If someone offered you two and a half million dollars to give them an alibi for a very serious crime, Would you accept the offer? ( It's up to you to decide where you would draw the line on the Severity of the crime) Where would you draw the line? Or would you deny the offer?

It's not just using the phone that bothers me or talking to strangers. It's like - I'm afraid to call up my own friends and family. I have a very small number of people that I'm comfortable with talking to or haning out with.

Please can you help me correct the following text? I am writing a book of world names and need to get my facts right before publishing.
Surnames
It would be impossible to give a complete list of Arabic surnames because, due to Arab naming traditions, the number of possibilities is virtually infinite.
There are several of ways in which an Arab is identified. First, he has his own personal name, which can be followed by a name describing his lineage—bin or ibn (son of) followed by his father’s name, e.g., Ahmed bin Yusuf, Ahmed son of Yusuf. Some men with a distinguished lineage may append several generations to their names. Men often use their father’s name as a middle name.
Occasionally, a man may wish to be known as the father of his son, i.e., abu (father of) followed by the son’s name, for example, Mohammed abu Hasim, Mohammed father of Hasim. This is considered an honorific and is often used in place of the given name where there is a taboo against revealing one’s given name.
They also use place names, denoting the person’s, or family’s, place of origin. It can either be his birthplace, or the birthplace of an ancestor that has been handed down through the family. This is the closest they have to an inherited family name. It may also be the last place he lived. Often these place names have the prefix al (from); or the masculine suffix –iyyun, -í (pl.), or feminine –iyyatun, -iyya, added to the place name, e.g., Ismail al Ma’ad or Ismail Ma’adí, Ismail from Ma’ad.
The prefix al is also used to denote the person’s occupation or status.
Nobility is sometimes recognized by a surname preceded by el (the), e.g., Khalil Ali el Sheik, Khalil, of the Sheik Ali family.
A women’s personal name is sometimes followed by bint or ibnat (daughter of). She does not take her husband's family name at marriage, but in formal situations gives her own and her father's names. Women sometimes take a daughter’s name as an honorific, using the prefix umm (mother of), for example, Basma umm Zahra, Basma mother of Zahra. Many girls and women have what appears to be a masculine middle name; it is usually her father’s name.
More examples:
Yasmin bint Salman, Yasmin, daughter of Salman
Yasmin Salman el Sheik, Yasmin daughter of Salman of the el Sheik family
Ali Mohammed al Jubail, Ali, son of Mohammed from Jubail.

I have been going through a very rough time lately, and have recently taken so many things the wrong way, and read too much meaning into others. I have done things that I shouldn't have because my nerves are shot. How do I break the cycle of putting myself down for every decision I make?

First: My grandfather is dead, and he was very strict when I was growing up, only when he was in his 90's was he easier to talk to.
I am part Phillipino...he was full.

The dream:

We were on the Big Island...far from the main road, and the feeling was we were on a farm. I looked into a door and there was an old Hawaiian lady putting food in baskets. Lots of fruits, fish, rice, and pork. I was pretty hungry looking at it. Then she said, "Why don't you come in and eat all that you want?" Grandpa and I started eating. He was sitting in a corner and started to sing, and encouraged me to join him....I sort of started singing the last phases of what he just sang. When he was done, there was a couple that started singing. It was one of my favorite Hawaiian songs, "Honolulu City Lights". As the song was being sung, the older lady started massaging my fingers, rubbing them (it felt so good) the song was sung so beautifully that I started to cry. Then I woke up.

Looking at hte growing number of men becoming more obsessed to their appearance, what do you think about it? if you are male, do you consider yourself as a metrosexual? Why or why not? if you are female, what do you think about this trend? Will you marry a man who belongs to this group?

I'd like to think that if I really had to turn to someone, there would alway be someone there for me, but I know from experience that you can only really rely on yourself, we come into and go out of this world alone, and no matter how popular we are in life we are always alone......... thoughts?

Many times in my life (I'm over 50) people who I have just met socially, or strangers I will only encounter once ask questions that even a close friend wouldn't ask? For example, when they find out I fought in Vietnam, (you guessed it) they ask "Did you kill anyone?" This is why I try not to advertise this stuff. I've heard things like " Are those real?" asked to a girl, and many more. Why do so many ask questions like this when most don't care anyway?

please diagnose this person. I suspect he has antisocial personality disorder as classified by the DSM-IV, but he doesn't seem irritable or hostile to me, though he claims to beat people up.
his quirks:
he is always late, if he shows up at all
he is always wanting something from me
he never reciprocates a kindness, like buying me a coffee back
he always says how handsome he is and believes it
he has a mona lisa smile and his eyes look "blank" sometimes
he tries to appear educated by using big words
he is secretive about everything
he lies to his brother in front of me
he lies to me, though he doesn't know I know!
he picks his nose and farts in public and doesn't care
he has lots of big plans, but never does any of them
he talks loudly and cuts people off without letting them finish
he is very charismatic
he doesn't appear to have a job
he bodybuilds and is almost fanatical about diet
he doesn't say thank you
he forgets all the things you have done for him, like buying dinner
