Popping your clogs

Started by: First Mate (2385)

Nobody likes to think about shuffling off this mortal coil. Have you ever thought when that time comes. Will you be reunited with those you hold dear, or is that it? Just interested to know what you think.

It's my opinion that when you've gone you've gone.
Others would disagree.

I reckon when you're gone, you're gone, but you only live on in those who loved and cared for you in life.

Here's my other thought though. Once the body dies, and there's no doubt that it will when there is no longer any brain activity, the only thing that has energised us in life is electricity.

Now, as electricity cannot be killed, it has to go somewhere, but where? Into the national grid; into the power sockets; into other life forms?

Mollie, when your gone, you're gone BUT, you leave behind seeds and knowledge, As a gardener I see this every year, Nature grows and replenishes for the next generation, life go's on and will do forevermore,

As i was mowing my lawn this morning, Some jovious Witnesses came past and started preaching to me, they said , " you and the lord are doing a fine job of your garden" I answered, " Thank you, When I came here 17 years ago, the lord had looked after it alone and, he made a right mess"

"electricity cannot be killed"

Course it can. Simply switch it off. Why do think a 'kill' switch is called a 'kill' switch? If it has nowhere to go, it's 'dead', even when it's 'live'!
It can only return to where it came from. If you stop it from returning to where it came from, it's dead.
It's 'potential' still exists, but the actual electricity is dead.

(There will be no charge for that information! )

I'll try that next time it's lightning.

Lightning only strikes when it makes a circuit with Earth, If it was possible to isolate Earth, the circuit wouldn't be made and no electricity would flow. The potential would be there, but no flow, hence, no lightning!

Laaaaike!

Once you have gone you become a memory or just forgot about

Hence you live on in someone's memory.
Any way I'd like to think I go somewhere. Not in an urn on a mantle piece.

As a child at 5 years old, I attended St Marys Skool Birchley and was taught by nuns, Nuns are said to be Gods Wives and if those 2 nuns who taught me are up there with God, I'm not going there, They were meaner than a grizzly with a sore arse, They beat the shite out of us and if they did that today, they'd be in jail,,
