Shot by a jealous husband when I'm 102.

Since we are creating our own universes, it's up to us.

Native Americans, and the ancient Chinese used to wait until they were 120 years old, then have a good-bye ceremony, climb to the top of a hill, lie down, and die.

Studies show that people pretty much choose to die. That's why when one of a longtime couple dies, often the other one will die soon afterward.

Pretty sure I'm going to stop breathing

Yes, it may be an asthma attack. I've been very, very close.

@kenriley No, it's mostly dust and chemically induced asthma from the materials I work with. I have had triggers with pollen and cold night air too, so anything can trigger it.

@kenriley It can be very serious.

While I'm glad to be alive for as long as possible I guess I missed my chance of the ultimate quick and painless option 18 months ago when I survived a sudden cardiac arrest. My second choice is to be having fun and get caught up in some inescapable catastrophe, a climbing fall or something. But my secret hunch is I'm going to get run over by a milk float.

@Maiasaura hmm my reply disappeared! Anyway yes they did. I get a lot of the details wrong about my missing week, but as I understand it they kept me chilled for 2 or 3 days, and had trouble bringing me round first attempt as I freaked and tried to kill the doctors!!

@Maiasaura probably the only sign ?

A hunch? Not really, Statistically, probably something cardiovascular related.

I can’t believe I’m still alive!

I have planned my own death for years in preparation for the bad news. Final Exit was written years after I made this decision. I was a member of the "Hemlock Society" before they changed their name to something more clinical. Prior to the momentum the "right to die" movement acquired I was advocating for ones autonomy in this decision.

I respect your position. Reminds me of a time I visited a girlfriend’s parents. Her father's brother was there and I noticed he was bleeding by his belly. He responded, yes, I had surgery a day ago and I am going to bleed out. I'll be dead in a day or two. Two days later he was dead. He donated his millions of dollars and farm to the Christian Jack Van Inpe ministry so god would give him a good seat in heaven. His brother continued to struggle to put food on the table.

@NoMagicCookie That is a sad story. Seems to come with our connection to people.

My mom died at age 45 (1972) of ovarian cancer. That I am alive at 60 tends to confuse me. I didn't plan to be here, but I didn't plan to not be here either. Some days I plan to have an ending like Thelma and Louise, and then other days I hope to die in my sleep. The only thing I am sure of is how I DON'T want to go. No machines, no toxic drugs, no lingering.

Probably doing something that seemed like a great idea at the time and absolutely, definitely couldn't possibly go wrong.

Mustache deep between the legs of a $1,200.00/ hr., 23 year old call girl at some ritzy hotel in Vegas. Age of 103.

Yep. I have COPD, it's a progressive disease that eventually I will die from unless I got a lung transplant and that isn't guaranteed for long term . By the next POTUS election I most likely be in a nursing home or in Hospice.

@craycraycatty I'll bite, what is it?

A friend at work died from that. He exercised (cardio) for nearly an hour every day and did manage to extend his productive life years longer then the doctors predicted.

@craycraycatty No wonder I couldn't find it on google. 🙂

Well, I could be a smartass and say, 'my heart and brain (what's left of it) will cease functioning'; as to specifically what will cause that, your guess is as good as mine. Maybe somebody who's got a low tolerance for smart-alecks will beat me to death.

@goldenvalleyguy check out lam4MY; I think there's more concurrence.

I will die because factors will fail to diagnose whatever ailment I have until it’s too late. Fat shaming is very real and alive in the medical field.

I have a hunch I will break my neck, falling out of a whore's bed at the age of 101.
