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

Kidding...I'd do it like you. :cool:

Sorry dude, I even remember that now.

M.D. Holloway 05-08-2005 05:49 AM

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 05-08-2005 08:03 AM

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 05-08-2005 08:17 AM

Would I get to take someone with me?

pwd72s 05-08-2005 09:17 AM

I'd croak

BlueSkyJaunte 05-08-2005 09:23 AM

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.....

Isabo 05-08-2005 10:34 AM

A total assault 911 drive in the mountains.
Tell my husband and daughter how much I love them.
Prepare a romantic dinner.
Eat it and then think beautiful thoughts with a 20 year old malt and my husband next to me on the sofa.
Pretty much what I do most weekends.

red-beard 05-08-2005 11:11 AM

I thought about this subject a bit this week. I think I met the guy (Mike Hartman) who was killed at our company, about 24 hours before he was killed. Spent a bit of time on Thursday at our trade show talking with a guy who's office was next door to the shooting. He was talking with Mike only 2 hours before...

I called my wife and told her how much I loved her and then did the same to my parents...

I feel ya, Elwood! :(

Divorce is painful enough for all involved. When one parent uses the kids against the other parent, it's just wrong!

don't worry, wait till the kids are old enough... when they break ties from there mother , say college. by then they will be mature enough to look at it from both sides.

I don't have a husband or a daughter, but otherwise it is perfect. Especially the "most weekends" part ;)

Perfect opportunity for you to reconcile with your original faith and former wife...;)

This is what I would do right this minute if I could, regardless how long I was going to live.

targa911S 05-09-2005 08:52 AM

Probably have all my friends and family over for a hell of a 24 hour reunion party. Pay for all their airfares with a bad check. Spend as much time as I could with each and every one of them and give them all of my posessions that I would like them to have personally. Kick them all out at 11:00 and make love to my wife one last time...die in her arms.

mattdavis11 05-09-2005 09:21 AM

Make time stop.;)

MikeCT 05-10-2005 04:06 PM

I would pillage like a f***ing Viking.
