I honestly don't worry about my own death, but I do hope that DH and I die in a common catastrophe. I don't know if either of us can survive scattering the other's ashes.
Martinelli's Sparkling Cider is always a hit at our festive occasions. Hehehehunclemick2 said:Still need to iron out some details - found some purveyors of Mead on the internet - is it worth the trouble? - or should I pencil in kegs of beer for the drinkers and coffee for the non drink crowd.
End of the week - should be all set to croak - and then Bon Temps Rolliere until the time arrives.
heh heh heh
Yes! DW and I want to be holding each other in bed when a comet makes a direct hit and obliterates us - scattering our ashes - no cremation expense! ....shinyjenn said:I honestly don't worry about my own death, but I do hope that DH and I die in a common catastrophe.

Jennifer 8 said:Unclemick...barenjager (may be misspelled) is a honey liquer with "other stuff" in it that isnt too far off from "mead", although its more of a high octane liquer than the beer-like mead. Available in any store. I vaguely remember having a lot of sex after drinking it. Sometimes there were even other people involved.
Martha said:A coworker's father died of Alzheimer's disease not long ago.... Not a bad way to go; oblivious to reality.
I can't argue with those sentiments, but Thomas DeBaggio managed to write not just one but two books on the subject from the first-person perspective.lazygood4nothinbum said:i can not imagine a more horrible or undeserved death than alzheimer's.
you think it is oblivion? you think it is not a bad way to go? you think just because someone can not communicate in a way you understand that they do not understand? well, good for you.

Listen, I'm not debating your hard-earned expertise or your viewpoint. No offense intended.lazygood4nothinbum said:i'm familiar with the author but haven't read the books to which you refer. do they mention how he can no longer bathe himself? how people strip him everyday? how strangers wipe his ass for him? does it mention choking on food because his body forgets how to swallow? does it mention what it is like to no longer learn in life? to no longer grow in life? because that is the inevitable progress of this disease. i would wish anyone the best in their decisions and would help where i can but i have no intention to wait for any of that for myself.

Nords said:I'm not debating your hard-earned expertise or your viewpoint. No offense intended. My point is that most people will hang around to see what happens next... Even if you nominate someone to pull the switch for you, I wouldn't want my best buddies to carry that burden around for the rest of THEIR lives.
Eagle43 said:Speaking of Alzheimers prevention, is cholesterol a player? I have heard that the satin drugs seem to delay/prevent it, but they don't seem to have been around long enough to verify that.
