...to live.
It will be painless. What do you different, or do you do the exact same thing you are doing now?
Only things are:
1) You can't mention to anyone about your impending death (otherwise you will immeadiately die in your worst scenario imagined).
2) Just you will die, not anyone else (I include this claus for those here that are close friends for example NUKE and Steve).
Something philisophical to give the whining fingerpointing a rest ;)
Do you pursue a different career? Spend more time with friends and family? What do you do?

I'd run a tit bar!

Go to medical school.

Stop being a ****head

I'd go back to college if I had 10 years to live.......maaan, all those years of partying and smoking Christ-knows-what. Oh wait, I do that now anyway. Disregard.

hmmmm well I'd have to break it into two choices:
the moral choice:
do what some people referr to as "God's work" helping any living soul I can and not expecting a thing out of it.
The Fun choice:
I would get off my lazy ass, quite eating frito pies, and then get back into shape. After that I would attempt to qualify for SF: combat para rescue, Forward air controller, CSAR or something High speed low drag that I'm likely to get killed doing but because of saburos rules I know I wont.

Good point, are we unable to die before the 10th year? ;)

Not if you do something worthy of the Darwin Award. You could die before the 10 years is up. You won't be invincible.
For those going to school, your 10 year deadline starts after you graduate (only if you make a true effort in graduating in a reasonable amount of time, not a class per semester for 20 years).

Have another child and spend as much time with them as possible. My daughter died at 3 and it's my only real regret in life that I have'nt found the right woman to have another with.
-
An intensely personal topic with specific answers for each individual.
For me, it is all about minimizing regrets. When you talk to people who know their time is soon at hand, they regret not having persued their youthful dreams. They wanted to play the violin, fly a plane, become a professional tennis player or any number of things.
They regret words they said and actions they did.
They regret not spending time with the people they wanted to, and regret not doing the things they simply wanted to do, but put them off as things to do 'later' when they had the time to do them.
No one says they regret not spending more time at a job they didn't love.
-
Quit work and spend 9 years and 364 days enjoying life, both volunteering for people that need assistance and completely doing things self-centered.
The last week I'd take someone with me, preferably some dirt-bag that doesn't deserve life. Reminds me of the guy who entered a court room, shot the convicted molester who was about to be sentenced, and said, "You'll never do that to anyone else." I'd like to do that for a family...
-
10 years or tomorrow, I'd live it the way I am now. The best I can.
My heart goes out to you RPM, Nothing hurts like that.
-
I'd go skydiving, rocky mountain climbing
I'd spend two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu man chu
I would love deeper, speak sweeter
And I give forgiveness I’d been denying
:D

first time I ever agreed with rolex...
I have allways lived like I was gonna die soon. My lifestyle seemed like it was inevitable... oddly... I have outlived most of my friends. I find this ironic. Living with no regrets tho means different things at different times of your life.
this is as it should be. I once quit a very good job because I was 23 and they had a retirement meeting... In it the guy told me just where I would be when I was 65. The thought of knowing where I would be scared me so much I quit before the month was up and rebuilt my old Harley.

Finally learn to play the guitar ( I've always thought I had time)
I don't know about having another child.... he/she would be 10 yrs when they lose their father..
Move to somewhere beautiful and write down as many lessons I've learned about life, to be passed on to my little girl, so I can still help her get through it in some way.
I can think of of few people that I would like to take with me too.....
-
I'd retire immediately.
-
If you were smart you would always live your life like you had ten years or less to live.

Hell... If I'd have done that, I wouldn't have children.
... and I wouldn't have married either.

So does that mean I shouldn't save any money for retirement???
boy, that's a relief.......:rolleyes:
-
have so much fun that those 10 years will shrink to 5.
-
The question was live your life, not plan your finances.
-
I'd do what I'm doing now. I already spent most of my adult life in service one way or another. Rigt now, full time RV'ing seems a great way to see as much of this country as I can and experiance as many different things as I can.
I've lived with death enough already for both myself and family. It can wait, I won't hold my breath for it. ;)
-
The reality of it is you have to make a choice.
You are already locked into a lifestyle; family, job, hobbies, debts, homeownership, etc.. People have links to you and you to them.
Are you really going to make any major changes in those relationships? You still have obligations, you still have to support people.
The idea that "yeah, I'm just going to chuck all this and go do things I want to do" ala "Easy Rider" (Pete Fonda tosses his wristwatch away) isn't an easy decision.
Ask me how I know.
-
Toad,
It can be an easy decision and darn fun too. ;)
Ask me how I know.......:p

Id have sex change, become a lesbian and run a tit bar.
:D

I'd keep doing the things I do now. I wouldn't want it any other way. Even though I don't love my job it pays the bills and I like the people I work with. Besides getting to spend almost every day at home with my two boys and the woman I have loved from the first time I talked to her is the only way I want to go out of here.
My only regret is that my chance to join the military was pulled out from under me by a wrecked knee the day I was headed to the recruiters office after practice. I was US Navy bound and of course like the invincible 20 year old kid I was in 1991 all I wanted was a chance to go to BUD/S and be a SEAL. The simple fact that I was not able to do that was only offset by the intense friendships that I then developed among my college teammates. And the way I worked to get back to be able to play again. That is my only regret and its offset by my being a part of something that I think is great in helping start a new college football program at UAB back then.

I'd commit industrial espionage, then I'd go to fed prison and get 50 years easy time, in a nice luxury apartment with conjugal visits.
....much better than the lousy ten years YOU gave me

For those that can, but haven't, why not try for those things you've always wanted to do? When it's your time to go, can you say you can go without regrets? For most of you, you'll have waaay more than a ten year limit!
Wombatt,
Go for it! Enroll and complete med school! What an honorable profession!
Gunny,
You can do both at the same time! Imagine rescuing our brave downed pilots AND administering the God's work! Noble!
Rpm,
I hope you find the right woman. You seem to be made of the "Right Stuff" to rear another child. Your motives are good.
Rolex, JimBear, Lazs2, Maverick, Reschke, Lizking,
Right on!
Delirium,
Maybe you can do some part time volunteering and keep your full time job? Very noble of you.
Nuke,
Go for it!
Mosgood,
Go get that guitar and take lessons! Have another child! Write your lessons for your children!
Toad,
I feel for you and your situation, sir.
One doesn't have to neccessarily give up their obligations to pursue their dreams.
My point in this was to give us reflection on our own lives and if we're on track to accomplish what we want out of life.
Felt it would be a refreshing change on the contry bashing and "Mr. Black" witchhunts.
Thanks for participating. ~S~!

If you believe in Bible Codes, Isn't Yellowstone suppose to errurpt in 2010? Maybe your post should be "five years" Then again it's already 40,000 years late so who knows.

I would spend less time with the puter and more time with my daughter. I would also save up more money for her future and make sure that she whould be in safe hands when im gone. If nobody else knew i only had 10 yers i would sign a huge life insurance.
I really should look into those things now even without an axe hanging over my head.
-
1. Make amends to all those that I have hurt.
2. Fly to Japan to meet the future ex-wife that Rolex promised me:)
:)

You have 2 days to get here, Silat!
Monday is the 'Coming of Age Day' holiday. An unbelievable day as hundreds of thousands of gorgeous young girls (who will turn 20 years-old in the coming year) are decked out in their finest kimonos. They are everywhere - filling the train stations, shopping centers and restaurants, not to mention the hearts and minds of dirty old men. :)
It's also a day for the guys, I think. In all the years I've been here, I've never noticed.
-
i would write a novel.
-
catch a ride to orion, start counting stars.

subaru... I don't know how "right on" I am so far as others are concerned... I have allways been a grasshopper to other peoples ant. I enjoy the minute and because of that haven't really planned for the future.. I have been lucky and will be able to retire with more than I probly deserve but still.... nothing like the people who have worked hard all their life and followed a plan..
still.... no regrets... absolutely.

I don't think I would change much except buy a **** load of life insurance.

First 5 years I'd join the peace corp and go somewhere to help people out, prefably flying something... and the last 5 years, join the special forces, and ask to kill some friking terroists!!! And the last 5 mins of life ask to have a full military honor funeral... Of course, noone knows I'm gonna die in that 5 min span. So it's not breaking the rules..
