When you go to bed each evening, how many of us hope I don’t wake up to morrow?

wtf?

have you ever considered building a salt pyramid bob?

I’m sure we all wish you many long & lucid years in which to enjoy the twilight of your youth, bob.

No, but do you think this may help? as I haven’t seen any salt pyramids I don’t that this a common problem.

You are a bit of a weirdo but I have never gone to bed hoping you don’t wake up tomorrow.

Agreed, but one night it will happen, odds approx. 365×100?

Not necessarily. You might get hit by a wayward cruise missile on your way to the chemist or suchlike.

do you have a plot of ground to build an earth pyramid bob

you are in a regional area?

we can probably salvage this thread…

I watched a documentary on a guy who helps people disappear. As in from their lives, not from life.
He has enough clients to make this his full time work (though I can’t imagine that he’s cheap) but he says he gets at least five inquiries a week from people who want to leave their current lives.

This supports a thing I read many years ago on disasters and how they calculate death tolls. It seems that a few people use the opportunity to ‘disappear’ and they are assumed dead by all and sundry, only to start a new life elsewhere.

The man who makes people disappear admits that it’s harder to do now (with our digital footprints) than it used to be, but not impossible. It takes months or years of ‘setting it up’, in light of that, people who use disasters as opportunities are probably not as well set up to go, but when opportunity strikes… they take it – clearly it’s a spur of the moment thing, but they have thought about it… just haven’t figured out how.

so I guess, a few people might wish they never wake up in their current lives – of course they do.. (then probably call the guy)

Well even if that happens, he still won’t wake up tomorrow

Just done a quick search, “Cruise Missiles R Us” turned up nothing.

Or if I do, it will be with a really bad brain pain.

the mixed pronouns and lack of punctuation in the OP make understanding the exact thought difficult.

are you asking if we (as in the collective us) hope that you won’t wake up… or if we (the individual) ever hope that we won’t wake up?

Either/or

do you own any earth moving equipment bob?

bbl

well, I’ve never hoped that another person doesn’t wake up..

and never that I didn’t… although there have been rare times when I have wished I were somewhere else.

OK, how can we conduct the experiment to settle this?

we cannot… to my understanding death is a permanent absence of anywhere. There is no garden, no heaven, no afterlife no reincarnation, no ghost trips. it’s just nothing. Death doesn’t affect the person dead, only the ones left to live.

I have to take back my claim that I have never wished anyone dead… I have. I have a relative who has dementia to the point where they are unresponsive. They lay in a bed all day and just stare into space. No recognition, no movement, no eating barely breathing. Every time something happens that might indicate the end, the nurses are bound to not let it be… it’s heartbreaking. I would like that person to be dead… I don’t know what is going on in his head, but from what I knew of him before dementia, I imagine he doesn’t want this either. It would be nice if he could just slip quietly away… I say that seeing the remaining family and what they go through every single time they get a phone call…

Ask a dead person where they are. If there is no answer, rhey are nowhere.

We get them popping up now and again in FNQ. There was a bloke a couple of years ago who had been working at a regional hospital for more than 10 years while on the run from murder charges.

We had one this year. Great story.

I just hope as I go to bed each evening that you don’t remember a specific engineering firm that makes screen printing equipment.
