The 4th one, the surgeon, and the only one that I did ask for an opinion, just said, "you'll have to find something else to die from." I had not asked, so why did all 3 feel the need to make a prediction? What year/day did they have in my death pool? 11 1/2 years later, I now have to decide if I really want to start that journey again. Shall I wait for the predictions, or just start matching up the socks? Leave me the f**k alone does sound like the best option!Ron Jolerudnoreply@blogger.com
