Of course, when you get older, you begin to think more about the final encore.

 

However, I don't worry too much about dying – when I'm, gone there is either no more, or I'm in a Seventh Heavens og some place below – but rather the time before. Who will take care of me, and how will it work out?

 

I have a fairly younger than me girlfriend, and the original deal is that I took care of her – and still does – and she will in return take care of me when I get old enough to need caretaking. The only aber dabai is, if it will work that expected way in the end, when I get old and more grumphy than now, and even beginning to forget...

Here is as good a place as any and they throw great wakes.

Wouldn't bother me where I die. If I'm dead, I'm dead... Just throw my corpse out of the way and let me decompose so I can give back to the Mother Earth what I have taken to sustain my life.

 

The dead don't feel anything, it's the living that suffer the loss...

Then, in this case, you are lucky you are not a sailor, one who might be buried at sea, as so many sailors have been, throughout the ages.

 

 

I did almost 21 years in the US Navy and no i wasn't buried at sea.  In other words I'm still alive and kicking

Same here, Thai wife is eleven years younger than I. However, things can change. In October 2024 she was diagnosed with stage 2-3 breast cancer. Read that chemotherapy ages you by 10-15 years. Plus, leaves you more susceptible to leukaemia.
