My cousin sent me an email with a link to a website that provides comprehensive information about Sex Offenders nationwide and a Sex Offender List based on zip code. This was done in part in response to Megan’s Law (The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1995) which states that people have the right to know if sex offenders live in their area.
I couldn’t stay awake long enough to watch all of the “Revealed” shows on CNN last night, so I taped the last two hours, but I did watch the first 90 minutes where they were featuring the life of John McCain. I found it very interesting and informative. I’m looking forward to watching the tape to see the end of that story and the show on Obama. I learned a lot about John McCain that I didn’t know before!
Ever since one of my uncles died, my parents have been quite concerned about making sure that all of their “affairs” are in order. They have gone through their house and put little pieces of masking tape under or behind most of their possessions with the names of the person that they want to have that item when they have passed on, to make sure that the right person gets the right thing. They have made video tapes of themselves saying final words and goodbyes that they want played at their funeral. They have gone over their will and made a few changes, and are in the process of reviewing their mortgage insurance.
They have decided that they need to buy burial insurance to help pay for funeral expenses and more mortgage protection insurance to help pay off their credit cards, mortgage, and other debts when they pass on. They don’t want to leave behind any kind of financial burden to their family, they want the peace of mind knowing that when they pass on no one will be burdened with any of their debt. So they have asked me to help them do some comparisons of different kinds of life insurance to make sure that they get the best value for their money. I’ve started out by checking out NAA Life’s mortgage insurance over the Internet. I’ve heard that they are a good company for all of those kinds of insurances, so this is a “one stop shopping” situation for me at the moment.
I was surprised to hear from my cousin by email last night. He was excited to share with me his news that he got his concealed weapon permit. He has been wanting to get that for a long time now, and he finally got it. I never realized how much work was involved in getting the permit; he had to take lessons in gun safety and go to the shooting range to practice his shooting accuracy. After passing the lessons he had to apply to the state for his permit and it took a couple of weeks before he got it in the mail. I’m not quite sure WHY he felt it was so important to have this permit, I’m not a big fan of guns, but it has made him quite happy!
