Serious thread: What do you think you\'ll die from?
« on: August 06, 2003, 06:35:44 PM »
Alright - this is a serious thread. Basically, if you spam or start flamin\', I\'ll delete your post....Now that I\'ve got that out of the way...

What do you think you\'ll die from? And why?

I figure I\'ll go from either one or two things.

(1) The most likely is cancer. Both my parent\'s have cancer. My grandmother has it. I just had a great-uncle die Tuesday from it. His brother died from it. His father died from it and I do believe my  great-grandmother did also. All of that is just on my mother\'s side of the family.  

(2) Wagners-grandala-tois. I think I spelled it right. If not - oh well. My father has that. It\'s almost like cancer, but not quite. He has one lung from it, due to the fact it eats away at your organs. His grandfather died from it (which was diagnosed as cancer at the time, but later decided it was not).

Both shitty ways to go. Or I could end up with both, as both are largely genetic. Tho\', it seems the "wagners" often skips a generation.

How do you think you\'ll go?

Well, how I have felt lately it would be a wasp sting.

I am still very nervous about wasps which is highly frustrating living in Florida because there is no dormant season for them.  I would much rather be allergic to cats.  I can\'t die from cats....


But my other thought/fear is cancer.  Watching my wifes mom pass away nearly 6 years ago was awful and certainly a life changing experience.

Some sort of cancer or heart disease. My grandmother died from skin cancer(melanoma) and my grandfather died of congenative heart failure.  But really as I\'ve thought alot about this lately, I also am not ruling out the factor of a freak accident.

Probably old age or suicide.  In my family you either live to 100 or commit suicide.  I have multiple relatives who\'ve lived past 100, and just as many that commit suicide.

While I did not watch my great uncle die from it (my mother and other uncle did that). I did see him less than a month ago and he seemed fine. It was so messed up how someone can go from "fine" to dead within a month...

Not to mention I\'ve seen both my parents deal with cancer.

It certainly is not the way I want to go out, but I have a distinct feeling that it will be. Which certainly is disturbing, as it is such a terrible, terrible way to go.

My wife and I married end of September. Her mother immediately moved in with us when she was diagnosed a week after we were married.  She lived with us for 2 months.  Really only about a month of it was she really there.  The last month she was highly medicated.

Nothing I want to go through, but at least she didn\'t feel anything.

If we were married just one week later she probably would not have been able to come.  There are a lot of strange happenings in mine and Lona\'s relationship that make me wonder why I don\'t believe in God.

I\'ll more than likely die from some type of disease, probably heart disease or skin cancer when i\'m in my 60\'s.  I don\'t plan on sticking around until I\'m 80 years old and can barely lift a cookie jar let alone do the fun things I did in my youth.  I don\'t want to live to see myself fall apart at the seems from living life too hard and being helpless all at the same time.  Rya and I will live together happily, have our kids, raise them well and hopefully prepare them enough for a world where anything is possible.  If I can do that, and I will try my hardest to do just that, then I\'ll have lived and died without any regrets.

I\'d like to be remembered for doing something for people that they would always remember me by, namely directing or writing something that a vast majority greatly enjoys, but that\'s just my dream and goal for myself.

Most likely cancer. Quite a few members of my family have been diagnosed (and sadly died) from it. I\'m trying to take care of myself to hopefully stay clean.

I remember posting a thread like this quite a while ago... :)

Anyway, I hope I\'ll die of old age, or something I don\'t feel.

You are tryin\' to tell me that it\'s God\'s will for people to die slow miserable deaths? For grown men - to suffer so much they cry for their mother\'s, even though their mother\'s have long died from the same thing?

I fail to see how anyone can believe in God in light of such things and how anyone can say it\'s God\'s will for people to suffer slow painful deaths.

Those "slow, painful deaths" came for a reason in God\'s plan. Did Christ not die a slow and painful death for you?

Listen, I don\'t wanna turn this into a heated religious debate, you asked a question, I gave you my answer. I\'m sorry you disagree with it, or don\'t understand it.

None of my family has cancer so I\'m ruling that out for the most part.  I think I\'ll either be killed in a car crash or die of old age.
