We have two racks in our oven. Pizza goes on one of them and we put a sheet of aluminium foil underneath on the other rack. Catches everything. Easy disposal.

Much like my sacrificial cookie sheets, except that I clean them, instead of throwing them away.
But I donāt clean them very carefully, because I ONLY use them to catch crumbs, oozing pie filling, dripping cheese, etc. Big black splotch? No problem.
If I go to check the air pressure on my Reverse Osmosis tank, and water comes out - thatās bad, right?
What does it mean when they say a person ādied of causes incident to age?ā
What if that age was 59? Does that change your answer?
Edit: OK, the news article used the above language. The obituary in the same paper which they linked to right after that statement says ānatural causes.ā
It probably means they donāt know, but not murder or suicide or a drug overdose.
āNatural causesā drives me nuts. Cancer and heart attacks and stroke and influenza are all ānatural causesā.
A bullet to the brain killed him?
Naturally.
Reminds me of a Brian Reagan standup bit:
Psychic: Did anyone hereā¦lose a friend or family memberā¦? ā¦Or know someone who did? ā¦Or hear about something like this on television? YES YOU IN THE MEZZANINE. I was getting a strong signalā¦This person passed on recently?
Person in Audience: Twenty-five years ago
Psychic: THAT RECENTLY!? Then Iām gunna be extra sensitive. Iām getting an Mā¦The letter Mā¦
Person in Audience: His name was Beau Ziffer.
Psychic: MISTER!? BEAU ZIFFER!? He died of natural causes, yes?
Person in Audience: He was shot in the face with a bazooka
Psychic: SO NATURALLY HEāD BE DEAD.

Yeah, so why does it drive you nuts? In general, the first question is whether someone died due to human causes or ānaturalā causes. Deaths from auto accidents, murder, etc. just feel different from deaths from cancer or flu. At least, they do to me.
If someone died of a heart attack, just say they died of a heart attack. 
they might not always know. could have been a suspected heart attack. could have been he went to bed and was found in the AM dead - no autopsy for a person of a certain age, right? soā¦natural causes. maybe had a stroke or heart attack or choked on a pretzel, weāll never know. natural causes.
Ok, but if they know they should say.
Joe Smith died at 57, peacefully and in his sleep, after a courageous battle with liking beer and burgers too much.

Sitting on my front porch thinkingā¦
I donāt see all that many animals around. The occasional bird, a cat that wanders the neighborhood, the tortoise that lives in the back yard.
So - what are all of these mosquitos eating when they arenāt eating me?
Your next door neighbors?
Maybe time for a screened in porch.
I donāt see them out much either.
Itās not that big of a deal - just wondering.
I like the idea of not saying in my own obituary. Make people wonder and then feel a little self-conscious of their nosiness.
I am a nosy type myself.
I donāt feel self-conscious of my nosiness. Iām supposed to?

Reverse-Sear FTW. Nice, even pink inside, nice crust outside.
Oh, it will still make a mess during the searing, but should not be as much, especially if youāve salted overnight.
