Do Dead People Walk Their Dogs?

Does Great-Grandma Hate My Piercings?
If someone is a decent human being and does the right thing in their life, the Other Side isn’t going to look at your tattoos and piercings and make some contrary judgment. To them all the things we do over here on this side to make ourselves either stand out or blend in are just amusing. I personally like to wear a lot of big jewelry, but mostly in not very original places on my body. If someone else wants to get more creative with it - stick seven earrings in one ear, a dozen on the other, a hoop or two in their belly button, their nose or wherever else (believe me, I’ve heard of some very creative places some people have pierced, but I’m not going to mention those) Grandma Over There doesn’t care. Grandma here might because she doesn’t understand it, or maybe thinks it will reflect badly on the family or whatever. But over there, they realize that it’s no big deal. If you have tattoos all up and down your arms, Grandma Over There might wish you’d wear long sleeves when you go to work, but that’s because she’d be concerned that people here might judge you and it would keep you from advancing in your career or whatnot. It has nothing to do with her personal feelings that you shouldn’t have tattoos.

Do dead people ever lie?
No. They have no reason to lie. What are they going to get out of it? First of all, communication is all telepathic on the Other Side and you can’t get much more transparent than that. Everybody knows what everybody is thinking so lying would be pretty impossible. Kidding? Yes. Joking? Yes. But lying? Not possible. Now that I think of it, since telepathically we all understand one another, maybe over there we’d even be able to get all the dumb jokes that didn’t make sense to us before!

If there was a person who had lied or betrayed someone when they were here and then crossed over, it’s not like they’d come through with a full confession or explanation of their behavior. They may possibly be able to convey a couple key details to me about the situation, but it’s far more likely that they would just express remorse or say they were sorry.
