Men give me a hard time, so I'm just returning the favor...

I haven't given anyone here a hard time....yet.
Maybe I'll morph into a purple jeelybean....that sounds like it'd be fun. It could be the most difficult transition of all.

It's the nature of the beast....all men give woman a hard time.....maybe you haven't given anyone a hard time, or at least not here, but you have to pay for the sins of your brothers....
purple jelly beans???wtf ????

Maybe a special catagory. Death of your child. Been through most of the others except i (of course) k and j. Everything else pales in comparison.

I don't believe in sin, therefor I cannot be held accountable for the transgressions of my gender.
Purple is a royal colour. What did you expect, green?

I'll be worried I become infirm and end up in some awful old folks home. Or if I'm still fit then I'll be wondering when I'm going to peg out. Also, not much future to look forward to and plan things for after 75. In fact I hope I'm not alive at 75 then it'll save me the worry

Don't worry sis, you'll have Alzheimers and won't remember a thing...

Seems like facing the final curtain would be the most trying. No turning back and knowing death is knocking at the door...a time we'd evaluate missed opportunities and a multitude of losses.
Of course some may be able to appreciate the lives they've led.

I imagine I'll remember my graduation like it was yesterday, which in terms of things I've forgotten, would be true...

Do you think you will be able to? Are you living your life so that reflecting back on it when it is ending with be a somewhat satisfying thing? I know I've missed some opportunities....and make mistakes, but always in my mind is the idea that there is only this one life, only this one chance and I don't want to face the end thinking I didn't pursue my dreams and make as many of the things happen for me as I wanted to happen.

death of a very close loved one
the fear of the unknown. Never being with that loved one again
not knowing what happens when they die. The ? what if there is nothing when they die. Is it goodbye 4-ever

For myself it would be E and F; the Alpha and the Omega of Life. As a song goes, 'it's all over now....'
The rest, I don't give a damn about, never did. Hopefully the next Life will be a lot better...

What if this is all there is?? Nothing else matters except E and F? Why not?

I think- with the death of both parents comes the stark realisation of ones own mortality and aloneness

I think we all "take stock" along the way. At least I do. There are some things that can be corrected or adjusted. Of course, some can't. But as we hit the 70's, there's going to be more limitations due to biological factors.
I wish I'd had at least one more child. That won't happen. Wish I'd taken a different career path. That could happen, but it wouldn't be the same as if I'd done it in my 30's. Just a few examples. Still have a few dreams/goals left though...w/o that, life would have little meaning. JMO
