If you had 5 months left to live?

Recommended Posts

I got paper on psych 101 asking if you had 5 months left to live how would you live those 5 months and what would you do. I want to know what you would do? How would you feel? My psych professor knows I skydive and he wants the views of a thrill seekers/risk takers.

I'd call it "the bucket list". :P

Not sure what I'd like to do though but one of them would be getting to fly an Extra 300L acrobatic plane one more time. I had a blast in my brother's best friend's 300 11 years ago and he let me do whatever stunt I wanted to try at the controls at 3000 to 5000 feet. All he did was handle take off and landing. B| Maybe a ride-along with the Blue Angels too. :)

Are you absolutely positive you are dying?

Hate to find out it was a misdiagnosis when the law, creditors, husbands, etc. catch up with ya. :P

I guess it depends on the circumstances.

Five months to live while slowly dying of cancer or five months of healthy life waiting for an asteroid collision that will wipe out all life on the planet. Makes a difference I think.

I would no longer be the sweet, shy, innocent deedy so many have gotten to know. I would do everthing I normally would not. >:(

I would no longer have naughty thoughts, I would just be naughty all the time. :)

Never turn down an offer for sex.

Become a frequent shopper at an adult toy store.. :)

I would no longer use the terms whatnotts and whoha's.

I am sure I would do a lot more then this but it would be a good start. :D

You know how many sloppily written, mis-spelt letters you're going to receive now on dodgy looking hospital headed paper from skydivers? :D

"We regret to inform you...."

:P




I'm sure I will get a few PMs about this...

Here is what Tim McGraw say's about it...
(his Dad, Tug McGraw was diagnosed with terminal cancer and this is what the song was about...)

He said I was in my early forties
with a lot of life before me
when a moment came that stopped me on a dime
and I spent most of the next days
looking at the x-rays
Talking bout the options
and talking bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in
that this might really be the real end
how's it hit you when you get that kinda news
man what'd you do

and he said
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I?d been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.

He said I was finally the husband
that most the time I wasn't
and I became a friend a friend would like to have
and all the sudden going fishin
wasn't such an imposition
and I went three times that year I lost my dad
well I finally read the good book
and I took a good long hard look
at what I'd do if I could do it all again

and then
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.

Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about
what'd you do with it what did you do with it
what did I do with it
what would I do with it?

Sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
and then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I watched an eagle as it was flying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.

I agree, it depends on the circumstances. They gave my mom 6 months to live and we had 2. We had all kinds of plans to take trips, to go see the ocean one more time, to travel up the shores of Lake Superior, and to spend as much time together as possible talking and laughing about the good times. None of it happened. She deteriorated too fast.

Given the chance to do it again, I would have started cherishing every moment a lot sooner, re-living the memories, take a trip when she was feeling good and was able to walk/talk etc. Learned how to cook my favorite meals, cookies. And just in general spent more time together. These are things I regret.

Or if it was myself, I would be thankful for every day, spend more time with friends, visit Mexico as much as possible, and do everything possible to fulfill everything I've wanted to see or do. Shop like no tomorrow, see the ocean, play the slots in Vegas, go to Disney, and make sure that my last wishes would be fulfilled. I'd open up about my life experiences and things I've lied about, regrets I've had, hearts I've broken. I'd forgive old friends for old fights we had, spend more time with the ones I love. And of course, make one more skydive.

Not picking on you in particular, but the only way some people would resolve things is if they were dying? :S

If you wait until then you may never get the chance. [:/]

I'm guessing the "Dear Deedy..." or "Dear d_squared431..." might be a giveaway too. :P
