    Your doc tells you that you will die in 10 days.
    It is absolute and irreversible, the death will be immediate & painless.
    What do you do with your last 10 days?

    Let's assume we will all spend time with friends/family and make good on our affairs.

    I would try a drug like heroin to see what it is like.
    Probably pay for some kind of depraved sexual fantasy.
    Skydive/Bunjee jump/Extreme thrill
    Try to do something that would result in a high speed police chase through a city (Always loved that thought)
    Punch a few people who deserve it in the face (Or tell them a few home truths)

    Record some video messages for the kids to watch when they are older.

    Test drive and then rob a fancy Mercedes sports car and speed around in it.
    Punch some people i dont like.
    Stop going to work (obviously).
    Tell my family/boyfriend how much they mean to me.
    Play with my dog a lot.

    This is a great question - i cant think of much though!

    What happens if you're like Dermot from Fair City and don't actually die?

    Well I'd walk out of work right now, we'd contact the hospital and get them to bring my wife's C-section as immediately as possible, then I'd get my hands on some speed or anti-narcoleptic drugs and spend as much time as humanly possible with my wife & two daughters, taking as much video as possible and writing down as much as possible for them to read when they're older.

    Thanks for the depressing thread OP.

    Apply online for the largest personal loan my bank will give me. Once that's drawn down (usually takes a week), it's time to buy expensive gifts for family and friends.

    I might try and do a kerouac on it lock myself in a room with a pile of amphetamines and try and churn out a book. Aside from that I'd eat everything I wanted. Drink everything I wanted. Use every drug I wanted. Listen to music all the time. Talk with all my loved ones as much as I could. Go to mass and confession then just chill.
