Who will you die with?

Is that too morbid a question? It sounds like a plane load of lobbyists just went down in Alaska. We generally don't choose our time of death but do choose who we hang with...

Alone, no question.

Of course, it's hard not to be "at work" when a tragedy strikes at that work, as these people on the plane were "at work."

That'll take a crazy person with a semi-automatic, I'm in the prime position for such a shooting.

Still, though, alone.

Make sure you leave a stack of hand-scrawled poems on the table.

I'm sorry, I don't get the poem reference. Maybe I seem too melon collie in my answer, but when a middle-aged woman has no children it's a huge possibility that her last hours will be alone.

Not the way I'd like it, but I don't see anything changing any time soon. It's really just the way it is. I'm a bit of a loner a lot of the time anyway (when I'm not a raging social butterfly) so it seems fitting.

I was referencing the thread about suffering or being quite dead for artistic recognition. Sorry about your collie today, keep your chin up kid.

Ah, yes. It's true. We've come full circle, as I said earlier I was the Vincent Van Gogh of...well, you know.

I'm just all kinds of collie lately. Mid-life crisis or something. Chin is up.

It's an interesting question. My mom was with my grandma when grandma passed away: I think mom wanted to be the only one there at that moment because it had always been those two struggling against the world, when my mom was growing up. It was important to her, I think.

For the good of mankind, I would be willing to die with Bin Laden, Limbaugh, Palin, The Pope, Kevin Costner, UG, Bill O'Reilly, The Dallas Cowboys, and Lady Gaga. Round 'em up!

Now THAT is a hero!

*swoon*

Just don't let Costner be all lamenting his impending death. I couldn't take his monotone monologue about seeing the light and crap.

Thought provoking question. At first I would say I want my family with me, but I'm not sure if that is selfish of me or not. Perhaps it would be good to say all those goodbyes ...

On the other hand perhaps it would be better to get hit by a train or taken out real quick without the fore-knowledge of the impeding event.

I hope to die with the wife/girlfriend of a jealous husband/boyfriend.

But, it'll prolly be alone.
