If you knew you only had a couple of hours left, would you do something you don't already do?
Why? If it's a good thing, why aren't you doing it already?
And if it's something that is, say, illegal - why would you all of a sudden feel the need to do it in your last remaining hours? Would it give you some sort of peace or something??

I would spend the time hugging my daughter and telling her I love her.
Edit: and I already do it. Every time I see her.

Yes, I'd walk out into the bush without map or compass, food or shelter and I'd walk and enjoy the beauty until I laid down to die. This way my family wouldn't have to pay to cremate me or anything, I'd just leave a note explaining things and saying goodbye. Then I'd go and give my flesh to those still living so that they may take it back into the cycle.... without having to wait for a box to decompose first. There is something so repulsive about being buried in a box in a cemetary to me.. burn me or let me be eaten in the bush by all the creatures great and small I say.
I'm not doing that already because I'm not ready to die just yet.. when I am that is what I will do.

I can think of a few things I've never done that I'd like to try if I knew that I wouldn't get another chance. Sky diving. Hang gliding. Driving a race-tuned car on a track. Maybe even smoking pot.
But the reality is that I would probably just spend the time telling my family how much I love them, and all the things about them that I think are wonderful, and that I hope they will be happy in their future lives.

I would pig out on a fattening meal and desert. Maybe order some pizza, grab a BigMac which is something I never eat, then go pickup the pizza. Not much time so can't really dine out at a nice place where you could die watching to get served. Then give my daughters some sage last minute advice as their father, "Every guy is after one thing at first, so don't trust the perverted b******s. Also, don't believe that Jesus junk."

I'm doing those good things already. That's part of living my life now rather then living my life for an afterlife.
No, I wouldn't do anything illegal.
I'd spent my last 2 hours putting my affairs in order and talking with my family/friends.

I think I would talk to them about the things we will do when we are together again, I would remind them of the good things we had done together and how much I love them. I would also make sure that they understood that their hope is in Jesus Christ and that for us to be an eternal family is depend ant on all of us being the best that we can and following Jesus Christ.

Hand write some letters of encouragement and last minute advice on life (Follow the prophet, read the scriptures daily, hold family home evening things like that).

Good question. I think that I would like to have all my children and all my grandchildren gathered around me so that I may remind them of my never ending love for them. I would also share my testimony of Jesus Christ (again) with them and admonish them to be true to the faith that our forebears have cherished.
I think I might even throw in a "love each other and be kind to each other." I'm hoping that if I reminded them of such things while I was at death's door that it might have a lasting effect upon them.

I'd SOOO sluff work today! Seriously, I get paid minimum wage.. would the pay from one 4-hr shift really be worth the time I could use doing other things??
Hang out with my family. Get hold of my sil(s) and beg/plead that they go to lunch with me. Call my bro (that I don't talk to much) and ask to go to dinner with him and his new sweetie. Make love to my own sweetie one last time, and ask him to hold me til I'm gone.
Yeah, that's what I'd do-- just say my goodbyes.

I would continue down the path I am already on. I am trying to do my best to be like the Savior, and even in doing my best, I know I am falling way short of his example and am sorry about it.
