Hoping he will be made to pay.....

After the criminal case comes the civil case.
Mrs. Oulsen and daughter should and likely will sue Mr. Reeves for anything and everything he has and ever will have.

That won't be much and will bring no real satisfaction, but that needs to be done.

Beautiful! nt

It's a wonderful feeling when your child(ren) attain these life-changing events

You know you've completed that part of your life's work, and that achievement can never be taken away from that child.
Congratulations to you and to your son.

Thanks to all for responses - very helpful.

Obviously, it's a big subject - may be more than I want to go into at this time.

I'm not as aware as many re various Jewish practices. -
I think I learned more from "Seinfeld" than I knew otherwise. - Not really, but Judaism is very deep and complex.

Just as I'm aware many here and elsewhere do not know much re Roman Catholicism, there's surely at least as large a gap re knowledge of Judaism.

Was there baptism before John the Baptist?

Correct me if I don't have it correct:
John the Baptist was baptizing people before he baptized Jesus, IIRC.
Did other Jews practice baptism?
What became of the persons John baptized?

I'm presuming they were Jews. Immediately after their baptism, were they any different, religiously, than other Jews of their time?

Death notice or obituary?

This is what I understand, though there may be differences in different places, depending on local custom:

A death notice is usually paid for, depending on the number of lines, in a special section of the newspaper.
I have seen instances where the death notice was only a line or two, referring the reader to the funeral homes' site, where more lengthy and detailed substance is provided, presumably included as part of the service provided by the funeral home.

An obituary is provided by the newspaper, without charge, as a news or editorial feature. It may be written by the deceased's family or by a newspaper employee. It may be on the front page or in a section near the death notices.

It may be that the family of the persons you were seeking chose not to have either or did not know the procedures for asking or filing for these. Or they could have been too bereft to pursue it.

In my own experience, the funeral home took the necessary information re relatives and arrangements and placed the death notices. I wrote the obituaries for several in my family and provided it to the newspaper, with my contact information attached. Apparently the newspaper checks with the funeral director (to make sure that the individual has indeed died), called me to verify the information and either printed it as given or rearranged or cut it to suit their space, etc. One asked my questions re the deceased and composed wording and headline that would not have been my choice - a little over the top- but that's the way it worked.

Re getting used to CPAP: no problem for me

I guess I was so grateful to be getting an uninterrupted night's rest that I gave no thought to the contraption over my head & nose.
Haven't been a night without it since.
Only posting this so that others would not be discouraged from using CPAP when indicated.

What is her platform? nt

Notice all those red states out West?

The ones that seem to indicate that a whole bunch of the country is voting red?
But there's hardly anyone there, in reality.

Not many in the Sahara desert, either.
