Wills and last wishes

Does anyone have a will or written out final wishes? My father did. I did most of the stuff he asked in his letter. I have not been able to scatter his ashes the way he asked.

I don't have any myself. I'm thinking I should write something out and have my lawyer keep it. I'm thinking of giving him the names of my online friends - including you guys - to let them know I'm gone. I just hate it when people disappear and you don't know what's happened to them.

If I have any money left, who should I leave it to? Are there any foundations that help people with avpd? Maybe I could start one.

I have to do it. Indeed, I should do it two years ago when I bought my flat.
No, in my country there isn´t any foundation for avoidant or social phobic people, at least in my Community. You always could let this money to an animal or children foundation, for example.

Or maybe baby animals. They're so cute.

Yeah, there is a center, I think is in the USA where there are people who help baby animals. I saw in a wildlife program.

In relation, what my last wish, I will donate my organs. The rest don´t worried about.

I still worry about organ donation. They need organs badly. What if they decide your close enough to being dead and take them? Read some old stories by Larry Niven. He wrote about it way back in the late 60s and early 70s. In his stories society implimented the death penalty for too many traffic tickets so they could harvest enough organs. I've heard of cases where people get a kidney stolen. They get an offer of a job in another country, get drugged and wake up without one of their kidneys. Ever see the movie Dirty Pretty Things?

I think they are just that, stories . I spose organ theft is possible, but I don't think doctors in a hospital would do that. I decided I wanted to be an organ donor when i was around 14. I guess i saw it as the only real way I could really make a difference.

And I liked your idea of notifying online friends. Ive fell out of contact with a lot of online friends. And its kinda strange to think that some of them could have died, and i may never know.

They're not legally binding in a will, but I alternate a bit on the whole funeral wishes thing. On one hand, it IS your life and corpse, and your wishes should count for something. On the other hand, a funeral is mostly for the bereaved (assuming there's anyone left that knows you), so it's their show too. But what if your family becomes divided on how to proceed with the funeral? Let's say one side wants a very somber, religious funeral, and the other wants a brief secular remembrance with lots of alcohol. Wouldn't explicit directions from the deceased solve such a dilemma? Or not...they'll bicker about your wishes, and how the family's supersedes them. Regardless, you WIN! It's a good time to be dead.

Whatever you do, make sure you insist on a coffin that ISN'T air-tight (and they're usually cheaper). Unless you want to be pressure-cooked underground after death in a sealed casket. Either way, I'm going cremation on this one.

As for the real estate and material goods, my closest relatives can have 'em. What do I care what they do with it? I'm dead! At least I'm supporting family - they can't use that against me. The less hard feelings at the funeral, the better. Which is dearly important considering the only people at my funeral will be close relatives. If I'm lucky.

I don't really have any family. I have a cousin who I only saw twice in the past 20 years- at my father's funeral abd then 6 months later at his father's funeral. I have terrible sister who moved to the other side of the country when dad retired. He flew out there to visit her twice and she wouldn't even see him. She didn't even come to his funeral. I don't think she should get anything. I don't even care if she's not notified about my death. she's nothing to me.

Dirty Pretty things? No I havn´t watched this film but I´ll check it. I think of those stories are urban legends. I´ll be more worried if I lived in Haiti and they make me becoming a zombie.

You don´t trust in doctor very much, do you? lol
I fortunetelly live in a country where death penalty doesn´t exist anymore.

Waste the money, my friend, enjoy the time with your operas and ......(no comment) and if you find a good cause to give your money, do it. You´ll feel good.

GREAT film. One of the best movies I've seen that doesn't have zombies in it.

Doctors? Trust? No way. Did you ever read my dentsist threads? I am still in pain 4 years after a dentist gave me veneers. I told him I was allergic to acrylic and he KNEW there was acrylic in the cement. He didn't tell me.
