How old do you want to live to be?

Old enough to marry my dream man and celebrate at least our 10th anniversary

My great Grandma lived to be 104 and retained most of her marbles through 102, then they scattered quickly.  Were I able to do the centenarian decathlon, I'd be happy to live that long.

(I hate that Dr. Peter Attia starts out this video rubbing his eye.  Don't rub your fucking eye.  A doctor friend of mine was rubbing his eye the other day after touching several things, including my hand.  I said, don't rub your fucking eye, you know better.  Of course, everyone* rubs their eyes but everyone should also work harder to not do so *I've never seen my partner rub his eyes without first washing his hands, not once in 28 years.  He's infuriating).

I used to want to live a very long life - now I'm not so sure; same-age friends likely gone, siblings likely gone, living in assisted living...

A neighbor who had lost her only child said "Eighty is enough" and though she did get treatment for her conditions, she ended up dying a couple of months after her 80th. She had pancreatic cancer which they actually more or less successfully treated,  but she became so fanatical about controlling her blood sugar that when she got an infection several years later, she basically had "nothing in the tank" to fight it(she had gotten quote thin). But she was lucid until the end and was driving etc. She just didn't linger when it got really bad.
