As for the dying malarkey, my only ‘fear’ of it is knowing that you’re going to miss out on what’s coming in the future, be it what your kids do or just general advancement.

Tux - unfortunately it does seem to survive you have to become savvy with money, get good accountants and solicitors to help you find loopholes.

Or do some research into 'fiat' currency, appreciate that it's nothing more than a Ponzi-Scheme (history doesn't lie) that can be manipulated by those who print it from 'thin-air' yet charge us interest, ergo robbing us all!!!!!
Buy Bitcoin (govts around the world are). It's the best money ever created.

Fear of missing out (FOMO) makes you have a shiite life. Don't let it make you have a shiite death too

Tux I know this and already do this. Have been in the crypto game since the last crash. It’s served me well. Issue is it’s still not enough
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It will be.
Global currencies are being de-valued due to inflation (the increase of the money supply). They are trying to offset the (known) failure of the current 'fiat' system by deliberately collapsing the system through a germ (too close to the bone for some?), manipulated energy prices, a deliberately manufactured war (close/bone stuff again?) and the looming food crisis.
People really need to wake up and do just a little research.
A germ, a fuel crisis, a war and then a food shortage all within 2yrs or so?
We're ALL being played.

This is kind of useful as a lot of us are philosophical about the topic in hand and wonder how it may feel to be brain dead. So how does it feel? Like sleeping but also being able to talk? Or like being a tree but also a living breathing thing? Tell us how it is to be you, we are curious incase we end up in that state.

looooool

I dide once 4 a few seconds if ass-ma attack

Was calm calm n saw lotsa swirling colors.
Then was woked up by a doctore yelling at me too breathe ore he was gonna give me a trachiiotomy. I thort that was sumthing shuv up my bunghole sew started breath agane

United ‘Bitcoin will reach 100k by the end of the year’ we win and TUX. A real battle of the intellectual giants.

Didn't all the bullshat currencies collapse the last month?

I was diagnosed with advanced metastatic malignant prostate cancer just before Christmas, inoperable and incurable.
The treatment is monthly hormone injections and four tablets a day of Apalutamide (£1000 per month, but I'm worth it!). The idea is that, since prostate tumours feed off testosterone, the drugs block my body from producing it. Chemical castration they used to call it.
The side effects, beside the obvious, are joint pain and muscle weakness plus hot flushes and all my body hair has fallen out. The advantages are that I don't need a hot water bottle or to shave my legs. Oh, and I might live for another five years! I hope that will be long enough to see United achieve some of the success that I lived through and enjoyed in the nineties and noughties, and also my kids being happy and having families of their own.
In all seriousness, if I were able to give any man advice, as a legacy, it would be, once you hit 40, to get yourself checked out every couple of years for prostate cancer. It isn't fun having someone's finger stuck up your bum ('though some may disagree) but a PSA blood test gives an early indication and isn't as disturbing for the subject or the doctor. Out of interest, the normal level is between 3.5 and 6. Mine was 332!
Death does occupy my thoughts, but the worst aspects are no longer being able to do the physical things I used to take for granted, and the tendency to burst into tears for no reason (hormones, again!)
Love to everybody on here (even the k***heads).

Real sorry to hear that. I almost posted earlier how scary it is, particularly in the UK, not to have medical check ups for such things. I had a few concerns last year and got checked out and thankfully all was good.

Keep on keeping on and enjoying everything you can and hopefully the drugs keep you on the up for a long time ahead.

I used to think I was immortal. I’d walk away unscathed from things that I really shouldn’t have been able to. Thought I was bulletproof. Then my Dad died aged 53. I was 27 at the time and it completely changed my view on death. Made me nervous about not being around and it really filled me with dread. Then my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and then a brain tumour that was the size of a hens egg. She fought those and came out the other side of them. Her strength made me realise life is for just grabbing by the bollox and getting on with. She’s my inspiration. My hero. When she’s not nagging me to finish all the projects I’ve started over the years that is.

Totally disagree.

We all have 'Bucket Lists' of sorts and fulfilling your realistic ambitions still gives you incentives in later life.

Thanks for sharing. It’s an important message I hope people take heed of.

Best of luck with your treatment

The NHS is definately a Postcode Lottery but you still have to make the first move if you have health problems to get the ball rolling.

Your doctor isn't likely to be going house-to-house doing spot health checks.

I heard St Peter automatically pulls the lever for the ‘Purgatory’ trapdoor when he sees a Liverpool replica shirt in the queue.

I’m safe so. Haven’t wore a replica shirt in about 20 years. Also I’m a born catholic. Guaranteed to get in
