When I was younger, I wanted to live until I was 100.
Now, I don’t. 🙂
But that’s not what this post is about.
My 98 year old paternal uncle died yesterday. Bud lived a long life and a great life. He’d been ready to go for a while, so while his death is sad our sadness is softened…
My dad is a remarkably healthy 95 year old and works very hard at staying healthy. Bud lived 98 years and didn’t work very hard at staying healthy. Their sister, Lois, at 93, is most likely somewhere in between her brothers as far as focus on health is concerned.
Obviously, longevity lies in their genes.
And that got me wondering, what does it take to live to 100?
Google, of course, provided an answer!
Take the Living To 100 Life Expectancy test and find out your chances.
PS I took the test, and I’m supposed to live until I’m 92. 🙁
I’ve got to start eating more cheesecake!
I’m supposed to live to be 95. Guess that’s because I’m younger than you…..
Some of the questions were hard to answer… Was I supposed to use my pre-medication cholesterol numbers or my Lipitor-induced numbers? 🙂
I know! And my anemia from lipitor!
This makes me think of the I.T. Crowd episode with the death day clock. One of my favorite parts is when the part about eating the fruits and vegetables:

and of course the church scene:
Joanne – I didn’t know there were new seasons of the IT Crowd. Can’t wait!
🙂 I am so happy you introduced me to the I.T. Crowd and The Yard. I still watch watch the episode about the shoes and STRESS whenever I need a good laugh.
