  • Nothing. It’s not a cause of death. It’s a term to describe someone close to death.

    Cancer, I’ve seen too many people suffer with and die from it. I really don’t want to go out that way.

  • If I make it to 90 I’m going to be angry that I ever consumed kale. I’m only hoping for 80.

    Yes, however, if it was my sweetie I'd get in if I had to be wrapped in bubble wrap.

    Cancer. I've lost too many of my nearest and dearest that way. My mother was unable to speak for three weeks before she passed,  a torture worse than death.

  • Truly. I’ve seen people fight and succumb for months as well. Hard to watch. Can’t imagine living it.

    Death, of course. The vast majority of people die of death.

    Electrocution so I could join the freak  show and wow the crowds by chewing through live high voltage lines. Cheers!

    Ya I don't want to be worshiped  - a few gasps of astonishment  and a few applause and I will be happy. And if I sell a few of my Volt Boy  t-shirts and a few of my Volt Boy coffee cups it will he a bonus. Cheers! This post was edited by Nanoose at August 20, 2020 11:16 AM MDT

    Thanks. After all I read. Sheer horror. You look it up:)
    "I have a friend who ended up with burns on a decent portion of their body. I’m not certain at the moment the details of what happened, just that they were in the hospital for a while. From what I do recall, it had to have been pretty all-encompassing, unending, horrifying pain. They ended up addicted to morphine and had to detox at the later stages of the healing process.
    The memory of it is still terrifying to them too. A while back our group of friends went to see a scary movie, and it ended up that one of the characters was going to be burned alive. It was somewhere in the middle of the movie, probably still twenty-thirty minutes left, and my friend asked me to take them home, because it was too much to watch. I’ve never seen the end of that movie"
    I read that you start hearing screaming, but, you don't realize it's yourself screaming. This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at August 21, 2020 3:36 PM MDT

    Being impaled;  such as being a victim of Vlad the Impaler.

    Death from the steady debilitation that comes with old age.

    You think? If you have a cure for old age ('Cocoon' excepted) I think we'd all like to known about it.  This post was edited by Nyse Elias at August 21, 2020 6:33 PM MDT

    Oh okay. Sorry. I confused it with one form of death you would most not want. Old age is way relative to pains and can't be prescribed a cure unless you die younger intentionally or not. BTW, three good friends I had in my 20's died at 52,  53, and 55. Deaths comes in threes!!!! Over 2 months I saw to their obits. Victor, Shawn and Jay. Cya!
