There was a post about what to do if you were going to live forever, I think it would be interesting to know what people would do if they knew they were going to die at 4:00 pm on January 15, 2010 (random date).

I’d eat a lot of red meat.
I would spend every single day doing something special with the people I love, even if it had to be one person at a time. Screw the trivial stuff. I would make sure everyone knew how much I loved them.
Quit my job and spend the rest of my life saying goodbye by visiting friends and family all the world over. Spend time with them and help as much as I could.
Is that a threat?
Seriously, probably just have fun living my life and forget about it. Possibly try to prevent my inevitable death.
Spend as much time as possible outside in nature. Travel as far and as long as I could. Be with my loved ones. Laugh as much as possible.
Welcome to the collective, DrBill.
For the sake of argument, lets say you have a “brain cloud” from Joe vs the volcano
There are no symptoms, no ill effects, and when time comes your brain will fail, followed by your body.
There is no treatment or cure.
Write it in on my planner so I don’t forget, or God forbid, schedule something on the same day.
let that boy know how cute and lovely he is.
there’s a lot of other stuff i’d do too, but that one came to mind first and seems the most urgent at this very moment.
oh, and stop stressing about classes. chemistry? yeah, i wouldn’t be wasting any more of my time staring at the clock for the better part of my day for my last year.
Invest in Life-Insurance :)
ahh some kid in my class haha, i have no courage though, for real.
Time to make a lasting impression on my kids…let them know how much I love them…probably should do that with the wife too hehe. Enjoy my friendships…mend some wrongs in my past…and do the things I’ve always been afraid of cuz I was afraid I would die…
Get some life insurance. Blow my savings.
Have an international pub crawl with friends and family.
I would try my best to do everything that is currently on my Bucket List.
4 pm in what time zone?
I would stop taking my meds and go completely bonkers.
I would win the argument with that tree
and steal your cat to ride on
@Tyra
You want Catgut?
but he’s a guard-cat, and does not like people ridding him. When someone tries, he heads for low trees, or walls to rub against.
Take the family and hike the Superior trail.
Tell everyone that I love them and not to be sad about my passing.
@DrBill
lol “Catgut” awesome
he would let me, all animals love me
I would spend the whole time with the people I love.
Believe it are not..celebrate
death has to be a much more happier place than this..
Take my family on a shopping spree, go on a a ‘round the world cruise and pray a lot.
