Not sad. My life's been pretty damned wonderful. But I have so much left to DO yet, and I'd be pissed that I hadn't had time to get it done.<br /><br />I'll probably feel that way at 108, though. I need to get to work!Dr. Cheryl Carvajalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323455180953109460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-36180178687721422252009-12-06T11:16:55.950-06:002009-12-06T11:16:55.950-06:00I would first make sure my children would be taken...I would first make sure my children would be taken cared of financially. Then, I'd take a trip to some island and just absorb the tranquility. Then, I'd fight whatever disease it is that I have and if I go, I go. <br /><br />Can you do a reading? I think I'm in love with someone but am not sure if he's feeling what I am feeling. Curiosity has gotten the best of me, couldn't resist asking this. <br /><br />KatrinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-82132742823951558242009-12-05T10:13:19.714-06:002009-12-05T10:13:19.714-06:00Jeff, I can sympathize with that.

Death has never frightened me much, I guess. I just don't want my family to suffer more than necessary.Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-19835783775812438652009-12-04T23:05:26.000-06:002009-12-04T23:05:26.000-06:00This evening at a Knitters Night someone was menti...This evening at a Knitters Night someone was mentioning about a book she was reading and I wish I could remember the name but it is too late at night. Was along the lines of Living to Die and the ideas that the North American culture has to death.<br />At a talk, a woman had come up to him having just learned that day that she had an incurable illness. His response was that from the day we are born, we are just waiting to die. She had been given a Doctor's time line but actually, none of us know when we will die.<br />I have worked as a Police Dispatcher and for a Rehabilitation Company (they helped people who had been in moderate to severe accidents to arrange appropriate therapies) and know the uncertainties of life.<br />Since a teenager I have subscribed to the theory that I am going to live until I am 125 but if I die tomorrow my major regret is the lack of time with loved ones and not the things I could have, should have, would have done.<br />May today be the best day to date and tomorrow even better.Flemisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846999334987088412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-27627204412701927952009-12-04T19:43:37.550-06:002009-12-04T19:43:37.550-06:00I would spend every waking second with my family.....I would spend every waking second with my family...<br /><br />I would work on my book and hope to finsih it enough so my family could have somthing to always have that was realy a part of me. somthing that defined me, somthing that i hope they could connect to...<br /><br />best i could ask for. <br /><br />i think i would rather have this option that just up and dieing without warning.time to prepare better sounds good to me.Jeff Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667419764890599092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-59522251834716282802009-12-04T19:29:00.590-06:002009-12-04T19:29:00.590-06:00Damn, cool premise, Roy.

Sounds like a good plan, though.<br /><br />Somebody once wrote a story, may have been Harlan Ellison, about a guy who, on being given such a death sentence, was at a loose end until he witnessed somebody trying to mug somebody else. He shot the mugger and pinned a note to the guy saying he'd been shot for being nasty. That gave him an idea, and he spent the rest of his useful days playing vigilante knight errant. Well, what could they do to him, kill him? Heh, heh!Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-88943012775603342952009-12-04T19:01:14.535-06:002009-12-04T19:01:14.535-06:00yikes!
