What would you do?

What would you do if you knew you only had a couple of months left to live? Why?

More importantly, why aren't you doing them now?

Get a platinum credit card and try to hit the limit.

I'm not doing that because I will be around to have to take the blame.

 

[MagicaPractica]

I think I'd actually be doing pretty much what I'm doing right now... finally. I couldn't have said that three months ago.

Now that I'm retired, I'm probably much closer to living "day to day." But there are some projects that take a little more time to complete. Why start a novel, if you don't think you'll be around long enough to finish it?

I always try to remind myself, though, each time I say goodbye to a loved one, that I may never see them again.

 

[The_Fool]

It's all about the choices and the compromises. I live now to try and give my kids the best position I can to help them lead a "successful" life. I do this taking the chance that I can live decades. If I knew for sure that I was going to die soon, I might do things different and live for me. Or I might do even less for me so that I can pass on more. And it it not all about money, it is about opportunity.

 

[elsol]

What?

Kill all those Christians who advocate murder and blah-blah-blah in the name of god... the fag haters, abortion doctor killers, etc.

Why?
To rack up a few points with the Big Guy before I stand in front of him.

God: That was some good work, ElSol.
ElSol: Just couldn't deal with them using your name in hatred anymore.
God: You're lying.
ElSol: Yes, Sir.
God: It's a small lie... we'll let that one slide.

Why not?
Jail sex.

 

[DeeZire]

What: Buy a bunch of herion

Why not do that now: Because I'm not ready to die

(Then I'd find out where Jessica Alba lives, get a telephoto lens for my camera, and take a picture of her naked. I swear, I will not die until I've seen her naked - which might mean I'm destined to live forerver.)

 

[Vermilion]

Get married next week. Spend all my money on it and go for a 2 month honeymoon.

I'm not doing it because I need the money for other things...

I'm so very morbid right now at this moment that I already knew the answer to this. I would go spend more time with friends and family. I would write my daughter letters for all of her birthdays and her wedding. I would tell her everything that I wished for her. I would make sure there were lots of photos of all of us together for her to have. I would make videos of me reading books to her and singing to her. I would take her and the hubby to Italy to see my favorite spots.

Why dont I do it now....some of it doesn't get done because of money and a very large body of water in the way. Some of the other things I do and a few of the others I want to start working on. Am I preparing for the worst, hell no. There are no guarantees in life though so I never want her to wander about how much I loved her if something did happen.

 

[Handprints]

I'm not sure this counts, both because I unexpectedly survived and because I was given about a year, but I changed continents, started a new career, shagged everything in a skirt and said yes to almost any suggestion, including flying a glider, trying acid, attending a sumo championship and participating in a threesome. Two of those are very good fun.

I may have overreacted, as all this happened 15 years ago and I expect another 30 of further not-very-clean living...

 

[Liar]

What would you do if you knew you only had a couple of months left to live? Why?

Move out to my family's summer house by the sea, where I'd sail vintage boats, fish for trout and invite all my friends over for epic parties. Why? Cause it's freakin awesome, that's why.

More importantly, why aren't you doing them now?

Because it's not nessecarily a good way to live. "Live every day as if it was your last" is a sad old cliché if you ask me. Renders all long term anbitions dead. I'd rather work on my eduacation, my writing and music projects and keep an open mind and heart for stumbling into that special one I'd want to raise a family and grow old with. I'd do none of things if I thought I only had half a year left. I can always (and will) go fish for trout next summer.

 

[SensualCealy]

Wow, thats a hard one.

First I would call hubby's work and get him on a leave of absence.
I would pull both kids out of school, convince dd's bf's parents to allow him to start college in January instead of September and take them on a trip around the world.

I would want to end up in the British Isles. I must have lived there once upon a time because I absolutely love the idea of going there and figure it would be a peacefull place to die. Im figuing a nice grassy hill in Scotland would do the trick!

I do not want to die in hospital so being some where that my family would be comfortable would be great.

I will write letters to both my kids, one for after the funeral, one for their 21st birthday, one for their wedding day, and one for birth of their first child.

I would write one big letter to Hubby, not exactly sure what I would write, but it would be big! lol

I would also write a letter to my parents, letting them know they did a great job with what they had to give.

Other than that, I would have to win the lottery to pay for the whole thing cause there is no way in hell I could afford that kind of trip! lol

Why am I not doing this now, well the trip would be too expensive, hubby cant get more than two weeks off at a time, kids cant afford to be out of school and hmm does Scotland even want me? lmao

[lesbiaphrodite]

Buy a bunch of ice cream, potatoes, pasta, and whatever else I wanted. Eat all I wanted every day without guilt. In every other respect, I would do just what I'm doing now.

Why I don't go buy all those foods and eat like that now? Because I don't want to be a big old fat pig. If I were dying, I wouldn't give a fuck.

I don't do most of the things that I really want to because I am afraid fo the consequinces.

Visit my family(near and extended) in Asia and Australia.
Go on a vacation through Europe with my best friends. I've always wanted to travel.
Try to draw or write at least one more time(although all the creative abilities are gone...lol)


Why am I not? No money, and physical inability due to accident.

 

[jomar]

Good questions. I've been sitting on my ass doing a lot of nothing lately.

I'll start by checking my lottery ticket form a week ago and take it from there (not checking keeps hope alive, you know).

 

[ABSTRUSE]

I would watch every sunset.
