It is a nice theory. In real life the only problem is that while your laying there dying if your relatives are like mine your will and personal beliefs are just disregarded. I would bet a priest would appear whether I wanted one or not. The doctors would ask the next of kin if you were not able to respond. These would be the older relatives, Mom, Aunts or Uncles. The younger generations would probably abide by my wishes, but I'd probably get a religious service after I was dead.
Bye BB63, time was too short to get to know you, only to enjoy your wit in the forums which I'll miss. You've already left so hope you come back as a ghost reader and see all the thoughts of those who miss you. I hope everything works out for the better during your treatments.
please show me a financial break down of how much actually gets to the people in need vs. paying for new office equipment, salaries and donuts for the Red Cross. After participating in a considerable donation for the Red Cross once and then finding out the following month they decided to buy a large amount of furniture for their offices that did not need to be replaced I will never give money to them again. Mind you, the people in the red cross getting their hands dirty are some of the best people in the world and I understand the logistics end of what it takes to move supplies to remote areas. However, I also know the percentages of what goes where is not what it should be in my opinion.
