Death at a Funeral
Death at a Funeral (2007)

IMDB rating: 7.20

Plot: Daniel is a decent young man, married to Jane, still living at his father’s home. When his father dies, it his up to him to organize his funeral. On this painful morning, the suitable grave expression on his face, Daniel is ready to welcome his father’s friends and relatives. But preserving the dignity inherent in such a circumstance will be a hard task. Particularly with an undertaker who botches his work, the return from the USA from his famous but selfish brother, his cousin’s fiance who has accidentally ingested drugs, the presence a moron who takes advantage of the sad event to win back the heart (or rather the body) of a woman who is about to marry another, of a handicapped old uncle who is also the most unbearable pain in the neck. To cap it all, Daniel notices the presence among the mourners of a mysterious dwarf nobody else seems to know…

How do i get over the death of my best friend?
Okay well i lost my best friend in August and it has been extremely hard with out her. She died because she had cancer, but this was not her first time having cancer this was her third time. But the night she passed away and had a stroke. When i found this out i was at her favorite place in the World Camp sunshine dreams and the part that sucks ha most is i couldn’t even go to her funeral! So please help me what do i do?


Sweetheart, i am so very sorry.
About a year and a half ago my best friend Katie died from illness, and it was the hardest thing i have ever had to go through in my life. I used to get so mad about people saying it’ll get better when really i felt like it was only getting worse. But i promise, it DOES get better. Everything heals with time. You have to realize she is no longer suffering…
I look back now and realize how lucky i am to have lost Katie. It taught me a lot of great lessons and good things have come from it that i couldn’t have even imagined happening a year or two ago.
I will NEVER forget her, & she is still my best friend. I think of her every day. Sometimes good, sometimes our old memories. Sometimes i just need to sit down and cry & let it all out of my system. Just remember that everything happens for a reason, all you can do is trust in that. There’s no way to suddenly get over it. I wish there were, but there’s not, and that’s just a part of growing up.
I’m in high school now and often wonder what life would be like if she were still around…i guess i’ll never know, but i do know that i have learned from it, and can help others with my experience. And one day, you will do.

Don’t worry, & stay strong. <3

I’m so sorry for your loss, sweetie.
I know how you feel. My best friend passed away a few years ago in a car accident. Every time I talk about this I cry. I knew that I had to stay strong, and that she would always remain with me, in my mind and my heart. I will always love and miss her but life has to go on.
You need to stay confident and strong. I know you’ll never forget her and it will always cause you pain and sadness, but we need to move one. Lots of love.

A lot of people find comfort in learning about the bible’s hope of a resurrection. Acts 24:15 says: "that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."

If you’d like to learn more about the bible’s hope of a resurrection, here’s a link to an article that explains what the bible says about it.

Go (1999)

IMDB rating: 7.30

Plot: ‘Go’ is set mostly during one long Christmas Eve in the lives of a group of young adults on the events surrounding a drug deal in Los Angeles replayed three different times from three different views. In a straightforward manner; when slacker Simon Baines (Desmond Asknew) takes off for a getaway to Las Vegas with his friends, Ronna (Sarah Polley) takes his shift at the 24-hour grocery store where they work. When two guys, named Adam and Zack (Scott Wolf and Jay Mohr), walk in asking to score some dope from Simon, Ronna takes it upon herself and her friends Claire (Katie Holmes) and Mannie (Nathan Bexton) to buy some some stuff from the local drug dealer Todd Gains (Timothy Olyphant). But the drug deal is a sting that Adam and Zack are forced to set up by an overzealous narcotics agent, Burke (William Fichtner). Ronna is forced to dispose of the drugs. With no other alternative, she tries to double-cross Todd with phony drugs. Meanwhile in Las Vegas, Simon’s adventures with his best friend Marcus (Taye Diggs) hit an unfortunate turn during a trip to a strip club, while Adam and Zack end up spending Christmas Eve with Burke and his wife Irene (Jane Krakowski), and afterwards while driving to a rave that Ronna is dealing, the guys accidentally hit Ronna with their car and leave her for dead. Nearby, Mannie nearly OD’s on dope, and Claire gets more friendly with a vengeful Todd whom is now looking for Ronna.

Did Martin Bashir contribute to Michael Jackson's downfall?
Follow the chain of logic:

Bashir Interviewed MJ from 2002 to 2003 at Jackson’s home for a documentary called "Living with Michael Jackson". MJ opened his home to Bashir as he had never done to anyone else, thinking this was an opportunity to show his life to the world and be candid about his troubles. Bashir later admitted that the documentary portrayed MJ in a skewed light, and gave the impression that MJ was a child molester. Bashir later said:

"Certainly when I made the documentary, there was a small part of that which contained a controversy concerning his relationship with other young people. The truth is that he was never convicted of any crime. I never saw any wrongdoing myself and whilst his lifestyle may have been a bit unorthodox, I don

Kind of complicated kind of stupid question…?
well.
me and a close friend have recently confided in each other. Now, i dont really trust just anybody, but there’s a guy friend (im a girl) that im getting closer with (not romantictly) that i really just seem to get a vibe from him that i can really trust him. my close friend also confided in him and he was really supportive, and i want that support from someone. so should i spill my life to him? my secrets, my past… the only thing is that i only see him in one of my classes, so…. i dont know if that has alot to do with anything. See, i want to major in phycology, and i really like to listen to people and help them. the guy friend has come from a tough family and neighborhood and i can just tell that somethings wrong and i want ot help in any way possible but i dont know how to tell him to tell me whats wrong, or to tell him that i can help him (without seeming creepy and stalkerish) i love this guy like a brother, and i want to help.
: ) thanks for reading and helping!


Start by telling him small stuff and if he’s supportive with that stuff then you’ll know if you can trust him with more. Also if he see that you trust him he might learn to trust you and he’ll know that you are someone he can talk to. Just let him know that you are there for him.

I have permanent marker pen on my surfboard and want to remove it without damaging the board. Any advice?
I have read that toothpaste works wonders on hard surfaces, but am scared to try it on the board without confirmation that it won’t harm my baby…. any ideas?? Quite urgent please…
Just wanted to say THANK YOU to all who have answered… going to give it ago this weekend, so will let you know what worked best!!


spray some hairspray onto the board and a cloth…..hairspray is non-corrosive so it will not damage the resin surface on the board….keep rubbin til it comes off….and give your "girlfriend" a hug from me when your out there surfin.
MsRattlehead \o/ | Feb 01, 2010


Alcohol. Perfume or cologne works the best. That’ll take permanent marker off of almost any hard surface.
Lola | Feb 01, 2010


Nail varnish remover, the glass job will be fine. Once it’s hard it’s hard.

As the other two said hairspray and perfume. High concentration light solvents, and a soft rag.
Dec | Feb 01, 2010


yeah, what Dec said, it even works to remove wax, if i ding my board while surfing i just cram some wax in it and when i get home i use my wife’s finger nail polish to clean out the dig and go to repairing my board. oh yeah tooth paste is abrasive.Aloha

Was I fair in how I resolved this messy situation between me, my good male friend, and his wife?
[Hi, I asked this a month or 2 ago but would value some new answers as I am still feeling bad.]

I’ve been friends with a guy for almost 20 years; never any funny business. I don’t even fancy him, and he has never been single even when we were at college, and were relatively young.

We stayed in touch during our 20s. He had lots of girlfriends, and I dated too. We are mid-30s now.

He always made it clear he would love a threesome one day, and I always said "that’s nice dear, good luck" (I never wanted to join in).

He got married in 2005, and despite how close we are, he never even TOLD me, much less invited me. I found out in 2006 when I got a group text from him saying that his "new baby" was ill, (later died) and "please pray for me and my wife". Amidst supporting him, I had to ask "WHAT wife?!" He did go off the radar for a few months so this must have been when he got married, and we don’t have daily contact.

He never really said why he failed to tell me he got married but I believe he was terrified I would tell her all about his seedier days from college - I had NO intention of telling her, even though I was puzzled as to why she would care what he did BEFORE getting married.

Fast forward to 2009 and he finally "deemed" me "fit" to meet his wife, 4 years after the wedding! I was confused as to why now?

It turned out that he wanted to have a threesome with us, so had set up this meeting with me and her….I took one look at her, had one chat with her, and I KNEW she was not over the baby’s death at ALL. It seemed the poor woman was pilled up but never had counselling, or any friends.

ALL my friend could go on about was "how HOT is my wife? Do you agree she’s hot? So when are we going THREE WAY?? LOL"

I was like "Umm….she’s DEPRESSED. BADLY." He refused to listen, and instead continued his campaign to get us both to agree to a threesome.

She then told me she had "fallen in love" with me, following evenings and coffees out. I was horrifed and stunned, and told him. Again, he laughed it off, telling me to "just look forward" to "sucking" his you know what.

I was disgusted. It all came to a head 2 months ago when I was too busy to see her one week, and SHE THREATENED SUICIDE. She told me if she died, I am to blame, for "abandoning her" and that she was making herself throw up, over her "distress and despair" over me.

I begged my friend to help her. His response? "YOU UPSET MY WIFE BY NOT TEXTING HER FOR THREE DAYS".

Needless to say, I was shocked and horrified and talked to him for days and days, begging him to get her some help. He continued TO BLAME ME. "If only you texted her back….you’re to blame" etc. He said "Nup. I can’t accept she’s to blame..it takes 2 to tango". This made me LIVID. Not that I showed it.

I tried yet again recently to talk to him and I told him "Look - she was texting me unsettling things BEFORE I so-called ’stopped texting her’, this is a huge issue". Conveniently, he ignored that, and went on and on about "you were too busy for her, why did you stop texting for 3 days?"

I repeated that 1) she had gotten crazy BEFORE I got too busy to text her that week, and 2) I had some very deeply unsettling personal issues of my own - not that he cared! (my good friend was arrested)

After trying and trying to get him to help her, as well as seeing it from my viewpoint, and he refused, and just said "Sarah - just accept you’re to blame, please", I texted him and told him that, after 20 years, I no longer wish to continue the friendship. I can’t believe he would blame me for her mental situation.

OH AND BTW - when I finally confronted him on the wedding and why I was not told, he said "we eloped - no one knew" - WHAT THE IDIOT DOES NOT KNOW IS THAT HIS WIFE SHOWED ME THE WEDDING PICS, AND EVERYONE WAS THERE. But I did not mention this as did not wish to humiliate him.

Did I do the right thing?
Nope, this is indeed the full story, although obviously condensed. I feel bad as I feel like I have somehow thrown away the friendship, but I simply could not accept his blaming me.


Yes you did. They both are some loonies and you don’t need that stress in your life. He had no reason to lie about the wedding. It just sounds like he didn’t want to be your friend, but only your sex buddy.

If she commits suicide, then it isn’t your fault. It’s his for not intervening like a husband should. I can’t even call him a husband.

You did good to end the relationship. Don’t ever talk to him or her again. That is a negative relationship that will only bring negativity to your life. Misery loves company.

~Boo Thang~ | Jan 01, 2010


I think you did the ONLY thing you could do. Carry on with your life. This "friend" isn’t worth it.
sheloves_dablues | Jan 01, 2010


I can’t figure out what you would still be feeling bad about. He sounds borderline dangerous and she sounds like a total nutcase. Unless you left something out, I’d say you’ve already wasted way too much emotional energy on this.
Messykatt | Jan 01, 2010


I think you did the best that you could in that situation. I don’t know what else to say about it. Your friend’s behavior was very disturbing in not just blaming you but in not seeing how unwell his wife had become. Maybe he was having problems coping with his wife’s depression and needed someone to blame or help and that’s where you came in. That wasn’t a fair situation to be put in, so I can’t even say if any particular action would have been "right."
ladybug_jane22 | Jan 01, 2010


Friends are a dime a dozen…toss these crazy ones and move on. You did the right thing.

They quickly discover that they are sealed in, with only one way to get out alive. They must travel deeper into the underground facility to an escape tunnel that leads to the surface. Hindered by the fact there is only limited electrical power, they struggle through the darkness where they uncover a hive of genetically mutated creatures that stalk them from the shadows. Bred for combat, these monsters are endowed with razor sharp talons and rows of jagged teeth capable of ripping a man apart. While avoiding danger at every turn, they begin to regain their memories, discovering the origin of the deadly creatures and the part they played in their creation.

T.Long | Feb 03, 2010


I am aware that some of these songs bleed into the 70’s, but they mine the same vein.
Just looking at the who of your list, I can suggest some alternatives.
I feel that Last Train to Clarksville is a better song by the Monkees. Also, Take A Giant Step, a somewhat obscure song by them, is enjoyable.
Long Cool Woman by the Hollies is vastly superior to Bus Stop.
While Groovin, is a great song, it is very laid back. The more rockin’ Good Lovin’ would be a good alternate.
While Mr. Tambourine Man is a great track, I prefer Dylan’s own version. I would suggest an alternate by the Byrds with Eight Miles High. Also, the reconstituted countrified version of the Byrds had an interesting song with Chestnut Mare.
Another interesting song, that was not a hit and that I recommend as a supplement to your choice, is Dancing Bear by the Mamas and the Papas. It has a very dreamy, sad kind of quality that pulls you in.
I do prefer Without You, by Nilsson to your choice.
You might want to check out Temptation Eyes by the Grassroots as an alternate to Let’s Live for Today.

Hello there,

That is a pretty good mix. I liked all of those songs back then. One obvious omission: the Beatles. They did have a lot of hit singles. In 1964 they pretty much dominated the charts. Day Tripper was a big hit and was released as a single. Later, Hey Jude, was a big hit when released as a single.

Now for the others: Atlantis by Donovan. That was a big hit. It was covered by local bands everywhere I went.

Knock on Wood. Eddie Floyd song. Later Otis Redding did a great cover of it. One of those two versions would make a good addition to your list.

I Heard It Through the Grapevine. Marvin Gaye’s cover was the best. You should consider adding it to your list.

You probably should have something by the Four Tops in there. I Can’t Help Myself was always my favorite. Did not spend as long on the charts as some of their other songs, but I still think it was their best.

Need some Wilson Pickett. Try Mustang Sally. Great groove.

Need a little more British Invasion hits. Some Eric Burton and the Animals. Take your pick, any of these three are great. We Gotta Get Outta This Place, Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, or House of the Rising Sun. Maybe some Zombies. Either of these: She’s Not There, or Time of the Season. British Invasion list would not be complete without the Stones Satisfaction. Chad and Jeremy Yesterday’s Gone. Gerry and the Pacemakers Ferry Cross the Mercy (one of my personal favorites).

The list seems a little short of American rock. Need some hot rods and surf. Try the Beach Boys Surfin USA. and Jan and Dean’s Little Old Lady from Pasadena.

Heavy rock had some big hits in the 60s. Cream Sunshine of Your Love. Jefferson Airplane White Room. Big Brother and the Holding Company Piece of My Heart (released on an album Cheap Thrills, no single). Of course there was that acid rock blues guitarist. He put out some big hits in the late 60s. Don’t recall any singles. Just the same, Purple Haze or Hey Joe is worth a mention. Steppenwolf Magic Carpet Ride.

Roy Orbison (you gotta love that voice) Pretty Woman is worth a mention.

How about some Four Seasons. Always loved Sherry. And the Happenings See You in September. What a great song.

An early 60s hit was Chubby Checker’s Limbo. What a party favorite. Also his Twist. I embarassed myself with that one.

You already have one by the Mammas and Pappas, but I think you might consider adding Dream a Little Dream. Heck of a song.

Oh man, I forgot Wooly Bully. Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs. Johnny Rivers had a lot of hits in the 60s. Take your pick they all are great: Secret Agent Man, Tracks of My Tears or (my personal favorite) Poor Side of Town.

Again from an album, the Chicago Transit Authority Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is. Great song. Great album. After the CTA album they changed their name to Chicago. It was a studio album. When I saw them live, it was terrible. They could not capture the sound from the studio. We started yelling for B B King to come back on stage.

How about Crosby, Stills & Nash Marrakesh Express.

You have one by Dion, however, the song that meant more to me was Abraham Martin and John. Sad times. Hauntingly beautiful song.

How about the Association Along Comes Mary. Garry Puckett and the Union Gap Young Girl. Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine by the Fifth Dimension. Probabl should add some Simon and Garfinkel to the list. Bridge over Troubled Waters was quite a hit. I always liked Scarborough Fair.

And of course, your list does not have an Bob Dylan on it other than the Byrds cover of one of his songs.

Man, what a great decade to be young. Great times. Great music.

Later,

Hello again. Senility must have set in. How can I talk about 60s music and forget Louie Louie by the Kingsmen. After all the time I spent chatting with those guys, how could I forget to include them.

does no one know about the suicide kings truth?
there are so many answers about the suicide king but i know bettter and i was trying to find the whole story of secrets hidden within a playing deck. as for the suicide king he is modeled after the heirless king henry and is commiting suicide because the queen of hearts is having an afair with the king of diamonds (the reason her flower has a diamond in the center) or the peaceful king. the king of diamonds is the only king holding an axe and not looking at his weapon. the jack of hearts is the same way and holding a quill he is the king of diamonds son. due to the imbreeding of the royal families back then intelligence was low in the royal families, this would make the jack of hearts smarter than most royalty due to his father being from a different family which is (my guess) why he holds a quill. now another little secret about a deck of cards is that there are 52 cards in a standard deck, also there are 52 weeks in a year. coincidence? no. if you count there are 365 symbols in a standard deck. the last is not the joker but hidden in the ace of spades. the joker wasn’t added till later. also there are 13 cards in a suit, originally there were supposed to be 13 months made up of 28 days a year, due to supersticions with the number the months were spread into 12 and divided as evenly as possible between 30-31 days. what other secrets do you know about a deck of cards and did you know this already?


You mention the word "superstition" and that is all most of this is.

The reason the king of hearts is called the suicide king is that he appears to be stabbing himself in the head with his sword. This is due to the art progression of the deck through the ages, mostly due to adaptations of poorer quality art in earlier eras and not an intentional depiction.

‘The suicide king’ is a nickname for the card, because it looks like the king is stabbing himself. It was not called that THEN drawn that way, so there is no ’story’ or meaning as such behind the the king of hearts card in the standard deck.
