I’m going to yell this out randomly at the cubicle farm throughout the day. No one will care. No one pays attention.

Btrax and Fenox sound like constipation drugs they run commercials for on grandad’s nightly news. “Side effects reported include itchy watery eyes, droopy balls and terminal bro-ness.”

Yes and I hope you stay healthy to 100 and witness all that, including watching the live 3-D poscards your great grandchildren send you from their spring break trip to Jupiter;)

No worries. Sorry that I was pissy. I’m not far behind you so my comment wasn’t whippersnappery, I have really thought about it.

Yes, you were criticizing.  It’s site for discourse yes but also a site where I don’t have to credit a flippanr remark assuming I am young and therefore not “wise” enough to make an informed decision about what I am willing to put up with in old age. P.S. You’re going to die too.

Nope I’m older and have worked in a geriatric related health field for years. I hope you get your wish but make sure and let your family know how much propping up you want at the end. I love older folks but people are ill-equipped and too much in denial to deal with it, both the older folks and their families. A 90…

So you want to be Cher? :)

Great for your mom but people in my family generally don’t make it past 70 very healthy in body and mind no matter how healthy their lifestyle. My mom like her mom and grandma, had a horrible stroke in her 60s leaving her severely disabled. She was super healthy, ate well, no meds, regular checkups and weighed the…

I’m not young or stupid so maybe read the whole thread before chiming in. Thanks.

No it won’t. Maybe read the rest of the thread before you tell me how sure you are that my life choices will change.

Oh sweetie. read the rest of the thread before you start talking to me like I’m a moron. Thanks (btw, I’m way older than you think).

Inanimate object? Hmmm. Yep. Still better.

It’s giganto. Could hold a tennis racket. Might be Fred’s.

Sure, I get that and I am so sorry about your illness, that sucks. My family has an inherited disease that can emerge at any time (my dad suffered for 30 painful years, my sister has it currently). My mother’s side has early onset alzheimers and strokes. No one lives much past 70 and if they do, they are out of it or…

Ha. True. I have to say I’m not afraid of death, not because of our lord and savior baby jesus (I’m a doubter). I’ve had a nice enough life.

Ashley will still never love you.

“Functioning” is key. Family history, lifestyle, and steadily drinking the blood of babies (heh) has a lot to do with how long we live happily. Could be 102, could be 73.

My family is rife with early onset alzheimers with an added delightful sprinkling of strokes. 73 and functional would be fantastic but 65 with a dazzling array of med alert jewelry is more likely.

I do not want to live to 102. Not even in Paris with a shitload of money and glamourous affairs to look back on. Nope. I’m thinking a nice functional 73 is a good age to take a dirt nap. Nerp on that 102 shit, might as well be a ghost.

I’d rather have Katy Perry as head of energy department. Or Steve Perry. Or Richard the refrigerator Perry or even Fred Perry and I think he’s dead. Dig him up.
