Wow! I came to thank you for having this post on your feed @owasco, so I could enter too. You sure have had some sad experiences with death.

I agree with you about falling asleep and never waking up to be a good way to go. I would choose that if the choice was there to be made. Dying fast while eating good food sounds fine too.

But we will never know until our time comes, and then will we know when it happens? I guess we will find out - or maybe not.
