   I say it like Spanky McFarland… “for the love of Pete’s sake”.

   I believe the silver nitrate eyedrops were instituted during some chlamydia outbreak decades ago, that will blind newborns if their eyes get infected with it. I also believe they no longer use that but antibiotic drops. Read about it years ago, so your mileage may vary.

   Grew up in and worked in a funeral home.

   That smell is a combination of the body, embalming chemicals, and flowers. It generally doesn’t smell like that outside of “business” hours.

   I think a lot of people don’t think about this, but how often are you ever in the same room as a huge amount of fragrant flowers? Doesn’t really smell the same as when you just take a whiff of a single bouquet… it’s cloying and seems to penetrate everything. Add in a decomposing body full of chemicals (they are still decomposing, just at a far slower rate) and voila! That creepy smell.

   Autopsy cases generally didn’t bother me smell-wise, it was the seriously decomposed ones and even worse, the burn cases. The hottest shower in the world doesn’t get that smell off of you.

   They’re out every day near where I work. Having to clean up the same stretches of street and little parks they just cleaned up the day before because the people living there and driving by somehow need to litter constantly.

   Well said. I just had to do that on my dog a few weeks ago and it didn’t work. Maybe I’m just being sensitive, but it wasn’t really necessary either way.

   When I lived in Seattle, my company did a happy hour boat tour of Lake Washington via Lake Union, as a lot of us had just moved from other parts of the country to work there. We passed by the floating house in that movie. The owner came out the front door, so I yelled “Hey! Tom Hanks was in your house!” We poo-pooed me roundly.

   Wash it out with bubble gum, and send it to the Navy!

    My brother’s neighborhood had a Wii bowling league, they played at a different house every other weekend. I subbed quite often, it was a lot of fun.
