as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

That was written a long time ago, and things change. You don't think God's plans might be different now than they were then?

Here’s something to ponder.

According to the “Real” scientist, one reason for global warming over the last century is because the sun has been more active, which in turn has reduced the amount of cosmic rays hitting the earth leading to less cloud cover.

OK, but let’s not forget, these cosmic rays over a life time do have a negative effect on humans.

Now I won’t deny modern medicine has had a tremendous effect on lifespan. But I’m wondering, since the sun has shown signs of less activity this cycle, if we do go into the Hansen-Gore minimum like some predict and we get exposed to more cosmic rays could life spans actually start to decrease?

Yeah, but Alzheimer’s Disease comes out of nowhere.

What about Dementia and Parkinson’s?

Most “doctors” are absolutely clueless about these types of things, are they not?

My memory is not as good as it used to be.
I remember chasing girls when I was young,
but I just can’t remember why.

The heart research lab at the University of Minnesota took just a few days to grow a living, beating rat heart from stem cells.

Looks like the Dems are already at an advantage.

I’m probably in one of those “life extension programs” you talk of....by necessity.....long story....but bio identical, compounded hormones have basically saved my life.

Geez. I hope Helen Thomas doesn't get wind of this. She looks 150 right now. Can you imagine what she will look like if she stays around that long?

Won't happen though (even though it looks as though it already has--lol). Looks like girlfriend likes her food.

I’ve got enough to do to last me until I’m 150.

I’ve always said I plan to die young...at a VERY advanced age.

Gosh, I DID have a grandchild at your age. I don't think my thermostat is set on high, though. I don't look my age and my grandchildren have been mistaken for my children.

That being said, you'll have tons more wisdom and patience than folks who have children early. Take your vitamins and enjoy those babies!

A lot of those lettuce eaters die earlier than others.

I am 59 and I have had good life. I hope to have a good death. It’s that day after, that still has me a bit concerned.

I have had to be carried by a couple of miracles to make it this far, and I can feel it all winding down.

I’ll be around for a bit more, but I am also ok with the next step. I sure wouldn’t want to live to be 150....heck, I would have to go back to work. ;>)

Not sure I'd want to. Being born with multiple orthopedic problems I'm looking forward to a new body.

I believe it was C.S. Lewis who said something to the effect that you don't have a soul, you are a soul. You are not a body, you have a body.

I don’t know, I have a sister and BIL who eat like sparrows at Canyon Ranch: though they’re in their mid-50’s they look a good 20 years younger. But I have 2 other sisters who were married with kids in their early 20’s and were grandmothers by 50. Could their prospects be that different in one family?

(I’m active and healthy, but have probably already eaten enough for someone a good decade older than my age!)
