Prepare for a personal dark future - NOW

[georged]

The Laws of Thermodynamics rule all, and sure enough, like it or not, one day you'll be dead.
So, triple up on your health insurance, buy all the term insurance you can, replace all stairs in your house with wheelchair ramps and lifts, trade your car in for a handicap-equipped van, start vetting home nurses, pre-buy as many cases of commonly prescribed meds for seniors as possible, make goodbye videos to your friends and family, buy and pre-decorate your burial plot (or urn), and so on. As long as you're at it, research cryogenic resuscitation and and buy space in a freeze pod.
I mean, only a complete fool would wait even a day on this stuff. Why worry and be miserable tomorrow when you can be miserable today?

Brilliant suggestions!

LMFAO! :clap:

Yes, we all, sooner or later, achieve a state where worrying about the future is simply no longer necessary.

Who was it who slept in his coffin? Not Dracula, an actual person. Prepare for a bright upbeat future and you might see at least a little of it.

Only two things in life are guaranteed...death and taxes

I hold my pipe up to the doomsdayers, but sorry guys I'm just not buying into it. As long as I'm on the green side of the grass I've got plenty more to do than think about death.

Dottie, all I see at work is death and destruction. I don't worry about this stuff too much, but I do have a well stocked cellar. ::

Sounds like you have quite an interesting job.
About 20 years ago I worked for a coroner service and I would handle cadavers on a day to day basis. I couldn't detach myself enough to stick at it for long. I did, however, develop a deep respect for law enforcement officers and firefighter; it really put things into perspective!

Carpe Diem !! I'm still cleaning up from a personal dark PAST, so no time to plan a dark future. 8)

My cremation is already paid for, and guaranteed. :wink:

Chasingembers, are you going to do it Viking style on a boat? I'd imagine your pipes and your cellar would be lit underneath you so you can take it all to Valhalla. Just gotta make sure youu hide it well while crossing the bifrost. Not sure what kind of import tax they have, or if they limit the amount you bring.

Wow I just got married yesterday.

 

[cossackjack]

Andy,

Congratulations.

Best wishes & health to you both for a long & joyous marriage!

Actually, I have a very demented sense of humor, I have commissioned a commode shaped urn, and wanted my funeral to be a rave, but your idea may change things! :mrgreen:
