Which brings up the question....

Would you really want to know?

**ARtraveler** · 11-20-2012, 07:55 PM

The article brings up some interesting discussion points.

Do I really want to know how long I may be expected to live now that I am into the high 60's?

We can also take a test to find out if we are going to get Alzheimers or not. Not sure I want to know that either.

Life can get a little scarry as we approach that "allotted" 70 year mark. I guess I will choose to live in "blissful ignorance" for now. This is just IMO stuff of course.

It's obvious you guys are not paying attention. We've all only got 30 days left.

It's just the beginning of the end.

It is said that if man has a great imagination and wishfully thinking he will live a long life.
I guess I fit that catageory.. as I shall live to be 198 and shot at by a jealous husband as I am jumping over the fence while my girl friend is waiting in the get-a-way car.

Is the girlfriend in the getaway car the wife of the jealous husband or is she your girlfriend helping you getaway from the jealous husband and now probably the jealous wife?????????
Am not sure how many you can cope with aged 198 but guess if you are able to jump over the fence anythings possible

They were all too worried about December 12. I like our calendars...they only show one year of pending doom at a time.

I like your sense of style!

I'm figuring that a Viking funeral with a burning boat might be nice.... Dump all of the garbage out to sea!

Well, last year I had colonoscosphy and my Dr said your good till next 5 years . After my surgery my wife ask me how was it. I told her the truth and told her my warranty was extended to 5 years.

Well, Last saturday my Gallbladder was taken out, I'm still recovering painfully. If I only know this ahead of time I would never ate fried foods, or any greassy food and salty of anything. My Dr who taken my gallbaldder out said he have never seen an anger gallbladder

. Next monday I got follow up post ops and hope some kind off extention of warranty.

It's not how long you live?, It's how well you live?

**Bob Denman** · 11-21-2012, 02:47 PM

Hang in there and heal well!

Most of us would have taken better care of ourselves if we had been warned that we might live this long!

**boborgera** · 11-21-2012, 05:36 PM

The two hardest things to say in life are,

Hello for the first time ,

And Goodbye for the last time.

One of my best friends, a Pastor in MI, told me, "we're all bullet proof till the Lord calls us home". He should know, he was in a B-52 that was hit by a SAM during Desert Storm.

You mean they weren't taken too seriusly. (little poetic license)

**bruiser** · 11-21-2012, 07:55 PM

I don't really want to know either. I figure it's going to be soon anyway. Just need to make sure I've got my house in order.
