jawjateck Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Any time is fine with me. I've had an awesome run, lived a robust, thrilling life with opportunities beyond the reach of the overwhelming majority of people who have ever lived. Longevity with a good mind would be great, but many have gone on early, why should I be exempt from that fate?

adventurous old guy Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Earlier this year I was at a health focused conference where both Bill Clinton and Joe Biden spoke. Biden was astonishing, not surprisingly very focused on cancer. He had everyone's hearts in our throats as he shared that he is devoting the rest of his life to beating it and that his life goal is to live long enough to see the cure. He was very well informed, and talked us through with fact and examples how much progress has been made since the first war on cancer during the Nixon administration. One example: Back then the premise was that cancer was a pretty consistent thing cellularly that grew in different parts of our bodies. Now we know that different cancers are not the same cellularly, and each cancer is being approached by researchers and innovators as its own thing. We're very close to cracking the codes according to Biden. Then Clinton spoke -- and essentially said that for people who get good healthcare and are focused on wellness, once cancer is beat the biologists say that average lifespan should approach 120 before everything wears out. Personally, I don't want to live that long, especially if my mind wears out first which I think it will! I believe we recycle in some way -- article of faith, can't explain beyond that -- and I've had fun this time around. Wonder what's next! + Charlie, bigvalboy, Despardo and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ poolboy48220 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I took a health appraisal in my mid-20's at work. They said I'd probably be dead by 30, car accident, alcohol related. I've beat their prediction. escortrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ sniper Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 It really depends on what shape I'm in. My sister is disabled and lives in a nursing home. Her roommate is 99 and while she uses a wheelchair, that's only because of balance issues. She can still stand and go to the bathroom etc herself and has her marbles. I'd be happy to live that long as functional as she is. My sister, who is not yet 60, has a catheter, wears a diaper, can't walk, and now her arms are starting to go. And she is fully aware of it. I would not want to live like that. Though I suppose if it happens gradually you learn to put up with it. samhexum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaffingBear Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Sorta stumped by the question. There are things that I'd like to live to see. And there are things that, I'd like to drop dead 5 minutes before they occur. + Tygerscent, Good Grief and SuperJunior 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 How old do I want to be or how old will someone from above snatch me away. Alas, I wish I knew the latter. I've seen friends who are mid 80's enjoying life like no tomorrow. I'm 63, overweight, feeling the weight on my shoulder, etc; if I could say 75 I think that's what I'd like. I want to be able to enjoy a young man with me, making them happy, probably not sexually but companionship and financially. I seem to be spending much more on escorts and boy toy's recently, not an omen but my choice, I hope. SuperJunior 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ sam.fitzpatrick Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I am struggling with the question and planning retirement. If I knew my life would end at 65, I would walk into the office tomorrow and retire. Financially, I have saved enough to make it there. However both of my grandmothers live to be 99. If I am going to live that long, I need to work another 15+ years. SuperJunior, + BlueSky and instudiocity 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
