I'm familiar with the stages of grieving, but I am wondering about the business of death.

I know my father has a will, but both my sister and I live several states away from him. He's already fought cancer once and goes hunting a lot, even though he's very old and is a lifetime smoker. He lives alone but does have some friends.

So I was wondering, if he dies, say, hunting or something and is found, who would notify me? How would they find my phone number? Who executes the will, makes arrangments, etc? Would I need to do anything? I have small children and I'd hate to drag them around the country or leave them for long.

No one close to me has ever died - does anyone know what happens?

When all good Intelligence Agencies worldwide were convinced that Saddam had them? In fact, he used them on many occasions.

Is it possible that WMDs were found, but they all had labels saying:
MADE IN THE USA?

I'll tell you what, I've known that SS was broken for about the last decade. It's based on the premise that you can keep robbing Peters to pay Pauls. Well, it's gonna go bust. So how about giving me the choice to opt out entirely? I've been paying into social security for about the last 14 years. Go ahead, keep it, the money's yours. I'll never ask for a dime. What I ask in return is that the government quits taking money out of my paycheck every month. I'll invest that, for better or worse, and we'll see where I stand in 30 years. I'd be willing to bet everything I have that I'll be better off doing that then with the government continuing to rob me every single month. Can you opt out of this program? Are we truly in the land of the free?

I want to become a pilot. I know I wont be able to fly any of the jets because I have a bad eye-sight. How else would the air-force help me in suceeding my goal. Any recommendations of what else i should do instead of going to the air force, if in case joining the air force wont be any help?

I was watching "The power of ten" and a similar question was asked. The result of their survey showed a very very low percentage agreeing with the concept. I don't think that that reflects very well on America. Does any one out there agree with me?

What kind of stuff should I bring with me? I am not a gamer, but am considering a small mobil laptop if there is internet/wireless available there (I will not be in the "field" per se, I will be in a HQ type office).
Is there anything truly enjoyable in Iraq for a servicemember to enjoy?

The man talks the truth. Common scence intellegent politics for the good of the people. Take care of what the problems are inside our own borders. Quit trying to police the world. Get rid of big government. The Feds have way to much power. The States and the people have to break away from Federal funding and programs that are against our constitution and Freedoms that are being attacked everyday. It's not the Republicans, it's not having the right man for the job. That man is Ron Paul. Every issue he talks about makes scense. His idea of Foriegn policy is plausable.He is pro second amendment. I beleive he can make possible a future for our children and for the United States of America!
Freedom is Security. Be American, Live American. GOD BLESS AMERICA LAND OF THE FREE. STAND BESIDE HER AND GUILD HER, HELP HER FIND THE WAY. THANK YOU IDIDIT JIMBOBSWAY! I LOVE YOU AMERICA!

I'm not asking which ones you are supporting, but which of them can be trusted? Which of them would you least expect to be involved in a scandal?

Most of the top tier candidates are already disqualified.

Do politicians consider how this might effect the future of the US military?

I know you lose the right to vote, but that's really about it.
Anything else (plus sources) are appreciated.

Also a list of felonies (in general) would be greatly helpful (sources a plus also :D)

Ok, so, I' in 8th grade, right. So, there's this sixth grader, who, nobody really likes. But in band, I'm his section leader. I have to treat him as fairly as possible, considering he listens to nothing I say, and he's a complete pervert. But we were doing juries (musical Auditions sort of things) and We hada movie on while people were doing their juries. And I went to sit with my friends on the floor. I turned around real quickly after some of my friends behing told me i needed to turn around, and there was Albert (Annoying kid everyone hates,) and he was STARRING down my pants.
Now I figured, hey, If something more happens, I'll talk to Mr. Ferrario about it. And I agreed on that. But then I realized that I said the same thing to myself a couple weeks ago when he kept rubbing up againest me.
I feel totally invaded, and I hate how I feel like the dirty one, but i didn't do anything.
Do you consider this sexual harrassment and should I turn him in to Mr. Ferrario.
