NO WAY JOSE'
There’s no way I could just party the last days away. You can do that any day.
I couldn’t accept doom so easily. I would have to find out the why & what if anything could be done to postpone it, if not stop it. Our President may have
a plan. But I know I’d want to have my family with me first of all. Then we’d
try to work with other volunteers to help prevent suicides. And how about the
children. We’d want to help them enjoy their last days here on earth; they
couldn’t possibly understand why…
End of Life
I would give all my possessions to those I care for.
And at the end of the ten days . . .
… what would they do with it?
If life were ending in 10 days..
I would continue to live as I do now! I cherish each and every day as tomorrow is never promised! I ensure that I spend as much time as possible with my family & friends and I live a good life. So, a 10 day countdown wouldn’t change a thing.
Last 10 days
I will re-watch all of LOST and time it so the last seconds of the finale end when the world does. What a great show!!! Thanks
What would I do
Have sex non-stop and eat gluttonly.
Spend all my money and max
Spend all my money and max out all my credit cards.
wow loaded question
i would spend it with those who mattered most to me preferably somewhere exotic and beautiful.
10 DAYS
I’d spend it with family and friends, the only things that matter.
Well...
Well…if I personally were terminal (for sure) in 10 days, I’d start running down my bucket list (skydive, bungie jump, cliff dive, scuba dive, etc). But if the would were ending, I would try and do something about it.
