I'd start to rot. A few friends. I suppose family would miss me even if its just because they'd have to get a new tech. Would their lives carry on as normal? Well of course. Apart from partner who would have to start doing his own accounts and stuff.	pctek (84)
477239	2006-08-09 05:56:00	These are good questions. I think we should think about these every now and then to see where we stand and the people around us. What would happen if I died today?... I am not sure, I would think my girlfriend, close friends and family would be hit hard though. who would miss me?... Above... girlfriend, friends and family. what would happen if I were single? married? partners? dependents? extended family? and friends? would thier lives carry on as normal? would they miss me?... Well, to start with I would imagine that it would hit them quite hard, but after a while their lives would return to normal, that is how I want it anyway, yes they will still miss me, but that is always a part of someone dying and will never be avoided. would they be there to support me in my time of need ...eg accident or illness? or whoever needs it?... Yes, I belive that all my close friends, family etc would be there for me no matter what. who would I turn to for help in a crisis?... Any of my close friends, family etc Mmm food :D :p	The_End_Of_Reality (334)

477241	2006-08-09 10:55:00	If or rather when I die.... .....I can see the entire world sheding tears of sorrow, people breaking down in the street, wars will end as the entire earths population mourn their loss, Giant statues will be built in my honour, Poems will be composed, songs of my deeds will sound around the world. In time the earths pain will lesson but all the people will be touched in some way, The sunshine will feel a little dimmer, The cold that little bit harsher. After a few Generations the various exagerated tales (real and imagined) of my life will be gathered together in a single volume and every household will base their life on it, Turn to it for wisdom and teach it to their children. People will congregate in great halls to drink mead and sing ancient heavy metal tunes in my honour and sacrifice sheep and goats in an attempt to apease me, in the hope that I save them from starvation and let it rain.

When I tried to repay him he pointed out all the good things I'd done for him already and I was a bit humbled as he saw a 'few (small) good things that I'd done' as deserving a really BIG helping hand . It's hard to explain, but I guess if you do your best by friends without expecting anything in return they'll be there for you . That's the end of my soppiness for today :D	Shortcircuit (1666)

My will says I get buried with my cellphone in case I just happen to be in a coma then wake up. Must remember to choose a burial site fairly near a telecom tower. Anyone ever seen a battery charger in a cemetery? I need to get the executors to sell off the wordly goods and put in a 1,000,000,000 litre diesel tank drip fed into a generator and the underground wiring to keep the cellphone charged. May as well get the executors to get me a laptop as well. Does anyone know which isp I should connect to in 2106? I will only be 164 years old at this point. I'm expecting that Telecom will still be here so I guess maybe I will go with that. I fervently hope that someone will come by the burial place and upgrade me with the latest software and applications. By then the generator will have expired so I hope someone upgrades that as well during my coma. Don't forget that oil will have run out by then too so we are told. As you are passing by in your rocket propelled whatever just don't forget to drop in. :-)	Sweep (90)
477245	2006-08-10 22:26:00	Sometimes it takes a long long time for some one to see exactly what is in front of their very own eyes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :rolleyes: and then reaching out for help . . . . . . . . . . . . . . only to find no one is there after all . :illogical beetle :rolleyes:	beetle (243)
477246	2006-08-11 02:42:00	Blimey beetle, you do come out with some real doozies :stare: Remembrance notice: To grieve too long is selfish, but to live your life better for having known them gives their life meaning and honour . Give yourself a hug, bugger the coffee, have a stiff whiskey, and keep on just being yourself . You can't be everything to everybody . Stop beating yourself up . Time you started thinking about what to cook for tea anyway :p . Get to it . Cheers :D	MMM (5660)
477247	2006-08-12 03:19:00	yeah you can safely say that whatever beetle is thinking is way different to most people........ coffee is good at any time...:p not into alcohol.....:yuck: not beating meself up, just have interesting thought patterns i guess.........which usually get me into trouble...:p beetle	beetle (243)
