The Last Farewell
Aging babyboomers are staring down the "end of life" gun barrel, and soon, it is off and away to darkness or another adventure, who knows?
However, we can have some fun with this upcoming, nonrefundable big ticket day. Or, pick up some ideas.
Some have allowed their carcasses to be towed out to sea and sunk (complete with cannonballs) onto manmade reefs for the fishes and underwater ecosystems benefit.
Others wish to stuff themselves with popcorn kernels and go out with a big bang under the flames of the crematorium.
Others want to have their corpses tossed off high cliffs to be disposed of by crows and varmints.
Personally, a dramatic send out a la King Arthur suits me... Set fire to the barge with me on it, pals drinking and hooting onshore.
Perfection.
How about your plans, or "wish you could" plan?

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Re: The Last Farewell
Oh God for a minute there I thought you were leaving Castanet.
Okay, fire/barge/booze on shore. What else could I order? Fireworks? Band? Alan's got the catering job in the bag.
As for me, I hope I get dumped in the Amazon River so the pirahanas finish me off in eight seconds, otherwise that National Geographic nature show I watched is one big lie.

As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

Re: The Last Farewell
Fireworks and catering. Good idea.
It's fun to think of the pirhanas picking their teeth after dining on a QK feast!![[icon_lol2.gif]](./images/smilies/icon_lol2.gif ":haha:")

ON a more serious note, I have no idea how I'd even get to the Amazon River. Insurance would cost a fortune.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. I’d have to think of what type of tree I would want to be. Maybe a ponderosa Pine so that I can live on to be a pain in the azz.

I want to be cremated. It's my only chance to ever have a smoking hot body.

Re: The Last Farewell
A buddy of mine has spoken for years of how he wants to go. In his mid-80's, shot by a jealous husband, while bailing out the back window of his paramour's house...! I hope he makes it.
My wife and I take slightly more pragmatic approach to shuffling off our mortal coils. We've both been thru the life-sucking experience of having aging parents failing, mentally and physically, going into care homes, and essentially living out their final days, unaware of their surroundings, or wishing they were gone. It's a brutal thing to go through. So both of us are amendment that we don't want to do that.
I had an elderly relative many years ago, who decided one day that he was merely putting in time. He was no longer enjoying life and there was zero chance that he ever would. He was not contributing to society, and in fact was a drain on it. So he stopped eating and drinking. Within 2 days he was in the hospital with a DNR, and a glass of water beside his bed, which he was free to drink at any time. He could have food for the asking. He quietly passed away a couple of days later.
Maybe that's what I'll do, when the time comes. I hope I'd have the courage...

Re: The Last Farewell
My one Grandpa spent 10 years of mostly bed care,
Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
My Pap; One, massive, fatal, heart attack.
I know my preference.
There's an old saying, slightly changed up by me;
"I want to die like my Dad, in my sleep, not screaming like
all the passengers on his bus !"

Treeguy, I love this idea of becoming a tree (nuts for me!).
It makes so much sense.... rather than graveyards for the dead, a tree for the living, instead.
Oops, I think I just made an advertising jingo.
