Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Predicting your death?

I don’t know when but hopefully I’m fuggin a chubby chick with a hairy puzzy when I go! 😁

I come from hardy stock...

I am a descendent of the first people that got off the boat at Jamestowne in 1607. There was a 100 to 110 people on that boat, that landed in what was to be Jamestowne.

Quote from the article on Wiki:

The Jamestown[a] settlement in the Colony of Virginia was the first permanent English settlement in the Americas. It was located on the northeast bank of the James River, about 2.5 mi (4 km) southwest of the center of modern Williamsburg.[1] It was established by the Virginia Company of London as "James Fort" on May 4, 1607 O.S. (May 14, 1607 N.S.),[2] and was considered permanent after a brief abandonment in 1610. It followed several failed attempts, including the Lost Colony of Roanoke, established in 1585 on Roanoke Island, later part of North Carolina. Jamestown served as the colonial capital from 1616 until 1699. Despite the dispatch of more settlers and supplies, more than 80 percent of the colonists died in 1609–10, mostly from starvation and disease.[3] I am a descendent of the 20% that survived all of that. My early ancestors became prominent in early Colonial Colonal Virginia.




Great grand parents many generations back, were born in 1696... People lived to be 40 and that was considered old age. 50 was really old age. Robert Francis Lilly and his spouse Francine Moody were the first people to settle in what is now West Virginia in the early 1700s.

They had 16 children. The last 4 were born in wedlock. Francine *( Frankie) died in 1806. Robert Francis ( Frank ) died in 1810. ( http://mymedievalgenealogy.blogspot.com/2013/10/robert-lilly-and-mary-fanny-moody.html )

Heck, I could live to be a 100 or get hit by a bus, this time next week.

I always figured that God knows before the day we are born.. how long we are going to live and how we are going to come to our demise. So why really stress out over it. When its your time, its your time.

My granddad use to tell us what goes around, comes around, so ya better make it good. That translated in my head to: " We all have a beginning and we all have an end.. we have no control over either... we just have control of everything in between' > That is how I translated my granddad's "What goes around comes around, so ya better make it good!"

That my philosophy on it. I just spend a lot of time at my age, dodging Buses.

I've ignored this thread, don't want to think about it.
High blood pressure, fat, for years, now flirting with diabetes.
Been working on all that, but a heart attack or stroke is likely.
54, looking toward retirement. Wondering at what age?
Wondering if I can get past 62.

Dad's family, born around the turn of century, lived into the 70s to 100s. Few of Mom's saw 70. Different lifestyles though, hard work/clean living vs the opposite.


Paul,
Said a few Brother.


I'd bet you'll be prodding and stirring the pot for decades.

I am very sorry to hear that. Live your remaining life on your terms.

We are all terminal! It just a matter of time!

Being how I am 55 and have had 2 heart attacks and 4 stents installed already, I'm guessing Heart Disease will probably get me.

jeezz talk about optimism...I am 56 and believe I still have a long road to go, I expect to be around for the 2040 Phoenix event and the 2046 cataclysm that brings back the vapor canopy and resets humanity.

age 72
Do 5 chin ups and 25 push ups a day.
Walk a mile a day.
Keto diet.
Will live to 92.

Until this year, I used to spend Oct deer hunting and drive 2000 miles, but I am too old.

Wishing you luck with this, Paul.


You have a great piece of property in TN, just waiting for you to live out your golden years.

Had chicken & arsenic, last night, so probably today !

A relaxing vacation or two might help you out, Pard.

Get busy living or get busy dyin type thing...

Sorry to hear that.

Cancer SUCKS!

If I make it to my 60th birthday I'm planning to go for a walk and find a grizzly bear to wrestle.

Friend of a friend at the hunt camp said he’d die St. Paddy’s Day this year, his birthday.

Dude did the whole sex, drugs and rock n’ roll thing, lived and worked all over the world, big money, partied with royalty.

Could never overcome his demons. Decided this was the year and did it.

Indeed Paul.

Pard.

Probably 8 years ago I had horrible pain in the left thigh bone on the front side. After about a month and it not getting better I went in for an xray thinking I had a stress fracture from lifting something heavy at work. They didn't see a crack but something on the bone, infection, scaling something, they thought it was cancer, my mom died of bone cancer, so ok.

I had started taking some mexican amoxicillin before that to clear it up if it was a break and infected.

After the xray I went in for an mri and by the time it came back it had been six weeks since the first pain, and starting to go away. The mri came back zippo, the Dr was scratching his head. I said, it was probably a stress fracture same as I said two weeks ago... he reply I guess.

Never gave me a pain pill the whole time, I had to gut it out.

I don't believe Drs when it's not something obvious.

I lost 2 weeks vacation to debilitating pain in my back in April. Drs were no help. I should have taken OTC stuff and went to work. Then I could go on a 2 week, 3 state bird hunt in a couple weeks. But no, I'll be at work. Having learnt my lesson. You can be miserable at work but you can't go hunting without vacation.
