What Would You Do If You Knew You Were Going To Die in 24 Hours?

[M.D. Holloway]

OK - it is a terrible thought, but how would you spend your last 24 hours?

I think about that everytime I get ready for a trip. Here is what I do 24 hours prior becuase I never really know if it will be the last time I take air. Maybe I should do these things more...
1) Take the Targa for a nice run - alone.
2) Then take one or both of the kids for a run in it.
3) Spend as much time playing with both kids and really listening to them.
4) Letting Lisa unload as much ***** as she can - which is typically alot (more for her sake then mine).
5) Let the kids stay up way late and watch movies with them.
6) Hold one or both till they fall asleep
7) Check on them during the night - about every 2 hours. Kiss their heads and tell them I love them, am proud of them and to take care of each other and Mommy
8) Eat junk food
9) Sit with God while everyone else is asleep...
10) Tell Lisa I love her and admire her even if we have had a bad few days or so.
11) Call my Dad and tell him he is my hero and that I love him.

Can't say I would do anything more...

Its cool - even if she was still around, she wouldn't know what day it was let alone what year.

There was a Simpsons episode where homer is told to live every moment like its his last. The next shot is him sobbing uncontrollably... 'I'm gonna die!'

Live Like You Were Dyin'
(Tim McGraw)


He said I was in my early forties,
With a lot of life before me,
And a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
I spent most of the next days, lookin' at the x-rays,
Talkin' 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time.
Asked him when it sank in, and this might really be the real end.
How's it hit ya, when you get that kind of news.
Man what ya do.
And he says,

[Chorus]

I went sky divin',
I went rocky mountain climbin',
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fu Manchu.
And I loved deeper,
And I spoke sweeter,
And I gave forgiveness I've been denying,
And he said someday I hope you get the chance,
To live like you were dyin'.

He said I was finally the husband,
That most the time I wasn't.
And I became a friend a friend would like to have.
And all the sudden goin' fishing,
Wasn't such an imposition.
And I went three times that year I lost my dad.
Well I finally read the good book,
And I took a good long hard look at what I'd do
If I could do it all again.
And then.

[Chorus]

Like tomorrow was a gift and you've got eternity
To think about what you do with it,
What could you do with it, what can
I do with with it, what would I do with it.

[Chorus]
I went sky divin',
I went rocky mountain climbin',
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fu Manchu.
And I loved deeper,
And I spoke sweeter,
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'.
And he said someday I hope you get the chance,
To live like you were dyin'.

To live like you were dyin'.
To live like you were dyin'.
To live like you were dyin'.
To live like you were dyin'.

I do the nice stuff - playing with the kids, listening to the wife - every day.

So I would exact revenge on a couple of real jerks who definitely deserve it. They know who they are (and no, they are not on this board).

[elwood-914]

I would get my 2 children together and clear the air about the divorce. I never got to tell them my side. Thier mother is a contol freak...and to tell them I love them and am sorry it didn't work out. Then I would go away satisfied.

[widebody911]

Would I get to take someone with me?

[pwd72s]

I'd croak

[BlueSkyJaunte]

Ribbit.

Hire the Limo to take me to the Bellagio Villas, go out have a nice meal, hire the best talent for an end of the world romp, and 10 minutes to 12 put ALL my money on the Crap Table Pass Line for a one roll finally.....
