Yeah, Gene Hackman & his wife's death death got me thinking too. I doubt i'd suffer the same fate, but just to be safe, i've decided to lay off the rodent urine for a while. At least till hunting season in November.

A poet would have put it like this:


I've met the perfect woman,
I could not ask for more.
She's deaf and dumb amd oversexed
And owns a liquor store.


Don't be the darkness.

America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

I love the smell of burning dimocrat money in the morning just after an election.

Just don’t forget to dig up the mason jars under the tractor—my sister’ll get a letter with the details when I’m gone.
Anyone else figure they’ll go out solo?

I’ll prolly be similar.

Hopefully my folks are gone by then.

Usually around a lot of family, friends and co workers, but occasionally am in the middle of nowhere and don't see people for days at a time.

Won't be my problem if I'm a decomp on discovery. Better that way anyway, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

MPat70, we’ll all die “alone” but most with some folks around us. Or at least nearby. I feel badly for you and your family situation.

There was a guy like that in Bailey, Colorado back in the eighties. He would walk and hitch hike the fifteen miles or so into Aspen Park, where he would get ice cream at the Coney Island and a little sack of groceries. Then he would disappear again for a couple weeks. He was known to everyone and didn't cause trouble, did not speak much, and so on. Eventually he was found frozen stiff in his little shack with a stash of cash, several hundred thousand if I remember correctly.

Just depends on where and when I hit the floor. While I live alone I would be missed in a matter of a few days maybe three at most. I still work but don't report to an office but when my office started getting reports that I wasn't calling people back the same day they leave a message they would know somethings up. My guess is there's a good chance I will die alone but probably be ok with the thought of it. If I had a wife and children I might look at it differently.

If I were you, I would arrange with one of your relatives to get a text from you daily, weekly or what ever. It doesn't need to be anything wordy, just something to let them know that you are still upright. The police will do a n/c welfare check if someone asks about a relative in your situation.

I was talking to my wife and son about some of the terrible jobs that we have all had. I talked about cleaning down inside the blood tank at the packing house, my wife talked about being a CNA at the hospital cleaning up dead people for viewing. My son trumped us all with sanding a dead guy out of the floor refurbishing a rental property. That living alone thing can kind of sucks at times.

That's what I would do. I call my moms 90 yo husband every day. 2-3 minute chat. Helps that I really love and like the guy.

sounds like a good business idea , a company that checks on email from you everyday and calls 911 otherwise. and it can be easily automated.

I'm still kind of wondering why they didn't have at least a part time maid, cook or a lawn man. 🤔

Hmm. I wonder how the dog will eat if you die.
Better make a plan for that.

MPat70: I share a lot of your sentiments. But I can recall on at least 1,000 (one thousand!) occasions when I would have pleaded for the "black people" I took into custody they would have smelled like "vanilla", instead of what they did smell like!
Now I am NOT saying that all black people smell bad, I am saying that black whores, black pickpockets, black pimps, black drug addicts and the like DO smell bad.
Having also dealt with thousands of more normal "black victims" they smell about the same as everyone else.
My, special people dislike, these days (besides demonrats!) are todays crop of spoiled brat, entitled, arrogant, drifty, tattooed, disrespectful, nostril punctured nose ring wearing, neck bent, face in their cell phone constantly, teenagers!
I hope you can find a companion at this stage in your life.
Professionally I handled way to many "stinkers" (people that died alone and started the horrific smelling process of decomposition!) and I always thought it sad that they were alone and not checked on often.
Such is life.
Wishing you well.

He didn't have the mental facilities left to care either way. She might have liked doing for him herself. Having never seen the place, quite possibly it was landscaped to never need caring for on a regular basis. I'm sure they weren't hurting for money but some people just don't need to be cared for.

This thread sure hit home for me. When I was young I always thought I would get married and have kids but never happened. I’m looking for property and will build a shop and a loft to live in. It’s all I need. Hopefully I can find a good woman to live with me. I’m not close to any relatives . Went 25 years from hearing from my brother but now I get a text once a year which is good. I guess Ive been a hermit my whole life. I was hoping for a career in music to finish the remaining years of my life but that’s not happening. At age 65 I still work more than part time. It’s a social life also. I need to bring change to my life. As to Gene Hackmans story, they could have had a guest house with someone helping take care of them. We make our choices!!
