Not the best way to start your day

Of all the ways I can think of to start my shift, one of the worst would be to get stuck in an elevator for 30 some-odd minutes wondering if anyone can hear me or if anyone knows I’m there. Stuck.

Sisters keep mother’s body in fridge for ten years – and visit her every weekend

Ok, this story cannot possibly be true, can it? Wow. Some people are all kinds of crazy.

The body of the widow has been kept refrigerated on the premises on the instructions of her two daughters and is brought into the funeral parlour’s chapel of rest each weekend for the visits.

When she died in 1997, the body was preserved with formaldehyde but it has deteriorated to such an extent that it is largely skeletal with some skin remaining on the upper half and head.
