how long do you think you'll live?

[Maverick]

Given the rates of medical advances, how long do you expect to live? I think the current average life expectancy is around 72 in the US. I think I'll make it to 90.

And please no crap about how the world will end before you die of old age :disgust:

Some days I think sooner rather than later.

Parents - 79 to 81
Grandparents - 79 to 81
Genetics do tell.

Hope I make that as long as Im healthy.

I'm gonna say mid to late 60's

I've allready lived 8-9 years longer than I thought I would.

So the last 8-9 years have been gravy, as well as all the years to come..........

A couple hours, at least. After that, who knows?

yeah now that I think of it I may not make it that long. Probably because I hate going to the doctor. Here's why:

Patient: "My stomach's been hurting lately"
Doctor: "Hmm you may have an ulcer and I'll need to prescribe medication...lets do an X-ray"
Patient: "Okay whatever you say doc"
....
Doctor: "Okay the x-ray shows that you don't have an ulcer, its probably just bad gas. Don't eat so many burritos. That'll be $150 for the x-ray and $75 for the appointment"
Patient: "WHAT??!?!" :Q

This body I currently occupy will fail eventually, yet even that's not 100% certain.

I plan to live forever.

So far, so good.

P.S. Anyone out there a vampire? I'd be willing to suck blood to live forever (I already spend most of my waking hours in the dark anyway...)

Shiva-

Thats the truth.

Want to live longer? Avoid Doctors and especially hospitals.

Only go to a Doctors if you have bleeding or broken bones.

Of all my experiences with Doctors, only one did me any good and that was for my appendix.

[Maverick]

yeah healthcare in the US pisses me off. It almost makes me want to move to Canada....almost

I will be 120 years old when I am murdered by the jealous ex-boyfriend of my 22 year old bride.

I think I'll live to my mid 80s, possibly into my 90s. Low blood pressure runs in my family, never smoke and have swam since 4th grade so my heart and stuff is in good shape.
