You've been told that you only have 1 more week on this Earth, so you have to decide on the best way you want to live/spend it. What do you do?

I'd go to everybody I can see that look partly receptive
and try and get into their heads that if they meet Jesus face to face one day,
please then use your last chance ever to bow your head cos he is worthy of all your love and respect under the sun.

Something along the lines of this Bowie song

Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing (sighing)
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in (cry in)
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying (dying)
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying (lying)

I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV's
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat, skinny people
And all the tall, short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people

A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the Black hadn't have pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk

We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got

We've got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got

We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got

We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got

Perhaps you're missing the point Didi. Rescuing the dog isn't about me. Being a senior dog they are often put down just because they are old. When I take the dog into my home he will have another week to live a good life to frolic in the park, sit on the couch with me and even sleep on my bed while I sleep. Then when I die my daughter, who has always had a couple dogs in her home, will gladly take the dog into her home for another chance at life. He will eventually die but when he does it won't be because a vet stuck a needle into his leg to never wake up again. He will die knowing he was loved very much.

SA my dear, I did get your point, but I was wondering about what YOU would do for YOU as you make your way out. I have no doubt that the dog would benefit from your kind gesture, but the focus is on YOU primarily. hug

About me?

You want me to do something for myself. I would be very happy first of all if I had a dog even if it was just for one week, but I would also be happy if I made someone else's life good. THAT is doing something for me indirectly but it's mainly about the dog. This dog is just a pup and has a long life ahead of him dancing dog

If a doctor told me I have one week to live my first thought would not be what can I buy, what can I eat, where can I go, yada yada yada. My life is not all about me. I have been a generous person all my life in various ways. If I was told I have one week to live my first thought would be to spend the week with my daughter because she is always first in my life. But I could still get a senior dog who is as old as I am. laugh

I’d put my affairs in order so my sons were all clear on what they each owned from my estate which is huge. There would be no room for argument as I would never wish them to argue over money.
