MuzikTyme Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 One thing to remember and I quote: "As soon as you're born you're dying."
Steel2Velvet Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 I once followed a series on U.S.A. National Public Radio that featured interviews with centenarians; and not those simply vegetating in nursing homes, but those who still live active lives. After a year long study across the nation, the reseacher/host/interviewer came to the conclusion that there were 4 commonalities with all these active ancients. 1. Not surprisingly, a willingness to exercise beyond normal movement. 2. Because most centenarians outlive not only their spouses and early friends, but children as well - they possess a non-destructive means for dealing with grief. 3. Initially the interviewer wanted the centenarians to recall their past, but found most insisted on talking about their future plans; concluding that compelling goals were vital to long life. (One 106 year-old woman had recently enrolled in Spanish language lessons, at a nearby community college. Her granddaughter said she had to "schedule" times to lunch with her "more active" grandma!) 4. A very good sense of humor, quick wit and eager laugh. Live well and long, my friends.
Jenny Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 I got five stars and will live to be 97. There were no cholesterol questions, though. I have had two grandfathers pass away in their '70's due to atheroscelerosis, so I have my cholesterol checked every year.
miamisammy29 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Damn! I was doing good until the last two questions. Anyhow, it was nice knowing you guys. You're all pretty cool.

I have had two grandfathers pass away in their '70's due to atheroscelerosis, so I have my cholesterol checked every year. didn't it ask questions about heart disease? I don't remember, but I thought it did...
Epiphany Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 94. I hope that Botox won't decrease my longevity though.
Shawna Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 I hope that Botox won't decrease my longevity though. Perhaps not. But it will certainly decrease your ability to show facial expressions.
Rayzor Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 I smoke and drink regularly. I rarely eat veggies. But I will live to be 77? I got 4 stars silly, silly game... underestimate me will you! :beady:
c_s_1987 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) 81, it's the alcohol Same here. I got 82, but I could have got 88 with less drinking. I don't think I could do that. Edited January 30, 2009 by Guest
Kevin Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 67 - not too pleased with that ... Think I'll pt Joe and see if he'll act as a stand -in for a couple of hundred or so ...
RonJonSurfer Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 83...at 50 today I think I'd sign on for that.
TheLizard Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 I'm going to kick it at 66. Thank goodness, I don't want a long life.
_Laurie_ Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 I don't like the sound it made when I put in my weight...
Shawna Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 good heavens. I was unaware it made a sound. I keep my speakers turned off. I'm thankful for that now.
MuzikTyme Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 According to the information I've read, I should have already been dead. Just goes to show and I quote: "Don't believe everything you read." I'm a walking, talking example of the previous fact. Interesting thread, nevertheless. Even if I died tonight/today, it wouldn't be that far from the day/night I was born. Eternity is for ever and ever . . . . . .
Steel2Velvet Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 I'm going to kick it at 66. Thank goodness, I don't want a long life. There may be some Taliban interested in speaking with you, Tim.
TheLizard Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 I'm not going to blow myself up...
Farin Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 you're comparing not wanting to have a long life with wanting to murder dozens of innocent people?
Steel2Velvet Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Ah gee ... I know MC does not want to kill anyone. And I certainly do not endorse anyone doing so. Need all walk on eggshells constantly on this site?
TheLizard Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 I think we're all just confused as to what your point was.
Steel2Velvet Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 I think we're all just confused as to what your point was. Merely trying to lighten up the discourse. Seems as though that precedent has already been set in the SF forums. Paraphrased replay: "Don't care to live long - see the Taliban ..." Way too vague? Offensive? Not in my job description?
