2. Obviously people who intend to be suicide bombers don't think that.

4. I do
don't want to
and the strange thing is it might actually
be a day or 2 before anyone notices......

;(
not because they don't care
but my daily routine does not
put me in touch with my son everyday and he lives here
and my daughter has her own life, if she calls she would just
think I was out.....
but she would start to worry if
it was 2 days she could not get in touch

sorry this post is so long
not even sure if this is a joke thread....

7. You can die alone even if you aren't alone
You should concentrate more on how you want to live.
Death will come when it does.

10. The link in my sig line.
What's the point of being smart, intelligent, geek, dork, "little professor", readily laughed at, et al, when all the best reasons for being alive are unreachable by comparison?

20. All the trees I know of are already taken.
In my 'previous life', all the trees didn't care for more than a "cheap sniff"...

16. I probably will
I suspect that I will, but in the meantime I'm not gonna dwell on it.

We all die alone really, even with others around us.

18. We all ultimately die alone.
I know that's not what you mean, but death is ultimately a solo experience.

34. Good point. One my grandmother used to make from time
to time. We are born alone, and we die alone. It's not as bad as it sounds. It's a tribute to strength, and there are similarities in those who are just born and in those who die.

28. I plan on sailing my retirement away.
I'll probably die by drowning in a storm far away from everyone I love. You know what, I couldn't think of a better way to go because I'll be doing what I want. Fear of death won't stop me from living.

32. it is my goal but i'm skeptical
Edited on Mon Jul-30-07 06:50 PM by pitohui
i would love to go out in the desert and die alone when my time comes but the reality is that i, like you, and everybody else on this site, will die surrounded by vultures in some nursing home that will bill medicare an additional 12 months of expenses after we have passed

dying alone is an honor and a privilege, be strong, toad
