Interview the Person below you?

[gadjo_dilo]

Have you seen Michael Haneke's movie Amour? It was so emotional that I cried rivers of tears and left the cinema with red eyes. Who would have known that I'll face the same problems like the hero? I wiish I could have his patience and the strength to end this nightmare the way he did....

When was the last time you've been brokenhearted?

[anfield5]

About 6 months ago. Someone I cared deeply about (probably still do) basically turned on me and stopped speaking to me for no apparent reason. Took a while to get over it, but now I see it as her loss rather than mine.

Four more weeks of work until Christmas!!! we get a mandatory 3 week summer holiday, are you planning to take extra time off?

[Starter]

All of my days now are time off. It's nice to be retired.

What is the one thing (within reason) which you'd like to receive for Christmas? (We need time to go shopping. )

[gadjo_dilo]

But I've already answered......A reliable friend is a reasonable thing...
OK, if you want something material I'd say an expensive perfume ( from Chanel, Calvin Klein or Gucci), a nice watch and a new bag. As nobody would offer me such things ( naughty girl? ) I'd probably buy them myself.

What things will you buy as presents for your missus ( yours, not Billy's), or gf or sweetheart?

[anfield5]

before problem outlined a few answers ago I had ordered her a guitar. But that has since been cancelled.

What one thing could someone do right now to make you really happy?

[gadjo_dilo]

The only thing that can make me happy is a holiday, obviously nobody can "do" it.
But it will be OK even if you continue posting.

How long do you want to live?

How long do you want to live?

That is a REALLY deep question.

At the end of the day I want to live long enough to be secure in the fact that my teenage daughter is on the right track, has a promising future, and has learned the important life lessons that teach her to be a good person throughout her life. That is all happening very quickly, but that is my primary concern.

After that? Well I'd [i]like[/] to live long enough to see her live part of her "adult" life, to see if she gets married, has kids, etc. And I'd hope that she found a career that was rewarding to her daily and gave her more than sufficient income to be financially secure.

In a perfect wish list I'd live to be at least late 70's-early 80's. Though I do enjoy being productive and working, I think I'll really enjoy true retirement and the time it gives me to do what I want and cross some things off my bucket list. And if I stayed of sound mind and body, living to be 100 wouldn't bother me in the slightest. It would be amazing to see the changes that continue in the world, even though some are troubling at times.



Same question to the next person.....

[gadjo_dilo]

Ha, ha.....Guess who's answering........
I'm very serious when I say that last night I went to sleep repeating I wanna die, I wanna die.....
Don't want to continue with arguments ( it's Friday, goddamnit....) but I simply can't find a meaning to my existence and the continuous failure in everything I try or feel deepen the pain.
Don't worry, I'm also the pussillanimous type who wouldn't ever take her life.
But I confess that I'm really scared I might have my mum's fate and become a burden ( burden to whom? ). So anyway I want to die without agonizing.

Let's continue. Same q to the next.

[D-Type]

gadjo , have you tried contacting the Romanian Red Cross - they may be able to offer you some support or help. They seem to have some age-related programmes.

[D-Type]

How long do I want to live? difficult question. In short, I would like to live as long as possible. But with the proviso that if my quality of life deteriorates rapidly let tit be for a shoert time.

Do you consider life sacrosanct? Or would you agree with euthanasia in some cases?
