Love this. It would only be better if it was sponsored by Arby's.
My wife called me today to ask about a hotel room she was reserving for us this weekend. For the first time in my life, I told her, "check to see if I qualify for a senior discount." I died a little.
Canadians don’t die.....something about their healthcare system...
A point I have learned is that the dying time is not the time to settle up or resolve the open issues...hopefully you have had the good sense to do that much earlier. Instead it is the time to give yourself over to the experience of the dying...spoil them...agree with them....laugh even when forced....say yes to every request. If they ask for someone to be there or not be there respect those wishes. The eureka quote or final wisdom is unlikely and more likely is the odd memory of an insignificant moment or strange observation...as the body shuts down the brain does some odd things. Try to avoid business, property, estate issues ...these should already be done anyway.....and the dying feel little love from an heir concerned or asking over assets. Family unity should overrule all and it gives comfort to the dying to see everyone being nice to each other.Sorry to actually discuss death... but every moment teaches me.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Cripes, this thing has me living to age 99!
Hmmmm. I'm going to die just a couple weeks prior to my 90th birthday. Guess I shouldn't plan that big birthday party.
"And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime. "
No Man is an Island'No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. MEDITATION XVIIDevotions upon Emergent OccasionsJohn Donne
Thank God I'm not a pessimist. I would have died in December. Life is good and getting better every day. Yes sir, optimist here.
This got me thinking that we have seen several Scoopers fall out of line and go on to The Great Mystery. The one I remember is Trekyfoil.Who are some of the other Scoopers who have flown off to The Big Hangar?
Was ParkTheShark a Scooper?
