Heaven's in my father in law's garage. He used to raise turkeys. One of them got sick and died and I couldn't stop thinking about it. I woke up my wife from a sound sleep and asked her where baby turkeys go when they die? She sleepily told me her father put him in the garage. so we may now all rejoice! I'll see you in my father in law's garage for beer and step dancing.

I don't think anyone can really know what happens to you in the afterlife. Why worry about it anyway, when you're dead it's not like you're going to know the difference. Death is just a part of life, just focus on living a happy life!

In Luke 23:43, Jesus declared, "Truly I say to you, Today you shall be with Me in Paradise" (Luke 23:43). The word Jesus used for paradise is paradeisos which means "a park, that is, (specifically) an Eden (place of future happiness, paradise)". Paradeisos is the a Greek word taken from the Hebrew word pardes which means "a park: - forest, orchard" (Strong's). Jesus said "Today you shall be with Me "en paradeisos" not "en nephele" which is Greek for in clouds. The point being that Jesus picked and used the word for a park. Not just any park but "the paradise of God" or park of God (Revelations 2:7) which for us will be a place of future happiness. Does this sound like a boring place? When you think of a park do you think of boredom?
Jesus said, "You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve" (Matthew 4:10). It's interesting to note that Jesus did not say praise and serve. Even the briefest examination of the word praise in the Bible quickly shows it's a verbal thing and that for the most part singing. Worship however is from the heart. Worship manifests itself in praise. Serving God is worship and Scripture is clear we will serve God in Heaven. "His servants will serve Him" (Revelation 22:3).
We are unable to fully serve God in this life due to sin but in Heaven "every curse will no longer be" (Revelation 22:3). We will not be under the curse of sin any longer so everything we do will be worship in Heaven. We will never be motivated by anything other than our love for God. Everything we do will be out of our love for God, untainted by our sin nature.
So what will we do? My favorite thing is learn. "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor?" (Romans 11:34) "in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3). God is the "the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity" (Isaiah 57:15). God is bigger than forever and it will take eternity "to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height, and to know the love of Christ" (Ephesians 3:18-19). We will never stop learning.
God's Word says we won't have to be in His paradise alone. "I shall fully know even as I also am fully known" (1 Corinthians 13:12). We will not only know our friends and family we will "fully know" them. In other words, there is no need for secrets in Heaven. There is nothing to be ashamed of. There is nothing to hide. We will have eternity to interact with "a great multitude, which no man could number, out of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues" (Revelation 7:9). No wonder Heaven will be a place of infinite learning. Just getting to know everyone will take eternity!
Any further speculations about what we shall do in God's eternal park, a.k.a. Heaven, will be far surpassed when "the King shall say to those on His right hand, Come, blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world" (Matthew 25:34).

Well, we can spend etrnity talking to everyone in heaven. I never get sick of talking so it will be great! Singing, praising God and talking to everyone! Imagine asking people from history about what it was really like when they were on earth! Wouldn't it be cool to talk to everyone?

I'm trying to figure out why you would think someone could give you an answer to this question, unless of course you have a special way of getting the dead to speak, I would think your out of luck.

Sure. You can sing. I believe that is all that is mentioned inthe bible. Oh wait, you can also refuse to give water to suffering people in hell. I bet that will be the main attraction.

An eternity of no pain, suffering or death - totally immersed in the joy, love and peace of God... does it get any better than that?

I'm told that there's a marvelous bowling alley and fish and chip shop on every corner of every golden street.

Heaven is paradise..... However, no person has been in heaven and come back to tell us what it is like. Therefore, no one knows what heaven is like.
