September 15, 20223 yr Author Most people, I suppose I would rather spend the day if it were there last, enjoying life to the fullest. Why not do that every day?
September 15, 20223 yr Did you miss the jist of it? I posted this because I believe in it. Did I say I didn't? It was a simple qoute that I chose because I believe that way. Every day. And I thought I would share it.
September 15, 20223 yr Easy Scott, I believe a LOT of us agree with you. There are many versions of the axiom that say the same basic thing. My favorite is, "Dum vivimus vivamus." While you live LIVE. Buzz: I can concede your point as the dark side of the axiom. Unfortunately doing something guaranteed to be fatal is what some people faced with short term mortality choose, some for good, some for bad reasons. The quoted axioms are NOT about giving up. There's a recent Tim McGraw song song the chorus goes like this. Search Tim McGraw, "Live like you were dying for a listen or the lyrics. The author wrote it as a tribute for his Father who lived it in his final days after finding out he had terminal cancer. As we see every single day your life can end in the next second. A person who pays attention and does any introspection squeezes every bit out of every second they have. Unfortunately we rarely discover this truth until we find out we are dying, as in seeing the reaper's sythe coming. Frosty The Lucky, Who knows from direct personal experience. One second you're doing whatever then it's switch off, not even the passage of time, just nothing, zippo, gone. "Dum Viviums Vivamus!" The chorus of, "Live Like You Were Dyin." . "I went skydiving I went Rocky Mountain climbing I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu And I loved deeper And I spoke sweeter And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin' " And he said, "Some day I hope you get the chance To live like you were dyin' "

Now there there ain’t gonna be no gold an jewels in my grave when I’m six feet under, so y’all don’t be diggin me back up!
September 15, 20223 yr You will be surrounded by forge blowers and post vises. My advise is an unmarked grave. Thanks, Jerry.
September 15, 20223 yr Tut was laying right there with it when they dug him up. Truth is it isn't what you can get, it's what you can keep. Tut's was the only empirical tomb that hadn't been looted. If we don't get to them first, Scott. If I were to put money on it, I'd say Billy will be surrounded by the world's largest collection of broken lawnmowers. Electric ones if he's been B A D. I'll probably be surrounded by stuff I can't find. Frosty The Lucky

My advise is an unmarked grave Nah!! i won’t have em buried with me… I’ll find an obscure cave… that’s miles an miles an miles away from the closest dirt road on top of a mountain across a river with No bridge way out In the boonies down some forgotten holler that can only be reached during certain times of the year, an even then only on foot, then I’ll hide my loot wayyy down in the cave to where ya would have to climb down on ropes, then fight your way past the rattlesnakes, and the bats that got fleas carrying the plague then swim across a cave lake to an island, then survive a couple booby traps just to reach the a stone doorway that will only open if you are pure of heart an sane of mind… also you’ll need a special key…. an The only information to locate my treasure will be written on notes with riddles you’d have to solve to get the clue leading to the next location of the next riddle, an the riddles will be spread across the Country! make sure to pack a compass, a cutlass, a revolver, some rope, light weight camp gear, wear good boots, a rubber chicken, and bring a rain slicker, Your team will need to have a virgin, a Zulu warrior, a old retired geologist, a sailor, a sharp shooter, a mountaineer and a sidekick that speaks Cherokee, happy treasure hunting! Enjoy your adventure! one last note of warning! them who disturbs my treasure will be cursed, haunted, and most likely break their pinky toe! mahahahaha!
September 15, 20223 yr You forgot to mention crossing the Bridge of Death over the Gorge of Eternal Peril and the questions three.

September 15, 20223 yr Actually I think that’s been done a few times by rich guys, I remember in the early 2000s a guy wrote a book about pirates and hid a bunch of clues leading to a buried treasure worth several million, I’ve heard of others doin stuff like that for publicity stunts over the years, talkin bout it makes me wanna put a bug in Elon and Jeff’s ear about what they could do with some of their pocket change!
September 15, 20223 yr I happen to know the capital of Assyria; and am a retired geologist among other things. Now to plant tracking devices on all that stuff of mine Billy plans to get...
September 15, 20223 yr Lol No cheating Thomas! I’ll just bury your stuff in a separate location In a container shielded from radio frequencies!
September 15, 20223 yr Why would I want my stuff back? I guess I'll have to visit you and tag *your* stuff! Back from two long days at the State Fair; resting up for Quade-State packing. Did an intro course for a 13 year old I hope will show up here sometime. He did better than a lot of the College kids! I guess it was that he focused and remembered what he was told. Didn't have so much stuff to "unlearn".
