Quote from: 930310 on March 19, 2014, 07:38:12 AMTo hear that my oldest living relative(91 years old) was still sound and healthy!

Quote from: Jill F on March 18, 2014, 11:37:01 PMLet me guess, you're watching South Park? Don't worry, they'll kill him again.

Quote from: 930310 on March 19, 2014, 08:54:05 AMIn the closest five generations there have been eight people that made it to 90+. But not a single that made 97+. So I guess that the chances for me becoming a supercentenarian are pretty low...

Quote from: Shantel on March 19, 2014, 09:01:44 AMYou never know! My mom was the youngest to pass away in my family, she was 89. Her sis died recently at 102 and their dad was 100. My dad and his brother were both in their 90's, people say gee you come from a good gene pool, but the reality is that I could be flattened by a Mack truck on my way to the mailbox or struck down with some disease triggered by an environmental pollutant, so I don't allow myself to get too excited about it.
Quote from: 930310 on March 19, 2014, 09:31:52 AMThat's just what I think about too. One of the most common death causes for people above 105 or so is falling. It's a bit paradoxical because healthy people will live longer and will be able to walk and stand longer too. But you mustn't be too healthy either because that will be your own undoing...How old are you Shantel? 70?
Quote from: Shantel on March 19, 2014, 09:40:16 AMBe 71 in August, but mentally and emotionally I'm still just a kid and work at keeping myself in decent physical shape as long as possible.
Quote from: 930310 on March 19, 2014, 11:02:39 AMThen there's pretty much exactly 50 years in age difference since you were born in 1943 and I in 1993. For me fifty years still sounds like an eternity...
Quote from: Jill F on March 19, 2014, 02:35:12 PMYup, and inside every older person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.
Quote from: Sydney_NYC on March 19, 2014, 10:21:08 PMI've started going full-time (without realizing it) since Friday. Even today with not shaving for 2 days ( since i have electrolysis tomorrow morning in the early am) I was at the auto parts store getting a headlamp bulb and was still getting ma'amed. It probably helps that the remaining hairs are white (thanks to laser) and even though I can feel them, you can only see them when the light hits them in a certain way.
