Most of the boring people I know may appear to live longer, to those around them, only because there was little no difference between when they were living and when they were dead. I know several like that, too cheap to do anything for fun, lived wasted lives in my opinion. My boss is like that.

I should have held on to my own beer a little more. Maybe all the disks in my back and neck would still be on top of each other. Wouldn't trade any of my "adventures" for anything including more time on the back end though.
Good friends and good times. I tune out and try to delete the bad ones, makes looking back fun.

No Sam, they don't. I'll use my old man for an example. Though I loved him as only a son can love his father, he was the most boring man I've ever known. Only time I am aware that he imbibed a drink in the last 35 years of his life was one time he had a beer with me after a great personal milestone on my part and we celebrated. He gave up his pipe tobacco when he married my mom in the early 70s, and didn't start again until all us kids were grown and gone, and I bought him a pipe for christmas a few years before he died. He never went to parties, or did anything that wasn't boring. Worked a lot, went to church a lot. Died at age 60 from from cancer. I figured if that's what happens when you live so clean a life, I might as well enjoy myself and at least go to my grave having had more fun. Maybe he and I'll compare notes one day on his farm where the milk cows are gentle, and the corn is always high, or maybe not. To be fair I'm pretty boring these days myself though.

I'll second that. I always felt that people that keep busy live longer, especially old folks.

Looks like lifespan is invariant with boring.

Boring people don’t live at all, much less longer. They simply exist. [bleep] that.
