That is the best description of the movie. I thought those few funny laughs were worth it though. They were quality laughs. |

Sorry for your loss. You have great sense of humor. You are making your own path.
You only live once; make the most of it. Don't be become a hippie and frequent nude beaches of old fat people; nor become a money obsessed miser. Perhaps before it is all over, and you feel your body fading away, you can tell the Grim Reaper that you go peacefully as the Chiefs won a SB again! |

Knowing the future is a bitch. I was tested for Huntington's because it runs in my family and I've got it. I don't have any symptoms yet, but it is surreal trying to wrap my head around it. Seeing my Mom is a front row seat to my future. The hardest part to accept is that now my daughter has a 50-50 chance of getting it.
Whoever said "Ignorance is bliss" wasn't ****ing kidding. |

I think the deciding factor really could be if you really want someone else to have to wipe your ass again.

Sorry to hear that. A friend of mine has it, and that's a tough break to catch.

Thanks. Sorry to hear about your friend. It is a shitty disease. It seems like because it's pretty rare that it doesn't get many research hours/dollars.

I've already decided I'm going somewhere exotic and strange next year. With sand. And I don't plan to sit in it and drink fruity alcohol.

Kev,
As a non practicing Catholic, I actually enjoy the funeral service. The Irish perfected it many centuries ago by having "the wake". It used to be the wake took place in the home of the deceased. And in my Dad's generation you would walk in to the home and the body would be there in the casket. Many are the stories I recall of my parents telling me they said goodbye to friends at these wakes. The drinks flowed freely as well as the stories. And who can spin yarns better than the Irish? There were times where the the decedent was taken out of the casket and put in his favorite rocking chair or recliner and his life was toasted in celebration. My mothers service was packed into a church in downtown Topeka where they flowed out from the vestibule onto the sidewalk. As the story of her life was told (a very tragic life) and completed, she was greeted by 600 people giving her a standing ovation. In death. She deserved it in life. I'm of that age where I think about my mortality. Being 51 was difficult for me because that was the age that my father passed. I made it past that and some of those ghosts have relented. But some remain. I'm sorry to hear about your cousin. The bolo tie story is magnificent. Life is good. |

In the past year, my FIL went from a normal guy, to delusional dementia, to dead -- every tradition was very sudden. My mom went into a nursing home with late stage Alzheimer's disease after my dad had a minor stroke and couldn't care for her any more. Dad is actually doing well, but his actuarial clock is something like 7 years. Yes, I've reflected a great deal this past year, which has been one of the most noteworthy and interesting of my nearly 53 years.
The end is the dues you pay to play the game. You can't change the dues, so it is imperative to get the most out of the game as you can, while you can, however you define it. One of the true good things of your life is that you define what a good life means. In the end, I rate that as a pretty damn good deal and I would the whole thing again if I could, a thousand times over. The real tragedy isn't the way it ends, but rather the fact you can't put another quarter in the pinball machine for another go. |

Homer Simpson, of all people, had probably the best quote bet about death, totally summarizing how I feel about it:
"I'm not afraid of dying. I just don't want to be there when it happens." |

Sorry for your loss, dying sucks. You mention he went 20-25 years early or so, I have to ask. Which type of frozen pizza was he selecting on the previously posted frozen pizza life scale? |

Sorry to hear RM. I'm in the same boat. Since I moved back to Scott everyone has decided to do all their aging in the last 5 years.
I can't be old. Fortunately I'm pretty sure it won't happen. |
