Is this likely? For a character I'm writing.?

In a war story I'm writing, I want to have one of the characters be a three-star general in the army. However, a friend of mine told me that the beginning is unlikely because a three-star general wouldn't be lying in bed, next to his wife, and worrying about the ensuing war on the horizon, and whether he would be sent off to it. He would be at a military headquarters already. Is that true? What about, say, a one-star general? How are the stars earned, anyway? Thank you for your answers.

How big will my puppy be?

When you get a mixed breed, there is no way anyone can tell your what size that dog will be at maturity, not even your vet. The genes your dog inherited from both sides come in to play as your dog grows. A large breed dog can continue to grow until 18 months, whereas most smaller breeds stop around a year. It's something you will just have to wait and see.

What are some sure-fire ways to end my life?

I posted a question earlier on how to go about slitting my wrist. The answers were not what I was looking for. I have since decided against slitting my wrist. However I have not decided against killing myself. What are some sure fire ways to commit suicide?? PLEASE NOTE: Do not tell me things will get better, things could be worse or to get help. I am a consistent little *****. I will not listen. I have been to the hospital to many times to count, talked to too many shrinks, taken too many meds… You should not feel sorry for me. If you knew what I did or who I am you would want me dead- many people do.

Is there such thing as a sibling with no relation to u at all in blood, marriage or God wise?

Yes - as can be the case in adoption. If someone already has a child (adopted or gave birth to) and then adopts another child later on, their two children will be siblings without blood, marriage or according to God

Forgot the name of a movie, have you seen it?

There was this semi-old horror movie about this group of scientist who found a piece of Satan's DNA in a church basement. When they start researching it calamity ensues and hobos turn into zombies and start attacking the building they're in. Only got to see part of it, but I'm a pretty big horror / zombie film junkie and would like to see the rest but I don't know the title. If this sounds familiar to someone, please let me know the title. Thanks.

Person Inside my mind?

When my grandfather wanted to think something over, he'd say, I've got to talk it over with me, myself and I. I'm always second guessing myself, although I don't really think of it as a "voice" in my head, I know it's all me. Life is full of choices and decisions, sometimes we listen to our gut feeling and when things go wrong, we moan "I knew I shouldn't have done whatever, something told me not to". That's just the way we're made, we can actually argue with ourselves.

For the divorced wives- is it impossible to have a relationship with the new wife?

I am not asking to be her best friend, but why can't this woman at least give me a level of respect? Her children adore me. They come to me with everything. I married him so now I am a permanent fixture in the kids' lives. When my husband talks to his ex all they do is scream and shout. It always turns into a personal battle and an ugly name calling session, rather than a productive phone call about the kids. So last night, same ugly fight ensued between them and it ended with my husband slamming the phone down and yelling at me- "You talk to her!" Since it was a topic about the kids and I am a relatively reasonable person I figured I would give it a shot. She refused to take my call and later texted my husband to not have "that woman call me again." So, now I am the angry one. I have always tried to treat her with respect and give her the benefit of the doubt in many situations. After all, I know her ex husband as well or better than she and he can be very tough to live with! So, I could almost sympathize with her at times- but not anymore! We have been together for 5 years now. I think she needs to get over it and accept/appreciate the fact that her children have a person in their lives who loves them and cares about their well-being. So, my question to you divorced women- is it impossible to have a workable relationship with the 2nd wife-- especially when there is a serious lack of communication between you and the ex husband? Am I expecting too much to be able to act as the mediator so good decisions can be made about the kids without every phone call turning into world war 3?
