I'm sure we won't.... At least I hope not. I hope all of us die old ladies warm in our beds with a smile on our faces And then we'll all meet up on the other side ;D I can't think of any more questions...my mind's just one big blank...*thinks*...nope, I got nothing!

Oh...wonderful question! I would want lilies everywhere because they are my favourite flower and I would want poems read out...maybe even some of mine. I would like people to come up and speak about me honestly...just say how they felt, no long speeches or making me into some sort of saint or anything. Just straight from the heart stuff. Then I would want people to donate money to some sort of animal charity or something instead of paying for flowers or anything. Preferably a reptile charity because they are the best animals of all . Hmm...then maybe I'd want some music...one of my favourite songs that reminds people of me. I'd want it to be a time when people remembered who I was and what I did...it doesn't have to be all sadness. I think far too much about this How about everyone else?

Wow... after that I don't know what to say. I would want peonies to be amongst the place... ((that's my favorite flower... and one of my horses is named after them... they are simply divine smelling and nothing in the world compares)) As for music.... I don't know... at my grandfather's funeral they played "Never Walk Alone" and "Climb Every Mountain" Those were very powerful... I would want anyone and everyone to come... and I would want my church to have food available... I wouldn't want it to be tragic or anything... I mean... that time comes for everyone eventually... I live my life everyday how I want to and make the best out of everything... and those who know me know that

Hm... cremation. The ashes would be thrown from a plane over the pilot's choice of land (as long as it's not a desert). I'm not picky. Only a few people could go, what with a limit on the plane and how many people I really want crying over my body. Nothing big or fancy; I don't want to be made into a diamond or anything of that ilk. Simple.

Thanks for sharing Arenas.
Now we are going to take a Johnny movie look at this...
Would you rather.... have your eyes gouged out ((like Sands))
OR....
A limb cut off... ((like in Donnie Brasco))

No problemo. I think it would depend. Which limb are we talking about here? Since it is an exremity, you can always get a peg leg, prosthetic arm, etc. You can't really bounce back too well from having your eyes turned into jelly. Then again, it's just like any other hadicap, people go blind, they adjust and as long as you can get medical help for the bleeding I wouldn't doubt you could eventually live with it. With that narrowed down... I still don't know. Things would be easier with just a prosthetic limb, but it'd be too easy and to be stubborn I'd say no eyes but then I don't know if I'd just go insane from a lack of color... Maybe to be fair I'd say all or nothing. No conflict. That was way too hard.

LOL sorry for the hard question... I'm just trying to get some conversation started here. I would say..... if they had to take something take my arm off.... ((right that is)) ....cause I am an avid horse rider... and I only need my left hand for that

Priorities, of course. Keyboards come with bumps on the f and j keys so if you know how to type, you can always type fairly accurately by feel alone so my writing wouldn't really by affected... but I wouldn't be able to participate in JA. That wouldn't be fun. Maybe I could hound some luckless friend and they'd read everything for me... With no arm, my typing would get terrifically worse, no leg, that just wouldn't be pleasant anyway. If it was a matter of who I could manipulate to ease the transition... I say eyeless for kicks... But other wise, I'd just say take a limb, any limb, just make sure I'm too far out of it to care.

Ha ha.... yeah, if enough pain pills are involved it wouldn't really matter one way or the other.... but my horses would quickly figure out if I had no eyes... my pony would probably run me into a tree or something ((aint he cute?)) LOL....

Gosh! I would hate to go blind much more than I would hate to lose a limb (not that that would be a picnic or anything ) Not seeing anything again would probably kill me... I am an avid writer so I would kind of prefer (that HAS to be the wrong word) to lose a leg...jeez, what a devilish question Roo, good on you! It's nice to have to think about something before answering. I also wouldn't be able to look after all the reptiles I plan to keep if I was blind...admittedly it would be pretty tricky with one leg but I reckon sheer determination alone would get me through.

Hehe... I love tough decisions... 'long as I don't have to make them in real life.... then I'd never be able to do it... "If ya know what I mean" Hmmmmm............. Would you rather sufficate or drown? ((yuck they both sound awful!))

wow... I'm glad I got to skip out on the previous question...*shudder* I think I would rather be suffocated... becasue they are almost the same except with water your gulping in loads of water into your lungs... not that suffocating sounds fun... but it seems a lot better to me

LOL.... yeah... I see the pros. of that... Then again.... I think there might be more honor in drowning ((now you're probably going WTH are you talking about Roo? Honor in drowning?)) --Example-- You could be trying to break a world record of holding your breath under water Suffocating... is someone slapping a bag over your head....
