FNXIAO89 - People like Y don;t belong in the woods. They're bound to bring trouble to you. In the woods, it's not good to say too many things.

I agree! One time we went hiking up in the mountains and talked a bit too much and whatever it was..sent us packing down the mountain. We never went back.

I've never heard of such thing...hum. Do they actually use a real bone piece for this practice?

yes. but i can't remember what piece of bone. the txiv qeej plays his song and when he walks out, he kicks it to knock it over and then the casket follows.

My hsb's family practice the kicking the bone by the txiv qeej at the funeral door before the deceased leaves the funeral home for burial. Can someone explain this as I've only seen this once. Thanks.

Funeral Rituals & Customs / Re: Taking Out Txiv Xaiv of Funeral session

« on: July 15, 2011, 08:34:25 AM »

Some family no longer bow when they do this. I went to a funeral once where they sat in chairs and you couldn't tell who was the xyob cuab or who wasn't and b/c they sat in chairs, they were busy talking among themselves. I didn't like that at all! One of my hsb's uncle is opting out the txiv xaiv part when he passes. He states that his children don't understand it and that he is not going to give the final blessing b/c ua neeg nyob lawm tsis mloog nwb lus.

lelia.. yea..my hsb says that his company provides the wireless card you mentioned bc he needs the net whereever he goes on his laptop.

poster, i talked to my hsb and it's not restricted. he talked to a friend in IT and he said that they only provide him with one b/c it's needed for his job.

We don't really do anything besides regular net browsing and watching netflix.

That's the thing I am confuse about. He buys the laptop using their discount so basically its his but he uses their server for internet connection at home. I am figuring that since its his comp.. it should be ok and its not on company time ad I use it at home and on the road as well.

Yes we are allow to use his laptop. usually in the past, after a 2yr run, he gets a new one and we keep the old one around the house.
