@loner - lol! The only time I have ever broken a bone was in training - so....if you are serious enough, and your sparring partner is trained enough, and you pay him enough...

@Yshania -- you train? What art?

There is no sparring in Aikido, though.

@loner - I haven't trained for a few years (since I had my kids!) but apart from that I trained in Tae Kwon Do then more recently a form of Kung Fu...

Then I found role playing games where you could bash people without breaking your own bones or having an asthma attack lol!

@Yshania -- LOL In fact I'm training tonight, I haven't gone in a week...

That's one of the reasons I fear having children, because I know I would have to give up my training.

Uhh, sorry for spamming up your thread, fable

@Yshania, no problem. As for going out from an asthma attack, it still happens to about 100 people a year. I am really, really hoping that I'm not one of 'em when my time comes. The attacks that hit during sleep are among the worst.

I'd like it to be a clean, relatively quick death, whatever it is, that includes saying goodbye to those I care for, without having to be kept lingering in a horrible hospital environment.

@Fable - I agree - a chance to say goodbye without too much lingering.

my three year old has just been diagnosed asthmatic (from excessive coughing through the night - no attack yet thank God!)...inevitable really when you consider I am the eldest of eight and five of us have asthma, two bad eczema and one hayfever, though all the asthma/hayfever cases were diagnosed as adults and the eczema as babies (!) and only one of us was free from all! lol!

My six year old had really bad eczema but it all stopped by the time he was two..weird. Just hoping my daughter may grow out of it...

@Yshania, if I may offer advice: don't simply hope. Take your kid to see a good allergist up on the latest drug therapies. Once it manifests, it never stops. Nowadays, you can sometimes stop it before it shows up.

I heard this story of an old man who had a heart attack as he climaxed(the big O). this is the ONLY way to go.

DP-I would have a heart attack before i ever made it to the ground.

The rest of us are morbid, and you don't need to answer it.

I personally don't care how i die.
As long as i have time to say good bye to my family and friends.

For those who want to know when they die, they can always check out the death watch.
Never tried it, and i don't believe it can tell exactly when you die.
i think the address is www.deathwatch.com

Death?

Life is one big adventure, and death is the greatest kick of all, that's why they save it for last!

I want to go quietly in my sleep, like grandpa, not kicking and screaming like the passengers in his car.

Actually, I'm not going to die. I'm not important enough in this world for death to notice me
