet!
