Bill, when my Mom was told she had liver cancer, she told me point blank that she was not going to do anything about it ... other than indulge herself.

At first, I was very upset with her that she wasn't going to fight ... and then I thought about it long and hard and asked myself, "what if it was me?"

I soon came to the same conclusion that she had ... so from that day forward, she was indulged. She had the best food money could buy, we went various places that she normally wouldn't have and spent lots of money just having fun. If truth be told, we had some of the best times (and best discussions) I can recall.

I plan to do exactly the same thing when my time comes. I already have most of my bucket list items and if I get even just a few items ticked off, I'll be a very happy camper.

The dialysis thing makes it tough for you to travel, but I am sure there are other fun things to do close by that you can find to give yourself a thrill or two.

I have always had a fear of small airplanes and though I never had a problem with heights when I was younger, I have developed acrophobia over the past 20 years or so. One of the things on my bucket list is to conquer both of my fears at once and go sky diving. I'm going to wait until I hear from some doctor that the time is nigh before I do it though. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

I kind of look at receiving that nasty news from some doctor as though it is the start line for my last hurrah.

Man ... I won't be wasting any time divesting myself of all worldly goods, cashing the cheque and heading out the door for the party of a lifetime! It's going to be my reward to myself for a lifetime of hard work before I go to my last reward.

I would be so pissed off if I were to die in some stupid car accident or something like that. I am counting on enjoying an extended vacation/party ... indulging myself to the hilt and trying to tick off as many items as possible on my bucket list, before I hang up my jet pack and leave my family the last $10.00 in my purse. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Fair winds my friend and God speed. I'd love to hear about any cool things you manage to dream up to do!
