Mom, if you are reading this, I'm sorry. I wanted to leave it unsaid.

Does Mom know about the spin classes?

I am guessing she will say the following in response:

the wisdom she has to impart is (or will be considered) offensive and/or officious to the friend, but given that ppnyc and her valuable (nay, critical) advice could depart their mortal coils at any moment, she couldn't live with herself in the afterlife knowing that she didn't take the opportunity to share that wisdom. Even if she doesn't bite the bullet [train] any time soon, she has now decided that the risk of not sharing the advice is greater than offending the friend with her officiousness.

But that's just a guess.

Thanks for opening up to get the ball rolling. I wanted to post, but I was feeling self-conscious and hesitant, but now I am inspired by your courage to just let it all hang out like that.

I would want to let people know that I have made mistakes in my life. This will come as a great shock to them, but it might help them in their own small, mistake-riddled lives to know that I, too, have made mistakes.

Did you just call me Coltrane?

I would tell all of the hot girls I know how much I want to fuck them. And then I would try to fuck them.

Prior to this, I wanted to send a friend an email with some fairly difficult things to think about, things that friend may or may not wish to hear at this time. Should I send it? I'm thinking I should.

Falling running for train: Ouch. You'll need some of that stuff they advertise with little kids talking about their scars going away.

Difficult things to friend: Only if the difficult things are important enough to risk losing the friend.

And I don't know about email -- it's hard to convey the caring one needs to say difficult things to friends. Even in person is it difficult to get the right mix of truth and grace.

I actually kind of assumed that after I announced that I would be dying tomorrow, my remaining 24 hours would be a continuous string of hot chick sympathy fucks.

If so, go for it.

Maybe she should just buy her friend a Ouija Board?

I suppose I'd have to tell someone the passwords to this site to keep it going after I go. And where I hid all the loot generated from it.
