I don't know the first question ! And I'm glad I don't!

In answer to the second! Spend lots of time with my wife, kids, and grand kids !

So far, I haven't been informed. Not aware of any guarantees.
Thinking about replacing my F150.
Have a young grandson that needs to catch a bunch of fish, so feel the need to help with that.
Got a moose hunt and a brook trout fishing trip, in addition to the "routine" stuff, scheduled before the end of this year.
One of my purposes in life has been to pass on some of my bad habits. Its a responsibility that I never feel has been completed.

I reckon about 20 more minutes before I either have to whizz in a coffee cup, or take my lazy ass down and over two train cars to the 'head'

My vote is coffee cup. Coffee cup wouldn't hold all my urine though. Seriously. By the time I go, I usually do half or more of a 44 oz. receptacle.

I'm 70 and still going fairly strong. Dad lived to 92 and Mom's still going at 101. My older brother died at 65 of a stroke but he was a heavy drinker and considerably overweight. Likely it was related to that. So, I have some old age genes if that counts for anything. If you live a long time, the trick is stay active. I have a string of pack llamas and love to get out on the trail with them. I'm an assistant scout leader and we take the boys on llama high mountain pack trips at least once a year. We have a campout of some kind every month of the year. This last January we were snowshowing and camped in 4' of snow.

Dentist recently told me these are the teeth I'll die with. Don't know if that's good news or bad.

This is something I seem to think about more often than I used to.........but I don’t dwell on the thought for long!


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I think I have 10 good years in me before I have to quit the physical things I'm doing and I have scaled back quite a bit from what I was doing just 10 years ago. Medically, no reason to make it to my 80's if I just lost some weight.

Bout 30 yrs .
Most of my family has kicked the bucket in their mid to late 80,s.

Living the dream till then or till a bus hits me.
Till either one.
Every day above ground is a good day.
Some on here wish the bus option would happen.


Hahaha!!!!

Be certain that you live until you die. Live like you're not gonna die. Staying true to those idioms and you'l be assured of a happy, long life

I'm a month shy of 61.

The way I'm figuring it, my family has a history of living for nearly forever as long as they steer shy of alcoholism. I'm a temperate sort, so my outlook is pretty good. Dad looked like he was 45 until he was 80. He succumbed to an undiagnosed heart problem a month shy of 85. The next spring, I found where he'd put down his spade shovel to go get ready for a visit to the doctors from which he never returned. I wouldn't mind digging ditches at 85.

I went for a colonoscopy a while back and the doc said I had a colon of a teenager. I told him I had the rest stashed in my trunk and would make him a deal.

Alcohol is a big killer.

So are carbs.
