    I have seen slate crosses that could easily break off that way.
    My highest heart rate moment was in a small cemetery in the mountains of Northern California. I stepped, and my leg went straight down well over a foot. Hearing cracks that I thought were the bones in my leg, but more likely the wood of an old coffin. Not all graves are six feet under.
    This is such a good channel. Thank you.

    I'm a retired nurse. I can tell you with absolute certainty that addiction is a disease, not a choice. (That is not to say that addicts are not responsible fo4 the choices they make. They are.) I hope that within my lifetime, we see a better understanding of addiction and better treatments for those who suffer from it.

      Absolutely true. Not one person goes into things saying oh i know, I’m gonna become an addict and ruin my life. Personally I ended up addicted to painkillers after a surgery that went wrong and the more my tolerance increased, the higher dose I needed to cope with pain. After a few years I realised that this pain will never go away and so I need to learn to live with it since it’s still there even with the painkillers and i have their side effects on top. I would lower my dose, try to cope with the increased pain for about 3-4 weeks until my mind could deal with that level and then reduce again. It look about 14 months but I was really proud of myself to get rid of the fentanyl patches and morphine tablets. I find it more disturbing that I was the one who suggested it rather than the doctor saying to do it. It’s very easy for people to end up just increasing the amounts they need to take and then they either can’t afford it (in America - mine are barely anything price wise here) or the doctor cuts them off and they turn to heroin or something to deal with it. None of those people would have thought they would become addicts from taking something prescribed for a legitimate reason. Also studies suggest that some people are more prone to addiction than others but not sure if that is true or not.

      Congratulations on being in recovery! I am very happy for you.
      While research points to a genetic role in some addiction, it can happen to anyone.
      Pain is unpleasant. It is not by itself a bad thing. If we were not able to experience pain, our kidneys would be stolen while we slept. Pain is a communication process. It alerts us to parts of our body that need attention. Our goal should not be to totally eliminate pain. We need to listen to what it's telling us and respond appropriately. If the message is "your leg is broken" we need to get it set and we might benefit from pain medication for a short time while we heal. If the message is "you have arthritis and this is as good as it's going to get" we need to find other ways to deal with the pain and save the pills for that miserable rainy day in November.
      It sucks that you had to learn that the hard way. It's wonderful that you learned. Many never do.

    The dead don't judge you for your (perceived) failings. Maybe that's what the man needs most right now, peace. I'd suggest showing him how to clean the stones without damage and maybe him helping would improve his self esteem/self worth. I've never fought with addiction, but I have long fought depression and feelings of failure, so I may be projecting.

    Taking a moment to realize that you are doing your "calling", you are also available to cross paths with this gentleman. You are and will be a blessing to him. You will be able to share your testimony of being addicted and also how you were able to break free of it. I haven't listened yet to the whole video, but i have to wonder if he is visiting a past loved one or are too far from his loved one and feels he can connect with them being in a sacred place. Your test is now your testimony. The dact that you can relate to him and what he us going through is no coincidence. God bless you!

    Your piece of slate almost looks like a roof shingle. They're usually of varying widths and thinner at one end so it can slide under the one above it. I wonder if someone put something else there - a beloved pet, perhaps? - and they just put a shingle in to mark the spot. It's interesting, at the very least. Hope the gentleman who spends time watching your work chooses to avail himself of one of the programs. But at least you've extended hand in friendship. I would think that's quite significant to him. Your parents and family must be so very proud of who you turned out to be, Wade! 💚🪴💚

    Another fun day in the cemetery; thanks. Regarding bones, I've found them but we have ground squirrels that dig very deep holes. Once we had to get a couple of volunteers to set up an archeological sieve and go through all the dirt the squirrels had brought to the surface so as to try and recover all the bone fragments possible. The sexton had to get very creative to reduce the squirrel population (e.g. put a plastic pipe on the end of the truck tail pipe and pump exhaust into the holes). It happens.

      Actually, a cheaper but just as good digger as the Lesche is a Japanese hori-hori, which is used for gardening. We use them for our metal detecting. It’s very strong and well built and great on smaller tree roots because it has a serrated edge on one side and sharp plain edge for turf cutting on the other. Can be found at many garden centers or on Amazon for about $25.

    Have a "grave dowser" teach you how to locate graves, This can be a great help. As a geologist I can tell you it is NOT BS as what really is involved is that the rods amplify slight muscle responses to changes in local magnetic fields. Iron in The first few feet of soil is leached out by thousands of years of rain Digging graves bring up deeper soil and a detectable change in magnetic effects over the hole.--- Indeed Archeologists use this to find graves and post holes , using a magnetometer. The Dowsing rods are sensitive enough to do this

      @@Outnumberedbykidsandcats I feel like it's a generational thing now these days as far as upkeep. The greatest generation are either all gone, or about to be. Boomers are getting old too. In their late 60s and 70s. I just never see young people taking care of the cemeteries. It's almost like people just done care. As long as they have fast food and Netflix that's all that matters. Not too many people these days care about history. Look around, the past 5 years or more we've purposely been removing it. Or trying to tuck the parts of history we don't like away in the corner. I work in a school and history is not a big subject, and what little they do teach is well...very one sided.

It’s something that they are very big on over there in a way that we don’t seem to have here do we? I have never heard anyone say anything to anyone about being a soldier and i live pretty much in the heart of the British Army (it’s on our town sign lol). Even my 13 and 15 year olds are in cadets and never get a second glance when they’re in full uniform.

    • @ruadhscottygirl2480
      @ruadhscottygirl2480 4 місяці тому

      Usually you just start with water and a soft brush. Clean gently. On the meeting edge (the edge where two broken edges meet), it’s permissible to use a wire brush, but ONLY there, never on any other part of the stone. If there’s stubborn stains or lichen you can progress to the D2. I personally use it as per the label. I don’t weaken the solution because by that time after the water cleaning, you now will need greater help and regular D2 will supply that. But this is how I do it. I don’t see that Millennial does any different than I do, but I haven’t watched all his episodes yet. 🌼

      Its unusual for bones to make their way out of a coffin and up 6 feet in a cemetery. Crime scenes have been found in cemetariers, they can be used as dump sites for crimes, and so every instance of disinterred bones should be evaluated by local authority, whether that is a sextant, coroner, or law enforcement. Its not click bait.

      Really? You can’t figure out why your comment is incredibly dumb? Bodies are buried 6 foot down so you absolutely shouldn’t be finding bones just below the surface if it was a body buried there in a legal way. If he was digging down 6 feet then of course you would find tons of bones. It hurts when I read comments from people who don’t bother to ever engage their brains before commenting. If you had watched any of this guys videos then you would see that what he does is done because he has a passion for protecting history and ensuring that the stones are repaired to look as they would have traditionally. Instead you read a title, don’t bother to watch the video (or if you did watch it then you’re even denser than I thought for not realising how shallow the bones are) and then comment that someone does videos for views. 😂
