Reminds me of a quote from my 96 year old grandmother.
Her last year she was in a nursing home. To go to my cousins wedding, the Home took her in the can equiped for wheel chairs.
They were running late and my little German Grandmother (4'11") had a big voice and yelled at the driver that he was going to be late in getting her to the wedding. He didn't know where he was going so he was hurrying around a neighborhood looking for the church. He forgot to lock down her wheel chair and it was rolling around in the back of the van with every turn. They finally made it to the church....they held the wedding for her arrival. When asked why she was late..."Well the idiot driver got lost.....BUT IT WAS ONE HELL OF A RIDE! Everyone died laughing. D in TX

So I would think you know more than you think you do, lots more. Even you.
I don't take the saying literally, just take it to mean, make the most of the time we have here, in our own ways, then end it with a bang. Live your life to the fullest, enjoy, be happy. How can anyone say they don't do this?
Hugs everyone. ♥♥♥♥
