| Would you be willing to shorten your life, if it meant finding the love of your life?
Posted: 1/17/2008 6:37:45 PM | | Life is not about dying, it's about living. Existance is not living. We have millions of those that just exist. My profile says a month of bliss over 20 years of BS. I have had all the BS I want and consider myself vested to the 401K. I do live well, but my life would be so much more to have witness to it. One that makes my world that much more beautiful. | |

Posted: 1/17/2008 6:58:35 PM | Hell, no. Life is the love of my life. I love being here, being alive, being who I am and learning and doing the things I'm supposed to while I'm here.
In fact,I think I should get 5 years back for some of the crap I put up with before I realized that not only do I not need to be in a relationship, I don't even belong in one. | |

Posted: 1/18/2008 6:41:13 AM | | This reminds me of a bit Bill Maher used to do, about how you pay for your vices (or pleasures, depending on your interpretation). Like people that like to party and have fun, but may not live as long. He used Sammy Davis Jr as an example and said, "Sure, he only lived to 60, but give me 60 Sammy kind of years and I'd be pretty happy." | |

But before I met him, I wouldn't have been able to imagine anyone could be like he is, so I wouldn't have believed there was any such love. But I've never been that attached to the idea of a long life either --- until I found him, that is, and now I want to be with him as long as possible. | |

Excellent post to you both.
Eas, I understand your frustration on the work peeps not being able to drive you to the shop. One of the issues of living solo. I feel your pain!
My mattress needs flipping. Would do it myself if I could. Is a task for two with a king. Debating on asking neighbor or handyman to help.
Ahh, Sammy and The Rat Pack. Stardom came young. Then Frank and Dean headlining at the Sands in the 60's. Hug a president. Quality work, nightclub, stage and screen. One heck of a stage performer, "Sweet Charity" and "Stop the World".
His book "Hollywood in a Suitcase" is first rate.
Died at 64. Can still see his tilt of the hat in "Mr. Bojangles" to this day...... | |

Posted: 1/18/2008 5:54:38 PM | | You mean make a deal with God? Well, all the times that something didn't work out, I figured that God had someone up the line, ready and waiting for me.. and I just needed to have FAITH that when something bad happened, there was SOMETHING BETTER TO HAPPEN, if I had the patience and good attitude that STUFF HAPPENS, and by being patient something will always come good of things. Another door always opens. If nothing bad happens to us, how do we know what is truly GOOD. Good is a measure of better than the WORSE that has happened. | |

Posted: 1/18/2008 5:58:00 PM | | Good for U Str8ahd. I am hoping that I can eventually say that. Being who I am and learning and doing the things I'm supposed to while I'm here. Not only do I not need to be in a relationship, I don't even belong in one. These words I should write in calligraphy and frame and hang on my wall... so I can remember the end goal is to feel like this. | |

Posted: 1/18/2008 8:15:36 PM | ABSOLUTELY ! ! ! If i could have the love of my life . . . . and KNOW that she would never leave me, never cheat on me, never treat me bad . . . . in a N.Y. minute ! !
To find a mate that matches you perfectly and equally, across the board, is practically an impossibility. Total compatibility on a psychological level, as well as the emotional and spiritual levels, not to mention the sexual side of it, would be worth 5 years to me.
To "live the dream" . . . . and be with her FOREVER . . . . . I'll sign my name in blood. Especially if it would negate having to exist in one of those hell-hole nursing homes for my final years on the planet. | |

Posted: 1/19/2008 4:57:56 AM | For me the answer to this question is rather easy, it's a huge YES and here is why.
I never want to live to the point where i am a burden to my love ones and is unable to take care of myself . I see these old people everyday just hanging on for years in wheel chairs , with all kinds of tubes hanging off them, can't even remember anything. When i get close to that point i no longer want to be here. So why would i not give up those years for the love of my life?.
As long as i am living my life i want to be here, if i am just hanging on and existing, Then i would want someone to sneak up on me with a baseball bat and put me out of my misery. The years at the end of ones life is usual not quality years, i will take a pass on those. | |
