Are you planning on killing him?

Are you planning on killing him?

I don't have to; all the people I knew growing are all dead now. I am in my mid-seventies and have no health issues. Waiting is all I have to do. When I do die, I think it will be sudden. I deserve a swift death; I have suffered enough in my life for two lifetimes.

When did Meade stop breathing?

Nov. 6, 1872

I wish it were you instead of me, but I can console myself with the fact that you will die gasping for breath while I can breathe just fine. I might not be able to see worth a damn, but at least I can breathe.

(a) what do you mean by 'I wish it were you instead of me'? Curious. What does 'it' refer to?

(b) why will I die gasping for breath? Of course, that might happen but how are you so sure ahead of the event?

(iii) will I regret asking either question?

(4) apologies for 'specific' when I meant to write 'specify'. How come you didn't answer?

(c) iii above + 1

I know that leaving a rock on the headstone is a Jewish tradition on visiting a grave, are there others who do that as well?

[Crackpot]

seing as the headstone tradition started to keep the dead from rising are the additional stones placed to make sure they stay there?

It is a bad president to set that holds people responsible for not acting unless they chose a profession that requires specific actions such as a teacher or social working.

We had one of those just a few months ago.

[MajGenl.Meade]

On second thoughts, don't. And that's precedent - we had a bad president from Jan 2017 to Jan 2021

Ha Econo! Scooped!

My notes tell me you have a breathing condition that affects your health is that correct?

Why would you regret asking a question? You should never regret asking. If I am curious, I ask, no one has to answer.

Thank you. Oh, you're thinking of this: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-con ... c-20377631

Ja nie, that's corrected by this:

er . . . the CPAP, not the girl (and that's not me although if I had to start over . . . .)

Untreated apnea can cause health problems and hospital anaesthesia is a bugger (not literally - that would be anusthesia). I lost my voice for 6 months after back-to-back surgeries in 2017 and the ungentle intubations of mortality.

No, I'm not going to die gasping for breath because of apnea, unless my wife steps on the CPAP tube again. I don't know why she keeps doing that.

I'm still not clear on "I wish it were you instead of me". What is "it"????

At this point I think he wishes it were you having to explain what he meant because I don’t think he can.

I do now wish I had not said anything, but my frustration level was higher than usual that day. I could explain it, but would you try to understand? And, why “cast pearls before swine”? Not everyone here is swine, so if you are curious PM me, and I might share. If I don’t share, it doesn’t mean I don’t trust you. I always reserve the right to change my mind.
