Did you know your ashes weigh the same as your birth weight?

Really, never knew that, that vase must have been pretty hefty then

say a prayer when you scatter LT, I know you want too

There is nothing there only only a pile of ash and bone, might aswell be chicken bones.

We hold on to the idea that it’s a person when it’s just a by product of death.

A few months back I was asked to dig a hole for a tree and the persons ashes was put in a box in the hole with lots of photos.

Two women crying their hearts out while I was doing it.

You didn't know it because it's not true.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

we will all be nothing more than a few ashes soon....


Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility.

We passed the school, where children strove
At recess, in the ring;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.

Or rather, he passed us;
The dews grew quivering and chill,
For only gossamer my gown,
My tippet only tulle.

We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound.

Since then 'tis centuries, and yet each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity.

i researched it and its pretty much true give or take a pound and height plays big as a feature. You may be bang on, you may be a pound out but in general its a truism more or less.

An interesting factoid!

it will be between 7 and 9 lbs in old money, there are very few babies born bigger

I guess then the weight of your ashes correlating to your birth weight will depend if you were full term. If a baby is born very prem weighing 1lb or whatever, I can't see your ashes only weighing that if you died at adulthood.

Not really something I want to be thinking about but interesting.

My niece was 11lb 3oz... and born naturally. And frankly I can't think of anyone I'd rather see go through that than my sister in law.

Yes I did.

And if you bend your leg backwards and look at your thigh and calf together at the knee joint it looks exactly the same as the persons bum crack.

It's probably your nieces head that has caused her to be the person you don't like..

Liv that post made my day..

You'll probably injure yourself trying, why would anyone be tempted to bend their leg backwards??

Apparently when the second one arrived she walked out, and had room to twirl a cane.

Spoiler:

My thanks to Stewie Griffin for that line.

I hope she don't catch this virus going round....we don't want another niece popping out unexpectedly during a sneezing fit.
