That's why I hope to die when the first Chinese nuclear missile lands
on Cambridge.
That absolute worst case scenario is what happened to my mother. She
suddenly needed an operation, and the global anesthetic they gave her
caused immediate alzheimers, and she was immediately sent to a nursing
home, which was very nice but even being alive was hell. It was a
relief and a blessing when she finally died (or, if you're religious,
when God blessed her with death).
It's also a good idea to keep some essential items around -- plastic
bags and related things. That way you're prepared if you run out of
money, or if the pain becomes unbearable.
As the old saying goes, death is just another part of life.
..yeah, falling off the boat (oopsie!), and having it sail off into the distance without me will prompt a couple of hours of abject bliss treading water and enjoying the motion of the ocean 'til that's not fun any longer and a quick swim toward the bottom moves things along to the next stage of life.
Or,.. I get swamped by a wave, or smooshed by a tanker, or someone gets VERY silly and wastes a missile on a 30ft "pleasure" boat, or I jump overboard to avoid the pirates, or I "take one last swim" after being stuck provisionless in the doldrums for FAR too long,.. which results in the same "swim for the bottom".
Yes indeed,.. quickness is definitely a high value asset to reserve for yourself. None of this lingering stuff...
Aloha gangies! Nā mahalo nui īa ʻoukou. A me nā pōmaikaʻi.
