trade Tracy Mcgrady for Kevin Garnet and pick J.J.Redick. Houston Rockets will be the champion next season.
i'm boring, i'd settle all my affairs and maybe have a picnic with my friends or somehing. I'd want to spend some time outside- i don't know why but i lounge around on the couch too much i really need to motivate myself more. Good question i'm glad i took the time to answer it. If i freezing out and i had a lawn i'd go sit on the grass for a bit.
I'd also write letters to prominent world leaders requesting the take the danger to the environment more seriously. I'd do it now but then i'd have to live with my family talking about- i like to fly under the radar. they can talk about what ever they like when i'm dead.
That's a real hard question, I think nobody can imagine what it really means to know that you're living only three more days!
I expect that I would like to spend much time with the ones I love. Sure I want to see all the interesting places all over the world, but it probably would be more important to make it as easy for the ones staying alive, as possible.
I think I would divide up my earthly posestions, go to church and die there.

I would delete all my diary entries so my mom wouldn't find out how depressed I was. I'd collect all my poems and hope that some of my relatives had more courage than me and would try to get it published. I wouldn't let Spock out of my sight. I'd make a will so all my money would go to a charity and I'd finish the list of what songs I want in my funeral....
I think that is it...

I'll spend all three days showing my love why even a lifetime wouldn't be enough.
Nowhere, Beloved, will the world be but within us.
Our life passes in transformation.
And the external shrinks into less and less.
-- from Rilke's Duino Elegies
Assuming that I had full health for those 3 days, I would run up the biggest credit-card bill the world has ever known and try my best to go out early in the middle of a pile of women and booze.
I'll probably try heroin too, just to see what all of the fuss is about - not much danger of developing a habit.
Actually, I probably wouldn't do any of the above, just say goodbye to all of the people I know in the world. One thing is for certain though, I wouldn't go in to work!!!

Same here! Except, everyone already knows how depressed I am.I would definitely delete all written record of my thoughts, and any bad poetry I've got going at the moment.
First, though, I'd contact everyone I know, just to let them know, "Hey... they just discovered there's a disease that kills perfectly healthy people in exactly three days... no, 72 hours to the second... yeah, go figure. Anyway, bye."
I might get rid of all the old schoolwork and newspaper clippings I've got clogging my closet at home, since... I guess it didn't come in handy, after all. I might write out a brief will.
That doesn't leave a whole lot of time for hanging out with others... I guess I'd find a way to fit in an hour or two somewhere.

If you had to live with this you'd rather lie than fall.

I guess I would pray and try to finally make peace within. But, most important, I would try to make everyone as happy as possible before I leave.
"What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives, acts, and experiences otherwise than we do…?"
Id probably spend hours writing letters to anyone and everyone Ive ever thought about much.
Humm Id probably try and do something big to make a mark to mean that me living was important to someone that I made a differance somehow.
Id try to get to the sea. So I could watch the dolphins at sunset like I used to when I was little. And Id tell alot of people what I really think of them.

I would just throw a big goodbye party the last day. The other days would probably be spend doing enjoyable things. I'm not going to drastically alter my life just because I'll stop living in three days, that's just silly. Neglect the not so fun things obviously, but overall I'll probably not do anything extreme like traveling to the other side of the world or whatever.

In a way your right aimus I guess Id still like to do somthing big and helpful in my life though.

Yes, that is a desire that many people have, but the desire often makes people see their own life as insignificant unless they have achieved something great. For me it's better to life a good life then to do one great thing in life, and leave it at that.
What good has my life been, if I have to make up for it in the last three days of it?
