Title: Make a list just in case you loose your marbles!!!
Post by: Sandy on February 03, 2011, 08:41:46 pm
Just watched the TV and they said very few people know thier parents likes and dislikes and if they for some reason loose thier speech or have dementia for example, know one knows simple things about them. Well I thought it was fun and I am starting by putting mine as I am loosing it fast ;) (mind you my young hubby knows what I like ;) )
Food
Love Salmon, greens of any sort, Sued, apple pie but real I will eat most things, not keen on cold pasta but everything else in abundance.
Love licorice sweets or aniseed of any kind, not a big chocolate fan, and not bothered about ice cream
Music
Well a mix of classicle and prodigy and other stuff but no way middle of the road stuff, I would throw a wobbly if I got middle of the road stuff all day!
Film
Lord of the rings, errrrrrrrrrr fun films like meet the paents etc and travel stuff
TV
House programmes such as Location, grand designs, etc etc, Shameless and travel olike Micheal Pailin
Do not like any form of sloppy stuff, tripe is horrid, those romantic novels and songs that break your heart.......
So????? whats yours???



Do not like sloppy food or music and cannot spell!!!!

I couldn't put a happy reply to this , as if I was to lose my marbles ....IF ?  ::) ::) ::) I wouldn't want to carry on ..full stop ... I have told my nephew that if that happens to me , just give me a big box of end it now pills .
He works in a care home as does his wife , her sister and mother and my sister , so I get to hear about all that goes on in there ... no thanks !!! not for me ... give me the pills please .....sign out ... job done .
 My nephew is of a similar mind to me , and I hope he would be able to do this for me . If he wasn't though , I suppose it wouldn't make any difference to me , as I would be out there in la la land , away with the fairies , so I wouldn't give a flying f**k !!!
So it will be down to me to do it just before I get to bad ... if and when the time comes....or have I missed that time already ?? ...don't answer that  !!!!

cheers

Rustyme

Perhaps if we could all try to consume less aspartame and fluoride we might be in with a chance of retaining our marbles for a bit longer. Failing that I am in the shoot me now and use me for compost club!

Love woodland, my best friend as a teenager was Velta, my first doga mongral (weren't they all mongrals then?) Patch, had a cat called smokey, she was grey but went up the chimney and thats the last I saw of her, love FOrest and woodland, just love trees and the wind and rain but not keen on heat or beaches, love strong coffee and like  toffee!!!!!! Mum used to make her own and it was nice!!!!!!!!!

I wrote my funeral wishes a few years ago when I was 40, just because I reckon there will be nobody around to know - regardless of my state of mind at the time ::)

As for the rest, I reckon if they respect that I am vegetarian and allergic to mushrooms/fungus (includes quorn and blue cheese but strangely not penicillin as a drug ??? ) then they can put me in front of a TV and play most kinds of music and I'd probably manage or not know I wasn't happy ::)

For the record, in case I know any of you better by that point ;) I have asked for a non-religious but non-humanist/atheist ceremony to be run by a named friend who has agreed in principle (tho only a few years younger so I may need a substitute ;) ) I want a cotton shroud or at most a willow or rowan casket and a woodland burial, preferably on my land if I own any by then, or within sight of Ben Ledi if that is feasible.  I have also asked that any friends/family who remain at the time, gather around a fire and each one tells one story of their relationship with, or experience of me, something that shares aspects of my very varied life with others who may not know that part of me.  If it was legal I'd make the fire a funeral pyre up on a cliff top but it isn't at present, so have suggested they make the fire of silver birch and either walk or dance on it once they're done with the stories.  Or stand and support if they don't fancy that ;D

I constantly discover new TV and films and music so I'm open to most things, but if Lucinda Drayton is still able to sing and remembers me then she'd be my first choice as I love her voice above most.

I've also got a draft "will" tho it isn't formalised as I keep changing bits - legally it all goes to my sister but she's 6 years older and no experience with animals or smallholding so I've had to make some recommendations ;)

Meantime I enjoy House, CSI:NY, Strictly Come Dancing, films with a twist but not too much violence, historical dramas and a wide range of things I can engage with.  I loathe comedy shows, particularly the canned kind, soaps and daytime trash shows of the Springer/Kyle type :(

Music: some classical, some rock, some folk, some spiritual, some R&B, some jazz, some choral..even some pop :o but not all that falls under those labels by any means :o

Younger men - would theoretically be a luxury, but I don't have one of any age to comment on ::)

Food/sweets - love broccoli, pineapple, apples, baked tatties with cheese, but also a bit of a carb addict  :-[  Don't drink much but a small G&T without ice would be nice :)  Prefer salted popcorn to sweet and pringles to sweets but do overdo the chocolate on occasion, despite being good more often now :)

Actually most folk think I lost my marbles in the last 2 years anyway and they may have a valid point but maybe it's me who has come to their senses and the rest of society that's believing the illusions ;D

Thing is, if you loose your marbles, are you going to actually CARE what you are eating/watching/doing anyway!? And are you going to remember what you did enjoy when you were sane (ish) ?  ;) :D

I love the idea of a no fuss woodland funeral, I would probably have my ashes scattered, half in Scotland and half in Leicestershire!!!! No way am I going to let people I leave behind spend thier share of any money on my funeral, simple and cheap, just like me!!!

ELLIED   this is the other half writing this          my father used to say they will either bury me for the love or bury me for the smell
only last Thursday we  attended our  first humanist funeral and thought it was not to bad now having been baptised in the church of Scotland (mother and father were religious) i had an idea that i get a priest to conduct the ceremony(in the course of my work i met a priest that was in my view switched on to my way of thinking) now Lillian wants to be buried in the wood grave dug with the digger (19ft deep no chance of getting back out)
as to the marbles i have always been a rebel without a cause losing my mind i don't think affects the person that is losing it now blindness that is something i just could not cope with
i also had an idea for the ashes to split in two half at a particular spot and the other half on some exotic beach

For the moment i know where my marbles are there on top of the wardrobe in a bag ;D. I read that old shepherds were buried with a hank of wool so that when they got to heaven god would under stand and forgive working on the sabbeth, nice thought.
