1. No. All men die. But not all men live.
I will die on my own land hopefully in bed.

2. No I don't wonder about it. (going to leave it at that)

3 I would spare someone that I loved any pain that I could.

    1) I like the old line, “I want to depart this life at the age of 99 – shot by my lover’s jealous husband.”
    2) Both VERY real. One VERY desirable. One VERY undesirable! (Make sure you know which one you're headed for!!)
    3) Do not want to die before spouse who would have the unpleasant task of having to dispose of all my junque.
1. Dieing, as long as it is quick is easy, I do fear of living and someone having to take care of me.
2. No
3. I have always invisioned I would be the first to die. Living is hard, but it is all that I know about. I do enjoy life and hope to live for a long time, but I do acknowledge the fact that death runs early in my family, My father lived to be older than any of his brothers (65). I can't answer question 3.
1. I fear dying (in a painful manner), but not death.

2. i don't believe in the heaven and hell that religions and preachers use to try and control and instill fear in others.

3. Since i have no spouse my answer pertains to my son.....As terrible as it may sound, i hope he dies first because as hard as it may be i could (somehow) go on without him easier than he could without me.

I do not fear death. The big thing I would hate is leaving my loved ones here. I have lots of family waiting for me in heaven though.. would hate to get old and not be able to take care of myself anymore, hate to go to a nursing home also.
I know where Heaven and Hell are
I do not even want to think of me or my husband dying first. He says he hopes he goes first, that our daughter would need her mom, but then she is such a Daddy's girl, and he is so patient with her..
I do not fear death. I fear aging to the point that I am dependent on others for my basic needs, food, toileting, etc. I have never seen heaven or hell but have heard a lot about both and have my own theories. Based on the logistics of my family, I would hope that I survive my spouse. If I died first it would place such a tremendous pressure on her that she would closely follow in death.
Something most of us don't care to talk about, but yes as we get older , we tend to get up earlyer , as the make the days last & injoy as much as we can . not that I do that probley as much as I could or should, oh the day or few days that the time comes for us to pass in what ever way ,oh how we may wish we had these days back that we did nothing while we could for ourself or others. I am as just as guilty of wasteing a lot of time . lol like maybe reading or writing a post here !! My precious Moms was very independent lady & in her last few years could not do for herself & it was killing her pride to have others to have to care for her, yes I would not want that for myself or others, & with what we have gone thru , my wife & I married 43 years , I honestly don't know if she could handle it if something happened & I went first . Not saying it would easy for me if the other way . So yes I should try to take care of my health better than I do . For myself & her. oh WoW !! this is Deep !! well the sun is comeing thru & such go out & do a little yard work & injoy it Smiler let the ones you Love know it each day , by your actions as much as telling them
I fear death but I think most people fear death because of the unknown. Not really knowing the truth about death or what to expect. I do believe in God. For those that do not believe in God, that is their belief and I respect it. I just don't understand why someone would not believe in God. When you think about how everything in nature works together and how we as humans actually have a mind that can think and how we can remember things from years ago and how our bodies work, it's just hard to believe that there was some big bang that started all that. And I feel that I have had many prayers answered that some of you may call just coincedence. It's religion in my eyes that's bad, not God. And so many of us pretend to be Christians and we use God and this is what I feel that politicians have done to get votes and to make you think they are for morals and values, only to hide their corruption.

No way to tell ya how much more I respect you after reading this post. VERY well stated!



Have you seen the t-shirt that says on the front:
I BELIEVE IN THE BIG BANG THEORY!

And on the back it says:
GOD SAID IT AND BANG, IT HAPPENED.
Probably old age for me.... death would mean that my family would be taken care of... old age would mean that what would have went to my family would be paying for my care, year after year after year after year....

I love my family with all my heart, and I want to be a GOOD memory to them... if that makes sense.

I know I will never have to go to a nursing home... that has already been decided between my 2 girls... lol...

I know there is a HEAVEN that God will take me into, and HELL for me is just a pit/grave, everlasting death.

To answer 3, I will keep that one blank.

Great reply PBA!!!! If anyone, who does NOT believe in God would just sit and watch a woman announce pregnancy, watch her tummy grow for the EXACT time limit, start contractions, give birth to a little human being,.... and THEN start nursing immediately so the baby gets that clostrum out first for the baby's IMMUNITY system... and then, just like clockwork, baby nurses, uterus contracts going back into place,... Mom's milk starts coming down while baby is sleeping, and miraculously baby awakens HUNGRY...

There is NO BIG BANG to that, that is God, pure and simple.... and it is GLORIOUS!!!!

correction, a lot of people have doubted, and a mother's eyes, listen to Randy Travis song about "Have You Ever Seen An Angel". I have got that song and site somewhere can't find it.


Travis Randy

ANGELS

Me and some of the boys were sitting around the other night
Started talking about politics, religion, love and life
And what a shame it was about 9/11
And what about hell and what about heaven
And is there or isn't there angels on earth
And then one guy said
Well you can take that for what it's worth
If it's something I can see or something I can touch
Well I might believe in all that stuff
So I just had to say to him

Are you telling me that you've never seen an angel?
Never felt the presence of one standing by?
No robe of white
No halo in site
Well you missed the most obvious thing
Man, are you blind?
Just look in your mothers eyes

And then I said who went through the pain
And smiled through the tears on the day of your birth?
She counted your fingers and toes and thank god you were whole
Son you outta know who loved you first, that's right
And who always came running everytime you cried out
And how many more things have you forgotten about
And who tried their best to teach you wrong from right
And how many nights did she leave on the light
While she waited and prayed that you came in
And who'd be there for you right up to the end
Think about it tonight

Are you telling me that you've never seen an angel?
Never felt the presence of one standing by?
No robe of white
No halo in site
Well you missed the most obvious thing
Aww Man, are you blind?
Just look in your mothers eyes

Aww Man, are you blind?
Just look in your mothers eyes
That's right
