    If You Knew

    If you knew you had 24 hrs to live, what would you do? How about a week?

    I would go over some things with my wife (insurance, accounts, etc.). Then I would call people for a couple of hours and tell 'em goodbye. I'd spend the rest of the time with my immediate family.

      I'd test out a saw stop without using a hotdog.

        I don't have to review anything with LOML. We do that yearly, and it's all listed and written.

        I'd buy a keg, order a few pizzas, and invite my friends to a kegger and pizza party. For a few hours.

        Then sit in front of the fire with LOML and some good wine. Who cares if it's summer? Let the AC run and light the fire! And I don't mean just in the fireplace!

          Asking what I'd do if I knew I had 24hrs to live presumes I am not dying of sickness since I am well enough to do what I want to do. So I wouldn't do whatever it was that killed me.

            Having 24 hrs is a very short time to tie up loose ends of sorts. But, with a week, I might contact those wonderful people that had a positive impact on my life, and thank them for their friendship.

            And then there's some old scores to settle.

              I'd go to the local store and buy a roll of lifesavers, take them home and start eating them in my living room.

                I don't think I've pulled an all-nighter since college, but I sure as heck would give it a try!

                I'd spend each of the 86,400 seconds with my best friend, and when she dozes off, I'd hold a conference call with my 6 brothers, 3 sisters, and their families. A week would be enough time so we could all go away somewhere together. I'd love visit to Ireland again.

                  24 hours: a quick review of where everything is and the value of some items that my wife isn't familiar with such as tools. Then, a day off school for the g.kids and off work for the kids, go to the cabin and have a fun day of cooking out and riding the ATV, mountainboarding down the hill, falling asleep in each other's arms and me being carried by the angels to my Dad's side.

                  A week: All of the above x's 7.
                  Blessings,
                  Chiz

                    Hey Cab,

                    Somehow we "twisted" think alike. I got a long list of names and I need to hone my 1000 meter (s)kills.

                    Don't worry, toy didn't make the "A" list.

                      After thinking about this, I decided i would probably go on as usual. Wouldn't let LOML know as it would just upset her. Get up, go to work, come home. Besides my life insurance has a clause that if I die at work it pays double, that would set the family up nicely.
