What if you get to know some how that you have only one week to live! What will you do?
Would you all of a sudden change your life's pattern and try to do the right thing for a change?
What will you do?
well.. the first thing I would do is chant "Mruthyunjaya Maha Manthra" I am pretty sure you know what it is and all about it but.. I would also try to live at my best... enjoy the best in a good way... I would go and beg pardon for all those who I have hurt even with my words.. well... the lists goes on and on.. but you know.. what kind of things I would do.. as a good guy...
Exactly what I do everyday.
live how i always do. and dont tell anyone. i dont want people feeling sorry for me in my last week.
I'd disconnect from the internet (sorry guys 
), and spend the rest of the week doing some of the things I still want to, including:Read a few books that are on the back burner due to school.
Spend several hours every day enjoying my wife's wonderful company.
Visit the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.
Visit France and Greece and Japan.
Watch the sun set every day.
Spend my last day in Hawaii.
Incidentally, this question reminds me of the movie "Meet Joe Black". Part of the story is what a man who has accomplished great things in life does when he finds that his life will soon be cut short. There are lots of places and things that I want to see and do before I die. First I would bargain to see if I could get a month out of the deal. Next I would start traveling locally and seeing some of the friends that time moves too fast for.
Tell once again to everyone important for me (my family, boyfriend, etc.) how much I love them. Meet as many of my 'old friends' that I never have time for, to tell them the same. Maybe pray a bit more than usually. And keep on enjoying the beauty of life 1 week more to live?
first of all, i would inquire if the news is not 1 week late (in that case i would not do anything).
then i would complete at least 1 artwork. Then i would make a 5000 word essay about life. Second half of the week, i would keep strolling by the beach at sunset by myself. Then i would make another painting. Last two days, i would enjoy with my friends, doing the same things i did when i wasnt with them. During the last day i would keep staring at the sunset with a friend.
i would then smile.....

Well said.
But I think I might pray just a bit harder, and try to help out people more....no sense taking any chances.Do pretty much everything I've ever been told not to do.
Hm... I wonder if I live every day? 
Seeing the answers here I'd say quite a few frihosters claim to do just that,
but I must stress robsblawg's great idea, to disconnect. We do that just to seldom.
Cellphone would be off, commercials avoided, etc. Actually, I'd try to avoid
taking in information I can't respond to. Express more then I do in everyday
life and put a bit more focus on myself and thoose I have around me. That's
my family and the cats. Actually, the cats would get lot of my time, since
they already stand with atleast one leg on 'the other side'.
There it is - spend lot's of time with cats I like the idea of taking in less information that we can not respond to anyway. IT seems like a good way to recognize all of the things we pass by. Sounds like the beginning to a serenity treatise
sky diving, and then a whole lot of hanging out with people
If the doctor would say this, then i should contact everyone i know and who give cart blanche to everyone so that they can understnad the situation where i should be living.
i would do just as normal as in the usual live. When my ends will come then i would record a message to tell everyone that they would a great help and i would thank them for the years.
If my death would be extremly painfull then i would make a will that the the docters have my authorisation to make an end to my life.
I rencently saw a friend of mine dying of ALS and the doctors gave the advice to create a artifical coma and then let the machines shut down. He's normal death should be shoaking, so at the end he didn't sufferd much.
I'd first thank God for the life I have had and all the gifts he has given me. Then, I'd spend time enjoying the gifts of this life he has provided for me. I'd pull my four kids from school, take my wife and children and go spend the week at our cabin in solitude and enjoying the nature that God provided.
We'd sauna and swim every day, bike, pick berries, walk on the beach and basically enjoy all that God has given us. Also, I'd hope that I could spread the gospel to at least a few more people and if God so will's, perhaps play a part in someone else being saved and allowed ever lasting life which is what I'd be looking forward to.
Great topic. Thanks for adding it.

A few ideas of each day:
Day 1 = say goodbye to all my local friends and that I'll see them in the next life.
Day 2 = Visit my parents and spend the day fishing with my Dad.
Day 3 = Get a baby sitter and make passionate love to my wife anywhere we think sounds good.
Day 4 = Find a hockey game to attend and find a baseball game (outdoors) somewhere to watch
Day 5 = spent at the cabin, relaxing, picking berries and listening to great music and watching the waves.
Day 6 = more sauna and swims, walking the beach etc.
Day 7 = take a long hike with our entire family and have a great picnic and simply enjoy God's beautiful nature.
Great topic. Thanks for adding it.
Try to stow away to Ireland or Japan. Both, if it's possible at all. They're the two places I know that I'll visit before I die.
