If you could choose, how would you leave this world?

My grand dad died peacefully in his sleep. It was grandma and the rest of the family who died screaming trying to wake him up as the car went over the edge...

I voted for 'other'. I would like to slowly dematerialize like a morning fog.

To add to this poll...how many of you would want to know if you were going to die? Whether it be, you have an incurable disease, or whatever...would you want to know?

I think no. I'd rather it just suddenly happen. I see the pros of knowing, saying proper goodbyes to loved ones, and maybe doing something you always wanted to do, that you might not have done if you didn't know it was your time.

But, I feel like I'm already doing everything in my life that I want to, and I already tell my loved ones I love them, just b/c of the simple fact that you never know. I don't really have an excellent reason, I just think sometimes ignorance can be bliss, and I wouldn't want to know.:P

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Hey, now that's a thought! Um. I actually go to a psychic once a year, she's really good, and it doesnt really bother me knowing my future. I mainly go to check if I'm heading in the right direction.

Hmmm, but finding out whether you're going to die?
I dunno about that, that's just way too full on for this girly girl!


Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after

would you want to know?


I'm iffy on that. It would be nice to get all the money out of all of my accounts and give it to my nephew or something like that so it isn't taxed as much. I would also quit work. However, besides that, there's really no point in knowing.

In the event that you leave all your money to your kitty, I will care for your kitty. However, the kitty will need a nice house and a boat to be happy.

Not only empty your accounts, but max out about 4 charge cards jumping your butt off. My personal plan is to be buried face down so that the people from Visa can stop by the gravesite and kiss my butt cheeks. I don't think I am financially irresponsible, I know better than to give me credit cards. It was bad judgement on their part, I'm just educating them. ;)

Nope, not I.

If you love your loved ones, they know it. If you need to say it if you know you are going to die, you need to say it right now, and repeat it every day, since one of those days, you will die.

and maybe doing something you always wanted to do, that you might not have done if you didn't know it was your time.



Once again, there should not be a reason here. Why wait until you know you are going to die to do all the things you want to? If you have to wait, what's the point in living?

Ahhh, I see now, you posed the question for everyone else, yet seem to share my beliefs exactly! Welcome to my world!

I attended my father in law's death a couple of months ago. He was slowly declining; went into the hospital and died a couple of days later at home, after his family had had a chance to come and be there with him. We were all holding hands, and it was very peaceful.

I vote for that.

You just saved yourself a reprimand for not reading thoroughly!



If I go back and edit that post, removing the last quote and reply, would you promise to spank me, and will mama help?

Hey, JT

If the ladies say you're too much, You could try giving the regulars coupons for 10% off their next visit. What with the economy in the shape it's in and all. . . . . . . . . . ..

It could work.
