Does it matter? Are you imagining a "viewing" (where people get to look at you as you lie in a casket) as part of your funeral?

[jon-nyc]

It’s pretty standard in Catholic funerals from what I understand.

[Tom-K]

It doesn't matter and it's not Catholic. I just don't want to wear contacts with spikes in them.

I love watching these awards. I want one of each.

Casu marzu, the illegal cheese from Sicily. Sounds yummy.

ew. But it's traditionally served with Cannonau, so maybe Nobody's Sock will have some.

NS needs to report back on this one!

[jon-nyc]

Want.

[Mik]

Yes. I buy the greenest possible bananas. I prefer them just a little underripe. Throw away far too many.

[taiwan_girl]

Old ripe ones are good for banana bread.

[AndyD]

Interesting idea but like Mik we buy unripe as prefer them firm, and they contain less sugar.
If over ripened to any extent MrsA makes a mean banana cake

In fairness, conservatives should appreciate that in principle.

They must be confident about the water level not changing very much.

• PROtest/proTEST

I dont get this one. What are the two different words?

[jon-nyc]

I went to a protest.

He’s going to protest the ticket.

Similar, one is a noun the other a verb.
