How old do you think you’ll live to?

[dennishoddy]

I wake up every morning but don’t open my eyes.
Slowly extending my arms away from my sides and then raising them forward.
If I don’t feel anything thing, I know I’m not in a body bag or casket and it’s safe to open the eyes to go about the day.
I’ve outlived both my parents as they chain smoked to the end, dying in their early 70’s, but grandparents made it into the 90’s.
My goal in life is to die at 90, shot to death while crawling out the bedroom window of a much younger woman by her jealous husband.
Go out a legend!

I was never scared of dying until my kids were born. Their need for me makes me want to live forever even though that sounds miserable. Men on my dad’s side don’t make it to sixty. I’m hoping to extend that. I want to hold a grandchild.

Hell, at 56, in lieu of my chosen career and subsequent lifestyle choices, I'm surprised that I'm still here!

I always quote my favorite New York Yankee and fellow Okie...

This. According to my lifeline on my palm, I should have been dead around 35. I'm pushing 70 and should have taken better care of myself.

Should we prop you up beside the jukebox?


I’d like to have 69….i mean make 69…years old.

45 and the arthritis is pushing on me hard and already had a stroke. I’m not sure how long I want to go, but it really isn’t up to me.

Nah, put me in my boat, pull the plug and put the motor in gear.

69 would mean I have 14 months. I keep fighting these Fauci Flu scarred lungs and I will to the end.

…and should have taken better care of myself.

I remember being a dumbass kid hearing old farts say that. Obviously I didn’t heed the advice.

Yup. I never thought I would have seen 30, the way I was runnin' and gunnin' dealing with gang bangers back in the 90s. We gave em hell.

Like Gus McCrae said, " it's not about dying, it's about living." In his early 60s my dad told me that the men in his family didn't live past 70 and that he never wanted to not be able to take care of himself. At 70 he died in a horse training accident. As painful as his lose was, I know that's how he wanted to go. Mom's side of the family live into 80s even with cancer. My mom lived to 90. I really have no idea what to expect, but my brother passed a few years ago at the age I am now.

Like Gus and my dad, I prefer quality over quantity.

I didn't think I'd live this long.

I've almost died 3 times in the last 6 years and once when I was 5, so if I was a cat I have 5 more lives left lol

Looks like we’re living longer and longer.

Yeah I don’t care about the Covid remark.

I'm already 39 years older than I expected to live. Might not finish this post, might live another 30 or 40 years. I'll live as long as I live and not a second longer.
