Default Question that a long time friend asked me?

On my way out to this year's S2K Days I stopped in Indiana to visit a long time friend that I have known since 1973. Over dinner conversation she asked me the following question: If, at your current age and place in life if you knew that you only had thirty minutes left in your life, how would you want to spend the last thirty minutes of your life?

I was surprised that my answer surprised her?

How would you like to spend the last thirty minutes of your life if you were given the choice?

I'm with ^noodels but from my point of view it wouldn't be about looks but would be about affection or sincere like / love/ respect. Ugly isn't important if you feel the connection. Your eyes may be closed.

Back when I first met her in 1973 she was "smoking HOT" and never wore a bra. But, I think that you missed the point of this thread? It is not about sex.

I guess that I did not communicate the real intention of this thread well. If you knew that you had only thirty minutes left in your life how would you wish to spend it? In other words, how would you like to spend the last thirty minutes of your life if you knew that you were going to die?

reminds me of the old steven wright line, "I want to die quietly in my sleep like my grandfather, not like his passengers screaming and yelling."

I've had a dress rehearsal a few times over the last ten years prior to surgeries.
In quiet reflection with my wife. Although a beach or a mountain top would be preferable to a hospital room.
I would add, pain free.
