Where I live we have a fire department to put out real fires, in fact I am pretty sure that in the employee handbook, it specifically says, in case of an actual fire, get your behind out of the building and let the fire department put it out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do yall get to say yall on that side of the world? Lunch will be left over shrimp and kielbasa. I haven't thought about supper yet.but chicken lo mein is a strong possibility. Or maybe mushroom burgers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... decades of communication with US-Americans do leave some habits I practised English since 7th grade . in '80/81, read a lot, wrote with penpals, had phone calls and later skype calls with American friends. When I traveled around in the USA in '91 and '94, I usually was asked which *state* I came from, not which country. Nobody believed me at first when I told them that I came from, and grew up in, EAST Germany, Edited April 20, 2017 by sweetgem Clemenceau 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetgem Clemenceau Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 YES. I mean, why not? If i knew that date and time, I could prepare my family and friends so that my death wouldn't be a sudden shock for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Huntress Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I would open it for similar reasons. I am looking at retirement before long and it is a concern about having enough invested and saved to cover the rest of my life. If I knew the expiration date I would know exactly how much longer I need to work. That way I could maximize the amount of time I could spend with family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skell Dagger Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) 21 minutes ago, Rhonda Huntress said: If you were given an envelope with the the time and date of your death inside, would you open it? Absolutely not. In fact, I would burn it. I would rather live my life as an ongoing and enjoyable thread of existence, rather than seeing a sharp pair of scissors hovering in the distance and getting ever closer. Those metaphorical scissors would constantly catch my eye, and - as they drew closer - I'd start living in a state of fear (even though I'm not afraid of death) that I won't have enough time to do everything I want to do. ETA: Slight edit (the struck-through text) because - after posting this - I realised that my words intimated that people who did choose to open the envelope and know the exact time and date of death would not enjoy existence. That's not what I intended, hence the edit. Edited April 20, 2017 by Skell Dagger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take the envelope, but I don't think I'd open it right away. I am sure I would, at some point, but not today. However, like Talligurl, I'd want to know the origin of the information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I want the envelope. If I'm dying sooner rather than later, I need to increase my traveling so I can see as much of the world as possible before I go. If I'm living much longer than anticipated, I might need to bump the savings a bit to be able to keep traveling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a bug free script, it's a Miracle. If you were given an envelope with the the time and date of your death inside, would you open it? Sure I'd open it. But there's still a lot of uncertainty. Do I die 127 seconds after falling out of a hot air balloon onto the spire at the top of the Chrysler building, or 62 years after falling into a coma that leaves me alert, in pain, and unable to communicate.

Xerxes Kingstop Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 If I knew when death would come it would be much easier to orchestrate my ultimate life goal: to make my last words be "I hid three million dollars in" . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a bug free script, it's a Miracle. If you were given an envelope with the the time and date of your death inside, would you open it? *Is drawn to the presence of death in the thread* Fascinating question. For me, I seek knowledge, wisdom and the truth of all things in this life and so I would want to know. Yes I would open it. Do I think it would make me happy to know?, I expect not, it could quite probably sap all enjoyment out of the rest of my life just as surely as if I just learned I had cancer and only a short time to live. There is never enough time, no matter how long away it may seem. Knowledge often doesn't bring happiness but that is no reason to resist seeking it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morbidity only occurs when we are unsettled by the subject matter, there is a need for people to ask these questions. It reminds us to reflect upon the bigger picture from time to time, even if that unsettles us. I hope you continue to ask questions like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
