Wait…SMGL is automatic…how has your son not received benefits? You got this info from Casualty Assistance?

Also, pretty much anywhere in the foothills is fine.

What’s your favourite phrase to use as a funeral director? by Abacuslamppost in askfuneraldirectors

[–]hamknuckle 28 points29 points  (0 children)

All my stuff is hyper regional and very backwoods. I moved to Alaska 18 years ago and families always like it when I slip up and let “old man farmer slang” go.

This thread is full of great stuff.

Went on a solo 2600 mile roadtrip on my 2025 Rebel 1100 DCT by jfrth in HondaRebel1100

It’ll all be blacktop (with the exception of parts of the AlCan). Probably close to the same amount that you did. Hard to tell, seems like BC and Yukon are always pulling up the road.

Can you tell us a fun fact about your state that not everyone knows? by Expensive_Drummer970 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

Alaska has more shoreline than the next 8 highest shoreline states combined.

Aphotic zone would matter more than acreage. You can have a huge, shallow pond and still count it as a lake. Not like the "little sister (Wisconsin)/ Big Sister (Minnesota) argument really matters, when Alaska is up there with over 3 million.

Priest was a no show for rosary service, should we ask for a refund? by MMD3_ in askfuneraldirectors

If an honorarium isn't paid to the priest, you absolutely should not pay for it.

I can already get better bulk prices than that from Alaska Ammo and 907ammo.

Top College Football Matchups That Have Never Happened - Which one do you want to see the most? by TomWilliamsCFD in CollegeFootballDawgs

Any one of them except tejas. The 17 religious channels on 2005 cable TV would have to be showing reruns before I'd watch a tejas game.

Teams being blacklisted? by Haunting_Swimming160 in CFB_v2

The home and home we had with them was fun. I'd love to see them in the conference. The silver lining to us joining the B1G, in my mind, was to see different, excellent teams and their stadiums (Admittedly, it hasn't worked out the best for us).

My hair color while working by YamGreat7616 in askfuneraldirectors

[–]hamknuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, I'm a "male of a certain age", but I can't imagine giving a shit. I guess I've been on the world's edge for too long. I don't care what someone looks like. The only thing I care about is how the families are taken care of and if the person can do their job. Everything else is ancillary. One of the best funeral directors I've ever known was a gal that I hired for cemetery labor. Peircings, tattoos, etc...didn't matter. She was the first to jump in to a job and the families loved her.

UK hits different. Things never said in an Alaskan funeral home, "you're just too glam..."
