car accident

wildflower's avatar

Most likely heart-problems or cancer (I’m not being morbid, just going with the odds).

I’d rather not think of that right now. Being only a teenager, I have the rest of the life to look forward to. hopefully it’s in the arms of a beautiful woman

During my life.

JackAdams's avatar

I’ll probably be murdered by someone in here, who doesn’t like my posts.

Probably a form of cancer.

whatthefluther's avatar

I have an incurable disease but do not plan to let it run its course…it’s much too ugly. So, I will exercise my right to die, when I feel it appropriate, in a very humane and tidy manner.

jlacombe's avatar

Heart stoke (in my sleep hopefully)

MrMeltedCrayon's avatar

With my luck, it’ll be a shark that does me in.

bodyhead's avatar

It’ll be lung cancer unless I can figure out how to quit smoking.

whatthefluther's avatar

And, @JackAdams, I’ve not completely ruled out taking someone down with me! Just kidding, of course. I love your posts (complete with timestamp),...it’s your choice of dictionary I find unsettling.

JackAdams's avatar

I guess that means I can rule you out, as someone in here, who will murder me.

Gunshot wound. Although cancer is certainly a contender.

I actually have a plan for nice suicide, if I ever reach 80.

MacBean's avatar

So many health issues to choose from… Probably heart problems. Or a hate crime.

cheebdragon's avatar

why a hate crime?

bodyhead's avatar

Yea, please expand on the hate crime.

wrestlemaniac's avatar

Probably murdered.

NecroKing's avatar

The future looks dim for me.

tedibear's avatar

Car accident – not because I’m a bad driver, but I’ve gotten “flashes” of it in my head. If that doesn’t get me, family health history would dictate a heart attack.

loser's avatar

I don’t know, but it will probably happen while I’m Fluthering!

wrestlemaniac's avatar

don’t think like that.

loser's avatar

Why not?

NecroKing's avatar

that’s our job!!

ninjaxmarc's avatar

From legal racing, regardless of how much experience and skill some things are just out of my control.

loser's avatar

It’s your job to tell me how to think?

marinelife's avatar

From boredom from vapid Qs and As.

NecroKing's avatar

No…it’s our job to think depressive humor.

wrestlemaniac's avatar

hahahaha. ***sarcastically***

loser's avatar

Where is that, “Stop Following” button again…

aneedleinthehayy's avatar

wow i really dont know. no one in my family has died so i dont know, like, what i’m most likely to die from. also, im still at that point in my life where i think im invincible so trying to picture a death and have it feel ‘right’ doesnt really work.
the only dream i’ve had where i’ve died, i died because of freezing to death from the next ice age.

NecroKing's avatar

my family has a curse, no lives longer than 50.

loser's avatar

So, how much more of this do we have to go?

NecroKing's avatar

Beats me ask wrestle he can see the future.

wrestlemaniac's avatar

This will last until 45 responses.

wildflower's avatar

@aneedleinthehayy: Noone in your family has died?? You must have some pretty old relatives!

Magnus's avatar

Happy! :D

shrubbery's avatar

I’ll probably wind up looking like a leather bag and die of skin cancer.

MacBean's avatar

@cheeb & bodyhead—I’m genderqueer. So the world’s a little bit scary anyway and it’s seemed to me that in the past few months the number of news stories about transpeople being murdered for being themselves has been unusually high, so it’s on my mind.

cheebdragon's avatar

where are you from?...
.

MacBean's avatar

Upstate NY

cheebdragon's avatar

you should move to california…....no one will mess with you here

scamp's avatar

With my luck, I’ll probably go in a plane crash. I’m leaving tomorrow for Florida. I’ll be flying through the remnants of Tropical Storm Fay with one of the computers that registers flight plans down. I’ll be on a small plane that only seats 50 people. If that doesn’t do it, Hurricane Gustav will probaly get me on the way back. They are saying it’s due to hit on Monday, the day I fly back to Jersey.

jlm11f's avatar

scamp – bon voyage. enjoy your trip!

scamp's avatar

Thanks!

bodyhead's avatar

@MacBean, Ah ok, thanks for the clarification. I wish I could argue with you but the world is full of bigots and haters.

wrestlemaniac's avatar

I could send protection for you. BH.

flameboi's avatar

Like James Dean, hot car, hot life, at the top of the game and out of control

scamp's avatar

Whew!! I thought the above was going to be my last post here! I had a very rough ride to Florida. They said there would be turbulence, which I expected because of the thundrstorm we headed through, but nobody said anything about the plane suddenly DROPPING!! The flight attendant was sitting in the row across from me, and we we chatting away when all of a sudden, then plane just seemed to fall quickly. It was enough of a drop that my stomach was in my throat, and I let out a little scream. Brian, my flight attendant just said, “well that was fun.” Then it happened again but worse. I normally love to fly, but this flight was out of the ordinary.

When it was time to land, I watched the runway get closer from the window, and just as the landing gear was about to touch the ground, we took off again, going almost straight up!! The captain came on after a very long couple of minutes, and said,“Ladies and gentlemen, we apologive for the ‘missed approach’ and any inconvienience, but we’ll be circling back around to try again shortly.” I was happy about being back in Florida, but this time I wanted to kiss the ground!!

ninjaxmarc's avatar

we will see when the time comes.

scary stuff scamp

wrestlemaniac's avatar

Well my Guys are always watching over everyone’s safety here on fluther.

“I will not go gentle into that good night…”

scamp's avatar

Me niether knot. I’ll be fighting and scratching all the way!!

wrestlemaniac's avatar

Like they said about teddy R.

scamp's avatar

I survived both flights, whew!

whatthefluther's avatar

@scamp…welcome home and thanks for checking in.

scamp's avatar

Thanks whatthefluther , It’s good to be back, but I already miss my babies terribly….sigh!

GAMBIT's avatar

My ideal death will be that I can die in my sleep at home in my own bed. I would like to be able to tell my wife and daughters that I love them before I go and not to worry about me and that they should go on with their life and be happy. Unless I have a progressive disease such as Alzheimer’s which 5 million Americans get each year I would like to remain active as long as I can.
