page turner for reference to article
Entry: What to do when you fail to survive death - A85640240
Author: frleon - U14872593

Link added. Thanks, Shagbark, but I know how to handle GuideML.

Another little thing you can do is to make your title and headers, conform to the convention where capital letters are used for all the words apart from minor ones such as to, it, and for and suchlike.

eg What to Do When you Fail to Survive Death.




This is coming along very nicely frleon. Some authors just fade away. . .

As you may have guessed from looking at my colons, capital letters in English are quite a challenge for me. In Germany all nouns and names begin with capitals, so there is no difference whether they stand in headers. And we regard the part after a colon as full sentence. I'm always confused by headers with these little words...

One more thing - hydrolosis is by no means the only ecological option just google "green burial" and you will see
One article said
A range of burial options are considered green. People can forgo embalming or request nontoxic embalming fluid; buy a biodegradable container made from sustainable willow, wicker or bamboo, or even order up a simple shroud. The burial can take place on “natural burial grounds” where people are buried without markers on protected wildlife preserves. There’s even a company that incorporates cremated remains into a “reef ball” that provides habitat for fish.
What they fail to mention is these may not be legal in all localities.
Michigan where I live has tighter standards than most places.

Colons and semicolons are a challenge for me too. I must have been looking out of the window the day they taught them to us - or the reasons for using them have been lost to me in the mists of time.

Another member here who does wonderful work on correcting mistakes in Editorial Feedback -Rudest Elf- gave me this link which is quite helpful.

Great site!

Great entry! Mind you, I'm not sure I like the idea of being reduced to eco-gunk.

Somebody posted a comment about Jeremy Bentham's famed 'afterlife', but I was reminded of the notorious case of the Plymothian tramp Diogenes:

that newspaper article would make a great link.

Yes, and I know exactly where to include it.
