I want to die like my mother did, fast and furious. She always said that she wanted to go fast so to minimize any suffering at old age. She also didn't want to be anyone's burden like so many of our oldsters are. She died of an aneurysm. It was very painful, sure, but it did the job that she wanted. Me too. Thank God that cancer doesn't run in our family but heart attacks do. My neighbors sister had cancer and she fought it to the very end and at the end she suffered a lot, and that's no way to leave this earth.

A few months back my wife told me to take my BP and it was 185 over 100 something. She said you're going to the doctor. I told her what for, maybe I can kick the bucket like my mom and she said (and the doctor too) that not everyone dies in a stroke as some come out all messed up and can't do anything for themselves not even do personal business by themselves. I certainly don't want that that's why I agreed to see the doctor and now I'm on BP medicine. At the doctors it came out 202 over 100 something. Ha, ha, she wanted me to go to emergency and said "no way". I didn't go, went home instead.
