What do you do with your last year?

Hmmm.
Step 1. Buy the means to have a kid and set up to provide for it before I die so I can see the kid in about 9 months, to make sure my DNA is passed.
Step 2. Fulfill every whim that crosses my mind when it crosses my mind, positive or negative, hedonistic or ascetic or altruistic.
Step 3. Join every religion as quickly as possible and ask forgiveness before dying as risk insurance.
Step 4. Do all the heroin, morphine, oxycontin, whatever feel good drugs I can buy, a rota of massage therapists to be working on me 24/7, a line of toothless modelhookers, and the best emotional and empathetic counselors, on my very last day.


Or maybe see if I have enough money to buy into Steve Gates secret mind-into-computer-immortality laboratory to download myself into a giant cyborg that will rule you all.






I love this answer laugh laugh

I know this is a downer and not what most peeps wanna hear.....I would simply pay off any of my current debts and then split that money 50/50 into accounts for my 2 children.
I COULD NOT have a lot of fun knowing I would not be around for them.

Lady....yes, I thought about that after I posted. Yes, I guess I WOULD save a few $$ for the 3 of us to do things. I would have to let them decide what they wanted to do, but I think I could come up with a couple things....
~Go to Disney in Florida.....stay for about 2 weeks and do everything.

~I have always wanted to go to Vegas and now that the kiddies are old enough.

Well one things for sure. For me I would hire a maid....I am allergic to housework. But I do it....

A maid would be good....but again, I think I would leave that kind of thing off the table. I would want the kiddos to have that option of being able to hire one. :wink:

You win the lottery. Yeah for you millions of dollars!!!

But (you knew there had to be a but)

......the next day the doctor says you only have a year to live.

Oh, it's a strange disease, you'll be perfectly healthy right up until the time you drop. bigsmile


What do you do with your last year?


Actually I would leave a huge portion to research but since I have been told this statement before I had less than a year to live. I would continue to live my life as I do now day to day to the fullest and be thankful each day I wake up.
I would also keep my will the same as it is with college funds, trust funds. etc..

I know pretty boring stuff.. But hey it is my life for that year

This might be my last year for real, so the doctors said. Every day I think I need to sit down and write letters to my children but I just can't.

I must do it so it doesn't own me.

I did this back in 93 when I was sick the first time. I will admit it will be so hard for you to do and yet once you do it the release is amazing. I now write little things on those same letters and I have included my grandkids letters. Something the can have so the always remember certain things and how much I loved them..

Still praying for you kiddo...
You have amazing strength I know you can do it..

Thank so much. I need to do it just in case the doctors are right.

Or I could haunt them forever like a ghost.

:laughing:

Thanks Sitka.

If possible you will anyway...laugh
Trust me, I had them tell me I needed to do this for them..Not really what I found out is I did it for me all the things I wanted to say if I wasn't here to say it

It's an overwhelming task, actually. I wish we had to write such letters the day of their birth as I was overwhelmed with tears of joy when each of my children presented theirself for all to see.

One doctor said one my son's looked like an old man as he came out. I was laughing and crying!!

Well, two kindred spirits are we, Sitka. I write this now that I am thankful to always share such kind words with you. I wish you well in so many of my thoughts.

What would you do Norcal?



I would leave a portion for my family. With the rest I'd go nuts, do anything I ever wanted to do. Do what we should all do anyway, but don't, live each day like it was my last. For me that means travelling to see some people I'd like to meet and going to places I've always wanted to see. When the year was nearly finished, go home to my family and really enjoy our last days together. Then after I'm gone, cremate me and spread my ashes on a vineyard in Napa vally, that'll be one sweet harvest the next season. :smile:


Oh, and I am male, so it will probably cross my mind to try and use the "but I only have a year to live" line on a few people bigsmile

I guess I'd invest all the money in cryo-preservation and put myself to cryo sleep until a cure is found.

I think you have to be pronounced clinically dead before they allow that. Check out http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20140821-i-will-be-frozen-when-i-die
