Lol :) you guys seem to be all party animals. I was thinking if you had just 6 months to live, you'd go and do as much good as possible, right as many old wrongs before you passed away

1) Pay off my house for the wife/kids. Not tenough time, but I'd do my best to make things financially stable.

2) Start smoking pot

3) masterbate daily

4) Hrmm, I don't know what else.

Probably kill a few of the 'holes that really have it coming... 6 months wouldn't be long enough to kill 'em all :(

A nice way to end one's days, to be sure.

I would do all the things that are gobs of fun, but lower your life expectancy, such as skydiving, flying ultralights, and all that other good stuff. As I'm single, I would get a massive loan from the bank, which I would never have to pay off, and give lots of money to UNICEF. And a second mortgage, while I'm at it, and a few Platinum Cards. I would go to LANparties constantly, and pump raw caffine into my veins. I would try all sorts of funky drugs, too-why worry about long-term effects if you're dead?
Right before I die, I guess I'd try to go out as spectacularly as possible. I guess I would like to jump off Angel Falls, without a parachute. Maybe I could get a bunch of sparklers, so I looked really cool as I plunged twoards my doom.

First I would not disclosed the info the doc gave me.

I would then spend a lot of "quality" time with family and friends.

I wouldn't do anything that could land me in jail leaving me to rot in a cell for the remainder of my days. Other than that I would do pretty much whatever I wanted which is spend a lot of time with family and the outdoors, travel and anything that came to mind.

Try to fulfill as many of my goals as possible before I die. And I'm not talking about buying expensive stuff, more like personal goal. Obviously, I'd spend money like there's no tomorrow as well.
