Spud - I love your sense of humor. Just a reminder though...your own words:
<. But Solace is the best. It is the most haunting of all Ragtime compositions. That's the piece of music I want to hear when I'm dying.>

Well, Sinsull, i made it this far. Why quit now? I'm so irascible, anyway, I'll probably live forever.....or so I'm told by those who REALLY know me.

Since I was 16 I've wanted to be atop the Jungfrau (Alps) and to share the view with my love. On a certain Sunday 6 years ago my husband & I saw a travelog on it, and the decision was made. We would go! The next day he was killed by a drunk driver. Only reason for this story is to tell anyone & everyone not to put off your heart's desire. Do it now-whatever it is. Go to Ireland or France or wherever your dreams have taken you. We can't count on tomorrow. Confucius said, "We grow old too soon & smart too late." The old guy knew what he was talking about.

Oh, Mickey, thanks for that reminder. My condolences on your loss.

I would wish to hear someone singing to me gently and the voices of my family. Hearing is the last faculty to go.

After my recent experience of holding and comforting my mother while she was dying a very difficult death, I have learned something about what happens to survivors who go through such an experience.

I think I want my final moments to be whatever would be the least traumatic for my loved ones.

Micky 191, I am also sorry for your loss.

Before I die, I wish that I would quit coming up with the same old tired jokes, day in day out, and actually come up with something fairly original.....

Borught this thread back, because item #3 on my wish list (earlier in this thread), is close to reality, at least in certain cancers.

Check it out!

Thanks Boab. I think I understand the "It's half of the gaelic word for drum" part, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "In english you'd say "an 'um'"

Is it a reference to dropping the 'dr' part of 'drum'?
