How are you going to die?

[WitawatWatawit]

Jeez, 30 posts in 40 minutes. Either you're all jihadists getting ready to strap up, or a bunch of old sheilas wandering how many minutes off your life that next biscuit will take. :)

I have so much joy to look forward in my life that the concept of dying is decades away for me.

 

Not that I'm immortal ... just that based on the lifespan of my parents (passed in their 80's) and relatives, most of whom are in their nineties ... that's at least a generation away.

 

I feel for the OP though.

 

The glow of the setting sun no longer warms his skin ... and that has to be a tough gig.

 

So, for me ... the focus is more on what I can achieve in the next 30 or 40 years then contemplating how eventually I will leave this mortal coil.

.

 

This really is not the attitude to go through life with.

Your time is not guaranteed.

Best to get it through your head that you can go at any time and make the most of today.

 

I take it one day at a time; happy to see the sun rise every day and thankful.  Pain is just another way of knowing I'm not dead yet.

As about milking, the good doctor told me to avoid practicing in excess.
Even tried to change my avatar, but the system wouldn't accept it.........I said the system..........

So... you aren't Greek? Does this mean you have nothing to do SYRIZA either? Bummer.

 

 

Never supported those idiots.

To tell you the truth, considering the state Greece is now, I wouldn't discount the thought of General Prayuth helping us.

Cost as have you been trying to milk any badgers recently ?

OP, why not really depress yourself and consider the chances of suffering cognitive degeneration in old age. 

 

Thailand has imported masses of old men large numbers of whom will suffer dementia of one form or another - Putting aside individuals affording life assurance I wonder if Thailand has figured out the extent of the welfare disaster it has imported.

lifespan of my parents ? then I am already dead..

 

Mother, her younger Sister and 2 younger Brothers died in there 40's, even my younger 3 Cousin's have already died some years ago..  another 4 years and will have out lived my father and both sets of Grand parents.. Non died due to any accident.

 

Don't think lifespan of parents has much to do with it.

For many this may well be the reality.

So, you'd bleed just to know you're alive?

My most pleasurable way to die is similar to a lot of posters with the exception that my ATM card was empty,holding a cigarette in 1 hand,in the other a glass of beer,with between my legs yep you guessed it a hottie not the gf lol.

Yes, wife died, the family cant/wont take care of him.

Yes, he is the only farang in there, the other 30 or so residents are all Thai, costs about 18k per month.

On the floor, with two bar girls trying to rip my last 1000 baht out of my cold, dead hands.

 c section was it?

[GarryP]

Viagra overdose at 90 years old - in a water bed with 3 leggy Thai girls - huge smile still on face long after death.

It could be a bit embarrassing when they are unable to close the coffin lid. But you would certainly be remembered.

I doubt you'd fit. A bit selfish too. Think of the pain you would cause some innocent woman, trying to climb back in

That happens anyway due to rigor mortis.

Hopefully ball deep.  (But it ain't likely)

You should hook up with WhamBam - seems like the two of you have a lot in common.

Just like everyone else; a lack of oxygen to the brain.

Actually it is a very important question for older people planning on never leaving Thailand.  If you are going to die of natural causes at home or fade away gradually hooked up to expensive stuff at the hospital.  My father died peacefully at home and my mother died after two years in a nursing home.  Me, I'd rather go like dad. Maybe it will be my choice or maybe not.  I don't know.  But most of the men I know who have died in Thailand did not use long term health care on the last journey.
