    interesting chair. 35 years ago I was in Florida and I met a man who gave me plans on how to use solar to keep my pool water in Virginia warm during the winter. God please technology.

    One of my favorite sites to browse. Little difficult to get around but once you figure it out it has enough information to keep you busy. It is what the ioT (internet of things ) is all about. Good luck.

    When a Muslim person dies, their body is honoured with four rituals.

    First, the body is washed — with soapy water, clean water, then camphor-infused water — then it is wrapped in a funeral shroud, perfumed with incense.

    "Then there's a communal prayer that's offered for the deceased, and that's when the whole community comes together," explains Ms Ardati..
    The fourth rite is that the deceased is buried, not in a coffin, but laid directly on earth.”

    this mightn’t be for all Muslims. Caskets are often seen in funeral processions on TV.

    If there going to lay them in the dirt at the end why don't they just skip all that cleaning stuff and save some water?

    Spose we do the same. Wash them, embalm them, dress them in nice clothes and Cheerio.

    Everybody's got to dress up sometimes. Just hope I clean up good when it's my time. You be safe down there. In self quarantine here listening to some country.

    I live in jeans and t-shirts. Dressing up is going to be a problem.
    We are in SAH mode here too. Listening to the iRoomba.
    You stay well too.

    Priorities.
    If a cricket played gets hit in the head there's little or no damage. Face it, it's a sport that the score can be in the thousands after 5 days and end in a draw .Something is not right with those boys.
    But if they're hit in the family jewels the sport could die off. Not just anyone can breed new cricket players
