Sleeping Beauties: The Victorians and Post-Mortem Photography
I think they're very sweet, although the ones with open eyes are a bit strange. I never thought about people doing this, but it would make sense,.

Sleeping Beauties: The Victorians and Post-Mortem Photography
I don't think that I could pose with a dead loved one. Finding the time to have a living photo would probably become a priority if photographers were rare. But I do respect the Victorians and how they dealt directly with death. Thank you for the ...

Sleeping Beauties: The Victorians and Post-Mortem Photography
Shonna - My thoughts are that we're so separated from death in the 21st century, that it adds a layer of weirdness automatically. But I don't think it should be taboo. Fascinating for sure.

Sleeping Beauties: The Victorians and Post-Mortem Photography
I'd really support that charity. I've just looked at their site and the photography there is stunning. I'm glad that photographers like this are prepared to do such work in heart-breaking circumstances.
I think that half of the 'creepiness' ...

I've always been fascinated by these sorts of photos and keepsakes. Never quite sure what to think of them, but fascinated for sure.

Actually there is even now a charity dedicated to give parents this kind of keepsake, it is called "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" (https://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/) SY

Why I Chose Kobo Over Kindle
Actually it is still not right, you can't lose a registered trademark simply because it became a generic word. Examples: 'to google' is now a generic verb / recognized verb, but Google still is a trademark. What you think of are trademarks based ...

Why I Chose Kobo Over Kindle
I have a Nook and I'm happy with it. The only problem is that every time I go to the B&N website to download a book they tell me I don't have a Kindle, and I have to call the company up. I'm really PO'ed about it right now and have been thinking ...

Why I Chose Kobo Over Kindle
Oh wow! I didn't realize that Aspirin was still a brand name in some parts of the world. *checks the list again* The majority of the world, in fact. I'll alter that accordingly.

Chinese Love Symbol Christmas Gifts
So you're saying this character for love devised by Mozi combines the characters for heart, accept, feel, and perceive? That's a neat idea :-) I've seen this symbol on necklace pendants.

Why I Chose Kobo Over Kindle
You might want to check the facts on this paragraph "If the brand crosses the line into describing a product in general, then it loses its trademark protection. Such generic words as aspirin, kerosene and thermos started life as brand names. But ...

Camping in a Retro Travel Trailer
Maybe we can travel together! But of course the animals would come. Half the folks in this park have dogs and half of those have more than one! I can't wait to get my old tin can all painted up!
