If you were gonna die - - what would you leave for your family and friends?

[Taverner]

Just askin'

[datasuspect]

1. lots of major news outlets trying to get to them.

[Taverner]

2. Does it ensure money?

[datasuspect]

3. in terms of litigation and civil suits against my estate?

probably yes. a considerable portion will be disbursed to creditors in probate.

whatever i don't give out beforehand. which would be minimal. i'm only 40. i still use most of my cash. what i do reserve, i'm not necessarily wanting to give out.

i'm expecting to drop dead of a heart attack within 5 years though. one of my relatives can access my accounts during the time between i die and when the confusion settles. they would have to grab the loot as soon as they confirmed i was actually dead.

that is, if anybody wants anything.

15. I wish you wouldn't talk like that...you are one of DU's most valuable treasures

and I mean that dude :thumbsup:

[mitchum]

4. A big mess and bewilderment

[Taverner]

6. A mexican divorce and a baby's arm holding an apple!

[kayakjohnny]

10. Now that is what I call a response!

A tip of the hat to you, sir!

[redwitch]

5. Huge pile of debt.

And 3 cats.

[proteus_lives]

7. A medium-sized life policy.

An apartment full of books.

A bitchin' comic collection.

And hopefully, good memories.

[Mokoil]

8. a map to buried treasure

I have no buried treasure, but what the hell. It would keep them busy for a while.

[txwhitedove]

18. Welcome to DU! Awesome reply. It would be fun to actually leave

a treasure map that leads to some treasure of your choosing - pictures, money, or an heirloom.

:hi:

[KT2000]

23. You're on to something

Think I am going to do that!
Thanks for the idea

[bluedigger]

9. Fabulous porn collection.

And the dog.

[kentauros]

11. My unfinished stories.

But then again, I would expect them to go through my computer and find them anyway. I think I'd rather have the time to delete some things instead :P

12. 1001 reasons to laugh, either at me, or with me...

My social circle coalesced in the late 60's and early 70's. Since then, I've done more stupid things than one person can count.

[Ikonoklast]

13. A corpse.

[Kaleva]

14. My corpse. They earned it.

[Old Troop]

16. Most likely my corpse

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. A messy house, three cats, and my corpse. Not much else.

And the cats will probably eat me before anybody notices I'm missing.

There's one thing I'd like to do, though, before I go: Leave a key to a safe deposit box where they (whoever "they" would be) will find it. In the safe deposit box will be nothing but one of those cans that when you open it a bunch of those "snakes" made of cloth and springs fly out. That would be cool.

[WinkyDink]

19. A messy house!

[pitohui]

20. as far as i know i'd be leaving them EVERYTHING

do you have some special top secret way to take it w/ you?

[nolabear]

21. I hope the knowledge that they are wonderful beyond measure

and that I loved them with all my heart. There's stuff, but it's just stuff.

[NV Whino]

22. Lots of laughs.

[murielm99]

24. A detailed will.

I am not rich. But I do have a nice CD collection, a good library and some property and some jewelry. It will be disbursed fairly. They mostly know already who is getting what.

The best thing will be the memories and the laughs I leave them. We have had fun.
