Where has Duff-Man been as of late, I haven't seen him around much?
At any rate, it is kind of a sad thought, but hey, life goes on, and those people who are the most important to you, i.e. your family, would indeed know, which is most important....
morbid quesstion - interesting though
this is really the only forum i frequent, so if my husband survived whatever killed me, he'd probably think to leave message with someone here. Doctor Q would probably be the first person here to find out since he's the only one who knows my contact info, and i imagine that's who my husband would tell... if Q didn't use his magical powers to find out first.
i still have a lot of crap to do, i sure hope i don't die anytime soon.
that friggin arn better live forever!

If MR is still around when I die, y'all will be in in mourning for weeks.
Avatars will have black shrouds, the front page will have a big pic of me, and the accompanying thread will have the MOST SAD FACES OF ANY THREAD IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, EVER!!~!!1!
Actually, I think I'll leave a Note on the desktop of my PB:
IN THE EVENT I DIE.TXT
It'll have instructions and everything.
"Go to forums.macrumors.com, autologin should be on. Post a thread in the community discussion. Tell them that KT has died. Wait for the sobbing to commence. Print thread and bury it with me. Then, shut down PowerBook. Bury that with me, too. Heck yeah, you aren't selling this thing, I LOVE IT!
"Yeah, and whoever killed me (if old age did it, ignore this part), go find them and kick them in the jewels a few times, then punch them in the face. That'll teach 'em to mess with KT.
"Uh.. so, thanks! Sorry I died without telling you! Hugs N Love, see ya on the other side, KT"
the saddest thing would be the number of replies to my thread. There'd be one probably.
And that'd be from someone telling me to search before I post, pointing to another dead member thread.
thanks a lot guys!!
My DEATH THREAD got wastelanded!
I get NO LOVE!!

Those are my thoughts as well. It's not that I'm afraid of dying, but I have so many interests, so much to do and all that, that I am not ready to go yet. And I know ultimately I don't get to make that call
but all I ask for is a healthy long life. Pass away in my sleep when I'm 100, that sounds good. But health is a big part of that - I want to be physically and mentally healthy - there's no point in living until you're 100 if you're just laying in a bed and can't remember your family for the last 10 years of your life. I just try and enjoy every minute of life I have - I have so many interests, hobbies, and am always out exploring the world and trying new things. Gotta make the most of it after all.
If I die then I'll be dead and there won't be anything to worry about. Kinda makes things simple no?
All I know is when I die I don't want anyone crying at my funeral. I've publicly gone on record stating that I will haunt their sorry ***es if I see anyone crying. I want a party damn it. With my corpse posed with a thumbs up gesture, sunglasses, a party hat, and a shirt that says. "Corpses do it hard.”
I only have three things stated in my will.
1. In the event I go persistent vegetative unless a doctor feels there is greater then 50% chance of me waking up I want to be kept on life support for 6 months. No less. No more. After that time pull the plug.
2. I want all my computers to be reimaged by my friends and donated to schools
3. I want my DVD collection (Over 500 titles now.) to go to the public library.
4. Ebay everything else, or sell it off locally and give the money to mom for her retirement.
My motto is keep is simple.

Err, hate to break it to you, but that still only leave you with a 20% chance of immortality. Now, if you have 4 clones made, then one of you will live forever, and since all of you are you, then you will live forever.
This is why Dolly died, they only made 1 clone, but they needed at least 4.
Plus, I'd play it safe, and have 10+ clones, so I wouldn't have to exercise so much, or could at least slack off for a while.
Well, following this thread my girlfriend has been fully briefed. In the event of my untimely demise she's to post on here and let you all know, and then she's to tell my parents.
