    I was in the sauna last night thinking about this and i couldn't really think of an answer:

    If the grim reaper walked up to you and asked you after what accomplishment in your life you had to die after what would it be?

    I'm just wondering what you guys would say to this for curiosity's sake. And please no bullshit answers like after i kill the grim reaper:p

    this is a hard question. I would say seeing all three of my children grow up, have careers and see my great grandchildren.

    well, my reason for choosing that was because it's likely to result in the longest possible life for me without just being stuck alone floating in space in the distant future...

    but yeah, that would be a pretty amazing thing to witness anyway

    I dont think I would really want to see the end of the world. I think I may have dreams about it, and my ex is always right there trying to help keep me and the girls safe, I think I send him out some where so that he is the first to go.

    my sister and I saw the grim reaper while stoned in yosemite. he was over by the bathroom moving back and forth and back and forth, our husbands didnt buy it, but to this day we know we saw something.

    probably just some asshole screwing around.

    I don't think I'm here to accomplish things, as much as to go on with PRACTICE.

    After I'd written and published a semi-autobiographical novel...

    Or after I'd scored the winning goal for Ireland in the World Cup final.

    I think I could die relatively happy after either/both of those.

    I always wanted to fall in love, like really really fall in love with the romance and growing old together and all that jazz. then when my spouse dies, I'll be ready to go. is that an acceptable answer?

    i'm not interested in setting up goals for myself that i'm likely to die in frustration of not fulfilling. besides, it isn't about myself as such that i care about, but about the kind of world we all have to live in, not just for my own healing of anxiety and fullfilling of gratification, but for everybody that has to live on and in it.

    so i'm not about what i'm going or not going to accomplish, but about this world and the people of it, getting their/our 'act' togather.

    i'd like to see humanity growing up enough for earth to qualify to join the galactic 'united nations'

    there's lots of things i'd love to see come about, but not really all that many i can reasonably EXPECT to. in the next few decades i have left, they COULD all happen. it's just not that they can be expected to.

    I don't understand the question. Do I have to choose something to accomplish and then must I die afterwards? I'd rather accomplish nothing a carry on living thank you very much.

    Tie a string, perfectly aligned with the prime meridian, around the world, made out of bubble gum, and, I'd have to fix it every time it broke or went off-line.

    I do not measure my life by some meager accomplishments and do not believe in the grim reaper... so I do not know what to tell you.

    You must be at least somewhat rich to be able to go to a sauna, can I borrow 100$?

    And to answer the question, nothing...

    I don't think you saw the "grim reaper" as...

    a. it is a fictional character
    b. it is a fictional character
    c. like jesus christ, something no living person has seen and bares no relation to what the truth is.


    I'd be happy to meet whom ever when I have had made mad passionate love to Cate and Mystical shroom...the dilema would be : who first.

    No, in all seriousness, I'd like to go after I have saved a life.
    THE ultimate sacrifice.
