If you were to die from something PLEASANT, what would you want it be?

hypothetical examples:

*laughing to death
*heart attack during orgasm
*choking on the best meal you have ever tasted in your life

Choose any demise you want, it does NOT have to be from my list, it just has to be an oxymoronic demise: that is, it has to be something normally considered harmless and pleasant!

I'm looking for fellow writers to exchange and share work with. Like, I'll read yours if you read mine. I've tried www.greatwriting.co.uk and www.editred.com but nobody reads your work.

Suggestions?

Reverend Price Senior Pastor of the Faith Dome on Vermont Avenue in Los Angeles was quoted in an advertisment as saying "I always obey God that is why I succeed at everthing I do", this leads to three (3) Philosophical questions the last one being the most difficult!, First (1st) If I (downtown)always obey God, Will I also succeed at everthing I do? Second (2nd) If you always obey God will you succeed at everthing you do? and last; How do you explaian the fact that there are some people who do succeed at everthing they do but it's doubfull that they always obey God? Does The fact that there are some pepole who succeed at everything they do INVALIDATES and PULLS THE RUG out of Reverend Price's Quote?

I'm writing a YA historical fiction novel and have done a lot of research. I use actual names, places, and events from the 1860s. Can descendants of the people object to my using their ancestors' names? How much freedom do I have in creating their private lives?

This question is because I was curious and it's for all of you to express yourself. I, personally, have told the one I love how I feel. I don't understand why others can't.
