Bottom line I went from healthy and strong to having 3 separate cancers in my body at the same time, dealt with one by one I love to see Cancer getting its ass kicked!! Great job! You're one tough son of a bich, stay that way and never give up. The only ones ever defeated by cancer are the ones that give up, look it straight in the eye and say not today. I conversed with Ivan (bigbuck215) quite a bit and even though he knew his cancer was terminal and it was going to get him he never gave up, I have the utmost respect for a man like that. Keep kickin' it!

Alcohol is a big killer.
So are carbs. It was sugar and processed foods that damn near got me. I have to admit, I do miss sugar a little.

Almost went under twice in the last year. Currently in remission from Leukemia. Was in the hospital 37 days because I got pneumonia during Chemo treatment. Working on hotrodding my '37 Olds. Bone marrow transplant expected end of July - beginning of August. Nothing comes to me but through The Father. Right now I feel like I did two years ago. Pretty good. Dad is 90 and Mom is 84. I'm 65. I wish you guys luck and good health. Every one of you.

in general and on average, women outlive men by some 8 years.
said another way, men die on average at an 8 year earlier time than women.
why is that? does anyone know for sure? i sure don't know. but do know women are out there.

I am 54 and I figure I’ve got roughly 25 good years left. Most of the men in my family have lived into their mid to late 80’s. My dad is 87 but his last good year was 6 or 7 years ago. He has been in assisted living for the past year. His problem is that there’s nothing wrong with him that’s gonna kill him. So, he just keeps struggling along... What to do with the time left? Well, I keep working & saving my money... Once retired: more travel, more shooting, more eating out. I don’t want to live where I am now once I retire. I am only here for the money. I would like to have a place where I can walk out my back door to a shooting bench on the patio. I used to have it all figured out, then I got a girlfriend ‘bout 10 years ago and she doesn’t think she wants to live in the country (she was raised on a farm). I learned a lot about what not to do by watching my parents in retirement. I am not going to have a big house built with landscaping on all sides, on an acre lot in a subdivision and spend my final years tending to all that chit and falling behind a little more with each passing year. My parents held out 2 or 3 years longer than they should have. I cut the grass the last 3 years and my brother’s and I worked our asses off getting that place cleaned up and on the market to sell. I don’t have any kids to clean up my ‘dream home’ gone wrong. My retirement home is gonna have grass right up to the g  d d&#n concrete foundation walls!! Somewhere between age 75-80 I will divest myself of real estate.

No telling, a minute to 20 years or more.
Glad I have no earthly idea when the end will rear its ugly head.
I'm 71 and my brother 5 ears older . . .
Planning and "Old Farts Lark" trip starting in ABQ and encompassing NM,AZ, UT, Co for sure.
Some fishing for sure and no other firm plan otherwise.
After that, it will be take life as it comes and hope for good health up to the end!

Went for annual checkup yesterday at my heart doctor. Now, I've never had heart trouble, but there is a family history of it with both my father and grandfather dying of heart attacks. He is giving me a stress test today, so I'll know more about how much time I have left later......lol.
Seriously though, I don't really think about it, I just try and live like I always have. I had great memories of my grandparents and what all they did for me, and I'm trying to pass that on down to my grandkids. I'm 69, and I still think back about them all the time. I can only hope that I leave such an impression on my grandkids, that they will do the same.

I'm 57 and hoping for 20 more years. My goal is to have all my affairs in order so the kids don't have a freaking mess to deal with. Beyond that, if I can put some money away to make things better for them so be it. I've had my fun. When my day comes, I can't take it with me, and I'd like to be able to set them up for an easier life.

I have some pretty darned good genes, my parents lived well into their mid to late 90s, but my progeny are doing their darnedest to cut that shorter...
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

72 years old, had bad heart attack and a tripple bypass a little over 20 years ago.
Bad case of blood poisoning from copper dust about 17 years ago, which cost me a liver (liver transplant 13 years ago).
Now have a very bad blood clot in liver and 3 doctors have told me it’s the end of the line. In the mean time, I’ve had 2 hips replaced, a carotid artery flushed out and a pretty bad case of a sepsis infection. Well that’s all I remember now.
I’m hoping I get to see the 444 Marlin I’m having Turnbull Restorations work on now. It’s ok though, it’s for my grandson anyway.
How much time do I have ?
I don’t know, but I’m not buying any green bananas !!
