My cousin regrets not stopping at a stop sign ,does that count?

Not flossing? Sounds like some smart alec playing one last practical joke…

When you get close to the end, all you want is the sweet, sweet release from pain, fatigue, troubles, bills, annoying relatives…

Plenty of time in your next life.

Dying? What’s to regret? If you LIVE right, it’s graduation.

Graduation I love it, God is Loving, Forgiving & Just, what’s just for us may not be God’s way.

You don’t exist. You live. You die. You say stupid stuff in the meantime. Have a nice day.

Earl went right to the heart of the matter.If we weren’t dying, we could continue to not do all those things without regrets because other matters are more immediately pending.

Having “died” and been pulled back by an observant husband and a darned good EMT team, death is nothing to fear. Without being morbid, I can say I’m looking forward to doing it “for real”.

The not flossing part could have to do with getting heart disease. (plaque and all that…)

And, please, people, do your proselytizing on your own time. The rest of us have our own beliefs and want to enjoy the morning funnies.

Telling others how to practice their religious belief is a means of spreading your own.

Yourbeloved Pelican 47 has returned, my beloved milania.

Jumpin’ outta planes, climbin’ pyramids, postulatin’ Egyptian heaven…buncha stuff they wanted to do

The older you get , It’s not so scarey.

On John Travolta’s list, getting names right.

Red states are now claiming it is a denial of freedom of religion not to force your religion on everyone (or a selected few) else.

Regrets? I’ve had a few.(continue with Frank Sinatra’s version,not Elvis’s bellering bombast) I did what I wanted to, plus a few things that I REALLY DIDN’T want to, but all in all, it worked out. Now, to find the nearest Soylent Green Center…..

Which was silly because even if environmental changes wiped out all but one part in a trillion of the plankton, the remaining plankton would replenish the medium in a day or so at worst.Rapid reproduction is conducive to rapid evolution.

Well said, kea.

Agreed.

I wonder if not getting a reverse mortgage is anywhere on that list?

Hmm… Earl has a point.

I never died so i dont know if i would have regrets ?? 8^(

I’m guessing that goes without saying.

I’m reminded of the gabfest where people tossed around things they’d like to hear others say at their viewings. They came to one old lady, who wanted to hear someone say, “Hey, look, she’s still breathing!!”Which might be funnier if it didn’t happen to some old guy over the weekend. Found him kicking and screaming to get out of a body bag at a funeral home after the medical types pronounced him. Better seen than viewed, as my old band director used to say.
