    you suddenly found out that you only had six months to live, how would you choose to spend those last few months.

    (morbid topic i know, but i thought it would be interesting)

    Hi DH,

    I don't think it's morbid--it's a great idea to help prioritize our lives.

    BUT I don't know what I'd do; I'll have to think about it. Travel? Spend time with loved ones? Get my papers and house in order!! See some sights around the world I've wanted to see. Still thinking...

    I would sell all my material things and get high so high. I would do it all, who cares Im going to die anyway. Smoke me some Humboldt county, crack, mainline some heroin, get dusted, pop x.

    It would be a free for all!

    My affairs are pretty much in order so I would quit work and spend each day with my daughter......try to make some memories for her. Make sure my loved ones knew I loved them.

    No, I wouldn't travel. I'd just try to do some normal things within driving distance......... skiing, horseback riding and laying in the sun without sunblock!

    First 5 months I would eat whatever I want and travel with family and friends (blow the wad of dough). Then the 6th month I'd bungee jump and sky dive (nothing to lose and it would be fun).

    I'd cash in my life insurance and travel the world.

    I'd drive my mother-in-law around in a Honda Civic and stay in a Motel 6 every night. It'd be the longest six months of my life.

    I have no idea. That would be an agonizing six months.

    I already live my life for each day... people know I love and appreciate them. And I am doing things to leave behind "pieces" of me. who knows if there will be a tomorrow. Every day people wake up for the last time...

    I had to laugh at Surrepetitious, that is priceless :D

    I don't think I would do anything different to what I am doing now, which is being focussed on my family. I would want them to feel like things are still going to be ok after I was gone, so I would be trying to help them face that loss. I would be making sure I laughed alot, so my children remembered me as a happy person. I would make love to my husband as often as the children allowed LOL. I think I would be scared, but if it was happening...I would just try and deal with that fear, and let as much love flow as I could humanly manage.
