WILL I LIVE TO BE 80?    Some times you just have to ask yourself .. Will I live to be 80? I recently chose a new primary care physician. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests .. he said I was doing "fairly well" for my age.   A little concerned about that comment - I couldn't resist asking him. Do you think I'll live to be 80?   He asked .. Do you smoke tobacco or drink alcoholic beverages? No .. I replied. I don't do drugs either.   Then he asked .. Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs? I said .. No - my other doctor said that all red meat is unhealthy.   Do you spend a lot of time in the sun - like playing golf , boating, fishing or relaxing on the beach? No - I don't .. I said.   He asked do you gamble - drive fast cars - or have a lot of sex? No  I said.  I don't do any of those things.   Then he looked at me and asked ... Then why do you give a **** then?

Bada bing! You know how they say that gals live longer than guys? Well, so what? Living with women makes our lives seem really, really, really, long! Oops, She Who Must Be Obeyed is roaming around, better get back to my chores.

I just don't understand why people want to be elderly.  Of course, my view is clouded by my mental condition.  Then again, I'm only 58 and I've been retired on disability since I was 42.  So, I haven't workded in a long time.  It's not been a barrels of laughs, but life after retirement usually isn't. My parents are both in their mid 80s and have long accepted their lot in life.  They live modestly and enjoy what they have.  They have often said that the key to happines at any age is to be satisfied with what you have and to thank God for blessing you with your life.

You know why men die earlier than women?  Cause the want to. And in a similar vein: My dad always said that while it may be up for debate as to whether vegetarians live longer than omnivores, that there could be no argument as to whether it would seem longer.
The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.

One of my dad's favorite jokes: Q:  You know why men get more ulcers than women? A:  Because women are carriers!

I think the key is to have more of the last item in the Doctor's question! Then you will both live longer AND probably want to live longer.
