When ya wake up , you got that moment and only that moment. Moment by moment , one moment after don’t mean shiet . Hide under rock or live what you love Only two choices I see Kenneth
Some of us are different. I've been expecting to die in the next five minutes for 45 years. That's a good/bad thing. Appreciation of the moment is the pro. Preparation for 10 minutes from now...when I'm still here, is the con.
and don't worry about after life , the first 10,000 years is paper work. are you telling me among all the angels you meet there isn't one to make a deal.
If I don't get my blood pressure meds I might stroke out by the end of the day, been running 160-170 over 105- 110 since 4 this morning. Computers down at Walgreens.
I plan to be shot by a jealous boyfriend when I'm 104.
I have a similar line. I want to be like my great granddad who got married at 103. When they asked him why he wanted to get married at 103 he replied, “didn’t want to, had to.”

That's pretty darn high sir, might want to stay away from women for the rest of the day.....or until the Walart pharmacy is back online....
Dad just drove off (yep I said drove off) and he'll be 96 next month. Dad said years ago, he planned to go fishing on his 100th birthday. His brother, 6 yrs younger, said he'd dig the bait. Looks like both are gonna make it.

As miserable as you are you will probably live to 150.
I’m already on narrowed time! Three weeks before my 18th birthday my father died. Less than a month later I was rushed to the ER due to a bad allergic reaction to red dye. Doc went through my family history and told me I’d be dead by 40. Well, I’m a few years beyond that and try to work out and eat somewhat right, though I do like to eat. Heart disease is an issue on my mom’s side and my dad’s side was all cancer. My dad died at 60, his sisters lived to be in their 80’s with one to 96. My mom has outlived everyone in her family, but they all made it well past 60 including the chainsmoker that died in her 70’s. How the hell that doc got 40, I have no clue.
When God wants me off this earth I will Die Until then I work and plan for my future. And I have no idea when God will take me back home.
^^^^This^^^^ Though about planting some pecan trees from the nut. Then I thought, "I'm 72 years old! What good are th4y going to do me?" Then I thought, "Who cares? I just want to start some pecan trees!"
Old man in his early 90's was sitting in the coffee shop. 9ne of his friends comes in, "Bill, I ain't seen you around. What's been going on?" "You know I married that 25 year old girl.", Bill replies. "How's that working out for you, sexually?" "Well, in the morning, my son comes by the house on his way to work and helps me get on. In the afternoon, him and three or four of his buddies come by and help me get off." "Bill, why does it only take one to get you on, but 4 or 5 to get you off?" Bill says, "Oh, I fight 'em!"
Two old geezers bumped into each other in town. "Joe! I ain't seen ya in a while! Where you been?" "Oh, I been in jail Fred.", Joe said. "In jail? What in the world were you in jail for?" Fred asked. "You remember that widow I was messing around with Fred?, Well, she charged me with rape." Joe mused. "Joe! At yore age! They put YOU in jail for rape?" Fred asked. "Nope," Joe said, "They put me in jail for perjury, I pled guilty!"
Trust Jesus Christ to save your soul from Hell. I made that decisioin 40 years ago and have never looked back. No worries about the future --eternity in heaven with the one who shed his blood to save me.
I'm pretty much just wandering around waiting for some dingleberry who wants to make his bones be faster than me or whatever and end up shooting me in the face. Or more likely in the back what with the kind of people that don't have any balls nowadays. Fück em.
in 5 years my probability of dying goes to 85% (which means 100%) , how about you and what am i supposed to do?
.
how old r u now
69
well i am 76, probably shoiuld have been dead 7 or 8 times already, cancer 3 times ,still fight it , 2 heart attacks, run over by a stud horse , bucked off ,dove off. 2 serious truck accidents . run over by a bunch of logs rolling down a hillside, plus a few other incidents. just get up and keep going , my mom left this world at 3 months shy of 100 ,will i make it?????????
The day I realize I’m surviving, not living, I’m driving out into the mountains, walking a few miles, sitting down and eating a 158gr .357 mag. My terms.
Sad eating a bullet, I went thru that with my grandma some 50 some year's ago. Never ever do that to your family. Go sit in the woods and die on your time
For me, I wouldn’t wait and see what happens if I had 5 years left.
I’d Make sure my will, estate, inheritance is in order. Go do the things you always wanted to do. Take your kids on a Family trip to Hawaii. Hunting trip to Alaska or Africa or New Zealand. Things like that. You can’t take that money to the grave and you don’t want to be the richest guy in the cemetery.
The average life expectancy fit males in the US in 2022 is 78 years and a little change. Your 69, in 5 years you'll be 74. At that point you're +/- 95% of the way there. Anything after that is a bonus. Not sure what you thought your odds would be, and I doubt you would need a doctor to figure that out for you unless you have a terminal condition. Keep in mind that life on earth is a terminal condition. What you do between now and then is up to you. That's the thing about death. I figure you can hide in the corner and wait for it. Or you can make it run you down and earn it.
I don't believe in any types of calculations. According to that carp, I should have died in Vietnam, or on any one of the couple of hundred wildfires I worked. A family history of alcohol,dementia, and heart issues of which I have none. You have more health issues but don't get set on a date, do what you want within reason and enjoy every day you can. Your time will come in due time.
"in 5 years my probability of dying goes to 85% (which means 100%) , how about you and what am i supposed to do?"
First off, quit worrying about it. Lightning could strike tou tomorrow. You could be a in car wreck any day now, mugged and murdered. When it's your time, you ain't got one damn thing to say about it.
January 2, 2020 I was in a bad wreck in my pickup truck . I damn near died, but I didn't. My sternum was broken in four placed and my heart badly bruised. But I survived. February 27, 2021 I had a heart attack. Cause was believed to be due to damage from the wreck. I survived again.
In March of this year I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. I'm fighting it and I'm gonna beat the hell outof it. BTW, I'm 84 years old. I'd consider myself damned lucky it I knew I was gonna have five more years. I've always thought some jealous husband would be the cause of my demise. One came close.
My standing joke is."Heaven won't allow me in and hell is afraid I'll take over." What keeps me going is my sense of humor. As long as you have that, you're laughing in the face of old Mr Death. Death is inevitable. Enjoy every day you have left. When I wake up in the morning, I reach up and if I don't have something blocking my hands, I know I made it through another night. You can do the same. If I go tonight, it won't hurt my feelings. If I have another five or even ten years I'll just thank God for the time and live the best way I know how.
Live every day like it's your last one on the top side of the grass. Plan, hope, and dream like you've got another 50 years to go. Anything in between is good.
This one is more accurate in my opinion. I have various family members who have reached their milestones and barring some unforeseen issue I think I can match that.
in 5 years my probability of dying goes to 85% (which means 100%) , how about you and what am i supposed to do?
Do the same thing everyone should do: LIVE. Get the "f" out there and do the things that give your life meaning. If you're far enough out there and going at it fast enough, a) death may not be able to find or catch you and b) you may forget to fall over.
When I was 10-ish, I was told I'd die when I was 34. I lived 'til I finished 33 thinking I was f-ing bulletproof, spent a year looking over my shoulder, and treated every day since .. 24 years .. like a gift I never expected to receive.
My advice .. stay the "f" away from ouija boards. Whether demon-possessed, devil-derived, or merely "gack", the notions they can put in our heads are evil and harmful and .. etc. Sometimes well-meaning but misguided doctors are just as bad.
Do you mind if I ask why you have an 85% chance of dying?
I had two, in the late 1990's. Stents were implanted, and I've survived numerous health crises since then, including six days in ICU with lungs full of blood clots from Covid, a massive motorcycle wreck, and a couple of other potentially deadly situations. My cardiologist says the plumbing is good now, and they just adjusted the electrical signals with an "ablation" last week. I'm planning on being around for another 25 years or so. I'm not leaving until I'm good and ready!
Late in 2017 I was in ICU and before being released ask the doctor the prognosis. He said I would be dead at the end of the year, if not then by the end of 2018. I just kept on driving forward refusing to sit around staring at white walls until I just went out. I still hunt some, shoot, eat well and do most of the cooking in sort just living better and more active then ever. In short I just kept on living and will continue.
Statistics lie, and docs can't see the future, but they can kill you by destroying your spirit.

my heart attack was dragonized as stomach flu , so i suffered needlessly for 45 minutes ( by good people of Good samaritan (san jose)). so i have a bit more damage than a normal HA.
I'm pretty sure the first one went undiagnosed, about a month before the episode that resulted in the first stent being implanted. I was too stubborn to go to the ER the first time around. About a year later, I needed a second stent. Since then, I've had several episodes of Atrial Fibrillation- - - -a runaway heart rate that requires hospitalization to get under control. The ablation I had last week is supposed to correct, or at least minimize that situation. There's an emotional condition common in heart patients known as being a "Cardiac Cripple"- - - -obsessing about potential future problems and refusing to go on living an active life. It's just as deadly, if not more so, than the physical situations associated with heart problems. Sound familiar?

ER nurses are trained by Holywood , heart attack pain is not alway a chest pain ( specially for women ) , mine was in my belly.
Mine felt like a bite of hot chili I couldn't swallow- - - - -none of the classic "chest pain- - - -left arm weakness- - - -etc." I ignored the symptoms the first time around, and waited a couple of hours before finally going to an ER when the second one happened. They had me on the operating table implanting a stent about half an hour from the time I walked into the door, after taking one look at an EKG.
If I don't get my blood pressure meds I might stroke out by the end of the day, been running 160-170 over 105- 110 since 4 this morning. Computers down at Walgreens.

my advise is to put your hand on your chest anyway , this will force them to do an EKG.

My Dr told me 4 years ago I'd likely not see 50. I'll see it in December and feel like I have more in me. I've got to stay around because I got a late start and have young kids.
The clock is wound a fellow told me in 1973. That being said it takes a lot of will power to change our habits to hopefully live longer. I went to the cardiologist 3 weeks ago. I’m determined to be 25 pounds lighter at the next exam in December.

Like the tale, "Bubba where ya going in such a hurry". "I'm gonna go pizz on the grave of that doctor who told me I just had 6 months to live".

The matter of impending death, and especially the idea of a loved one dying relatively young, was once a fuzzy and distant scene. A year ago this week we experienced the full force of that reality. Even a broad and seasoned perspective can change so suddenly.

Don't run out!
That doesn't always work out. Just me- I had to quit walgreens after they kept shorting me 1 to 5 pills every time I picked up my medication. I got to where I'd sit down in the waiting area and count them all before I would leave. It always made the asian pharmacist mad when I pointed out the shortage, and he finally told me I couldn't use my discount there any longer. Didn't matter to me. I was tired of having to count every time so some illiterate hood rat could short me a few dollars worth of meds. I haven't been to a walgreens in a very long time, but I still count my pills out of habit
Semi related- it's a sad friggin day when people like cashiers and bank tellers whose very job is to count accurately and precisely can't count or make precise change in the correct manner. All the dang bank tellers now have those electronic bill counting machines next to them because they're too stupid to make an accurate count.
They told my dad he had a 20% chance of having a fatal heart attack in his 59th year. Next year 40%, next 60%, 4th year 80%, and by the time he was 64 he would be dead 100% from a fatal heart attack. Lived to be 81.
Fugg em. They're the same people pushing covid down our throats so what do you expect? They've had the common sense educated right out of them.
in 5 years my probability of dying goes to 85% (which means 100%) , how about you and what am i supposed to do?
Well for starters it would help the experts here at the fire if you would tell us your current age? And occupation? That way they can figure the age and risks to determine the actual age of death

interestingly my ex-doctor referred me to a new doctor whose expertise is transplant. she told me i am too old for transplant.
i am 70 , retired programmer and i feel fine , last weekend i hiked 4 miles to hunt quail and turkey , didn't get any.
So, this fellow goes through all the stations at a big clinic. The doctor walks in the room with a clipboard, and says, It looks like you have 8 to live. Our man Give it to me straight Doc, years, months? Doc,7,6,5, 4.
I really can’t wrap my head around worrying about or living for anything more than today…and maybe tomorrow. If I do it right I’ll have a whole lot less stress and a whole lot more happiness than concerning myself with things that aren’t in my control.
So far today has been a good day. I met dad for coffee this morning at the local French bakery and spent a couple hours at my brother’s equipment yard catching up and chatting about our family. My wife and daughter went to a concert so the dogs and I are looking for a movie.
I’m having the dryer vent and duct cleaners coming tomorrow and then I’m setting up my flight back north where I’ll stay until just before Halloween. Each day is a great day and worrying about the future, the inevitable and the unknown is not how I’ll spend however much time I have. I will admit that I spend too much time worrying about fishing and whether the fish are in….
When your # is up. Your # is up.. And no one can do anything about it.
Live for the day. Try and influence tommorow and near term after that. Can't change the past, cause it's gone for good. But schit you learned from the past can help you out today and tommorow and near term after that. Funny how that works about the past...
