I just dont want to be one of them.
I don't either, that would just mean a longer wait for my real home in heaven...I can't imagine how much farther this world can descend into insanity in another 50 years but I don't want to find out. I don't want to die anytime soon, but 80 years is long enough.
You and your family are anomalies. These are averages we are talking about here.
Unless they have annuities instead of life insurance policies.
I lived with my great grand aunt, my grandmother and grand father, and a cast from the 1880s and 1890s.
I love the fact that the people I loved we affected and touch by people in the early 19th century and my influence carries that effect through to the 21rst century through my kids.
Yep.

The question isn’t, “How long will you live?” the question is, “Given the nature of life on Earth at this particular time, how long do you want to live?”
And... keep in mind that all those ‘extra years’ are spent NOT as an eighteen-year-old; they’re spent as a seventy- or eighty-year-old.
That’s very true. I just hope to live as long as Mrs. Smittie is around, then I’ll be ready to go home...
