Being Dead Is No Excuse: The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect FuneralFolks in the Delta have a strong sense of community, and being dead is no impediment to belonging to it. Down South, they don't forget you when you've up and died in fact, they visit you more often. But there are quintessential rules and rituals for kicking the bucket tastefully. Having a flawless funeral is one of them. In this deliciously entertaining slice of Southern life (and death), inveterate hostess Gayden Metcalfe explains everything you need

Folks in the Delta have a strong sense of community, and being dead is no impediment to belonging to it. Down South, they don't forget you when you've up and died--in fact, they visit you more often. But there are quintessential rules and rituals for kicking the bucket tastefully. Having a flawless funeral is one of them.

In this deliciously entertaining slice of Southern life (and death), inveterate hostess Gayden Metcalfe explains everything you need to know to host an authentic Southern funeral. Can you be properly buried without tomato aspic? Who prepares tastier funeral fare, the Episcopal ladies or the Methodist ladies? And what does one do when a family gets three sheets to the wind and eats the entire feast the night before a funeral?

Each chapter includes a delicious, tried-and-true Southern recipe, critical if you plan to die tastefully any time soon. Pickled Shrimp, Aunt Hebe's Coconut Cake, and the ubiquitous Bing Cherry Salad with Coca-Cola are among the many dishes guaranteed to make the next funeral the most satisfying one yet.

Even if you've never been south of Rochester, this book will charm, it will entertain, and it will give you all the ingredients required for the perfect Southern send-off.

Good little kit. I put it by my spare and it fits perfectly. It’s a solid and versatile kit that’s a must to have in your auto. No leaks or stickiness as the material is good.

Complete and Affordable Tire Repair Kit – Reliable and Easy to Use
Size: 67pcs
I really like this tire repair kit — it has everything you need to fix a tire at a very affordable price. The set comes neatly organized in a durable case, making it easy to store and ready whenever you need it. The case is compact and portable, so you can easily keep it in your garage, truck, or shed without taking up much space. I’ve used it twice already to fix my garden tractor tire, and both repairs worked perfectly. The tools, including the T-handle and spiral probe, are sturdy and easy to use, even for tougher tires. The plugs themselves have excellent adhesion, hold air well, and seem very durable. Everything is included in one set, so you don’t need to buy anything extra to get the job done. Overall, a highly practical, reliable, and convenient kit that’s worth every penny.
