That'll be the day!!
Personally I wouldn't want to know. 
If I found out, it would sadden me to get things in order for the ones that are dearest to me.
Once that had been sorted, I would feel that I needed to everything i've always wanted to do, in the space of time I had, whether it was in 6 months or 20 years.
It would take out the spontinatey (wrong spelling I Know
) out of life, and an ergency would take over, Then the waiting........ for the day. I couldn't bear it. :cry:

If I did that, would it mean that by default I would then live forever?!
No matter, I intend to live forever anyway, if only just to annoy the snot out of my kids!

Hmmmm interesting.....I wouldn't want to know I think.....
Some people might think that they WOULD want to know because then they can do all those things that they've been putting off....but isn't the point of life that you live it? You shouldn't put things off, you should just live your life....
A friend once said to me that she would be happy if she died tomorrow because she felt like she had done everything that she wanted to....I can't say I feel the same but maybe this will give me a kick up the backside not to put things off and say "one day, if only"...
Oooops, sorry this got a bit serious....

Nope, I wouldn't want to know.
If I did, would it alter how I spent my last days? You betcher!!
I would contact anyone I felt I'd ever hurt, used or disappointed, and apologise. Clean the slate and all that.
I'd then find some cave where I could go, sit, think and get my own head in order, so that I might go 'at peace with myself and the world' and not:
'Rage, rage against the dying of the light' (Dylan Thomas).
I'd plant as many trees as I could physically manage.
I'd finish writing my books
I'd walk as much of Shropshire as time allowed
I'd write individual letters to all my family to explain how much I loved them, and how proud I was of them, and that they mustn't be sad because I was living on, in them.
I wouldn't tell my friends, but would spend as much time with them as I could, without the awkwardness and restraint that their knowing would bring.
I'd listen to an awful lot ofTallis
I go and see as much art as I could
I'd read through as much Shakespeare as I had time to
I wouldn't miss another sunrise until the big day came
But when it came, I'd rush the bastard, head on, and laugh with joy...
So, tell me my friends, why don't I do that now??
(answers on a postcard please...)

First part of your question, no, definately not, far too scarey! :shock: :shock:
Second part, I had a very nasty health scare about 6 years ago, that I'd convinced myself I wouldn't get over. Yes it changed my life dramatically. :violin:
Until then, I'd spent my whole life trying to please everyone else, but not any more.
:banghead:
I've become much more assertive (well, just a little bit)! I now say no a lot more, when I used to say yes to everything!!!
I now do a lot more to please myself, which doesn't go down very well with the people that used to walk all over me. :kick: :kick:

I don't think I would want to know but knowing that I could find out if I wanted to would prove to be too tempting.
If I found out that I was going to live to a ripe old age then I would do my upmost to put the date out of my mind (easier said than done). If I was lined up for an early death I think it would change the remainder of my life. I would be split between ensuring that my loved ones were looked after and enjoying every day to the full.
That reminds me, I must get round to making a w.............................. Oh, oh!! Nearly said it then. Must get round to making a hmm hmm ll.

For me it has to be that I dont want to know. As I reach my mid forties and bits and pieces of me have started to not work as they should or at the very least complain when I ask them too, I have started to think of how vulerable I am and how very very short our lives are. I know that I have so much more to do yet dont know what those things are which makes very little sense but there it is.
As a couple we are now nearing 30 tears together and are still very much each others best friend and each others rock. I am blessed with a family that is full of laughter, full of love for each other and is not something that I am ready to relinquish.
At this time I want to go on and on and whilst this attitude may change with circumstances and experiances yet to be uncovered I would hate for my hopes to be blighted by any prior knowledge.
Our lives as a family have no grand plan and bumbles along in its own happy way, aided by blisssfull ignorance of what the future holds in store for us and I for one want to keep it that way.

I was talking to a female colleague at work last week who has a friend in a hospice with only a few weeks left to live. This friend is only in her twenties and I couldn't imagine doing some of the things I was told she was doing: Arranging her own funeral, ringing people up to make sure they could make it to the funeral, writing out 18th and 21st Birthday cards for her daughter and giving them to a relative to pass on at the appropriate time, writing farewell letters to all the people she knew.............
Nope, I don't want to go there. Surprise me.

Now then, all those that don't want to know should avoid going to this link!! 
:roll:
Apparently I am going to snuff it on Monday 27th July 2036. :shock: :shock: :shock: Well it is going to be a right boozy weekend before that Monday!! Mind you I would be 73 then so I think I would settle for that!! :lol: :lol:

Well, if the prediction is right, I am going to be a lot younger than sarge when I die! :shock:
Bearing in mind that I am not yet as old as my late brother was when he left us I am far from confident!! Still, I have selected the organist for my funeral and at least some of what I want him to play. What more can I do? Apart from invite some of my closest friends, albeit virtual, to come and have a party. Watch this space

Not for me thanks either - I daren't even follow that link :shock:
MrFC - I think you hit it on the head, it would take all the spontaneity out of life. I just realised that as well as the fact that it would be very scary to find out it was soon, if it turned out I had another 60 years, I would get even lazier and more complacent than I am now...

I tried the death clock thingy. At first I was going to live unil a ripe old age of 52!?
I thought that was a little too young for me, so off I go and asked for another opinion. Ah, that's better. 87 and die the day before my birthday. I must of had a party early.
I think the probably will live forever, not in the sense as Venus is wanting but within some obscure piece of work. Something that can and will change peoples perception on something. I'll be buggerd what though.
I would like to know when I will pass on. I'm a firm believer on re-encarnation and I believe I have been kind and helpful to all I meet and see so the next life shall be a step upwards. I don't think I would change the way I would live my life. I am happy that I can bring a smile to my firends and families faces.

I die on Thursday April 29th 2004 :shock: , which is a bit of a pisser as i'll missed the munch 
, only saving grace is that a few months ago said i'd be dead by March 24 th 2004 , Guess i'm a Zombie then :P .
, only saving grace is that a few months ago said i'd be dead by March 24 th 2004 , Guess i'm a Zombie then :P . I'd take no notice of the stupid death clock. I just tried a relative in the clock and it told me she'd died in 1975. I am so glad it was wrong. I have learnt so much from her, have cared for her for over 6 years. I love my 91 year old Nan and thats where I am off to now.
I don't want to know. I'm scared of dying and not seeing my children turn into men as it is. I tell them I love them and how proud they make me all the time. I tell my best friend I love her almost every time I speak with her and make sure my friends know I care about them a great deal. Hopefully I won't have hurt or offended too many people.
But knowing when my time would be up would change the person I am. Good or bad, I don't want to do that.

PHEWW!!!
Thought I'd try it again, silly me
made myself an inch taller than I really am so after rectifying it I am now destined to live till August 30th 2033.
That's better but perhaps I should stil live life to the full! :shock: NO, WAIT ! if I do that it may bring on premeture death so in hindsight perhaps the first date was right!!
Oh now i'm confused :? :?
