Sad to say I'd probably spend a good half of my time left deciding what was the best way to spend my remaining time.

At least it would only be half. I'd probably do the same,
and then, still undecided, spend the rest regretting wasting
so much of it.

I guess you know best what your talents are.
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

It's pretty much how I've spent my (supposedly)
limited life so far. There were times when I just
lived in the moment, but few.

That's for sure!

... but, what if you have a medical death sentence that is not so presssing or specific?
I have a friend who is suffering with MS. (I was not even thinking of him when I started this thread - I had in mind another friend who had recently died in a car wreck) He gets up everyday that he is ablle and goes to work, as a high school teacher. Some days he wakes up in the hospital, with tubes everywhere. He is slowly deterioriating to the point where his fun days willl soon be over. I wish I was rich enough to just take over his responsibilities for a year and let him have a "vacation" before he goes. I suppose he is doing all he feels comfortable with, though.

That may be the opposite of my situation. I am guilty of too much Grasshopper and not enough Ant behavior.

Yeah. Stopping working might make him
feel useless. I think that my father is like
this. He contemplates retiring, and buying
a sailboat, but just can't do it - I think mainly
for the fear of boredom/feeling unproductive.

You probably regret it less.

I have very few regrets in the past from "NOT going for it". I usually regret it when my mind makes me re-think/over-think something and grind my heels in to resist an impetus. Much more often, though, I have just followed one of life's hard-ons and not considered the possibility of a dead-end around the bend. I have explored many dead-ends.

My answer remainds basically unchanged...

...except that I wouldn't need to find out I was gonna die to go buy forsting cans.  I'd just need to feel the inclination.
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

My answer remains unchanged as well. I'd certainly start smoking again.
