- if only there were a convenient place on the calendar for new beginnings -- nm - zork Feb 17, 13:29
One week before Lent, is Lint. That is the time you speak of. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 13:27
That's what everyone means when they say "live each day for today" after a near-death experience -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:27 8
- Then within a week they're watching bowling on TV and shooting aerosol cheese directly in their mouths. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 13:29 1
  - I've known a couple of people who've had near-death experiences. My generalisation is their personality remains the same but they become more spiritua -- nm - Roger More Feb 17, 13:36
- We're doing a series at church on the book One Month to Live. Interesting topic -- nm - oblique Feb 17, 13:29 5
  - it's a good idea in theory but in practice if you actually lived your life like that, it would be untenable - poochinski Feb 17, 13:31 4
    - Indeed. It focuses more on relationships than anything else, not the actual "I'd eat all donuts all day" type things -- nm - oblique Feb 17, 13:33 3
      - you don't have to be dying to do that! -- nm - poochinski Feb 17, 13:34
      - Smoking and drinking galore too! WOO! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 13:34 1
        
        well, if you did that you'd only live for about a month anyway, so it works... :) -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 14:17
