This is kind of cool. I took the quiz and, according to my calculations, I'll be living until the age of 96.

Here's an excerpt taken from the following website:

http://www.demko.com/deathcalculator.htm

"Your chances of living 100 years are "90 to 1". The odds get better with each new scientific discovery. One million boomers are expected to reach 100 years of age. Will you achieve membership in this prestigous "one-in-a-million" club? Don't sit and wonder. Find out ... right now."

well, if it wasn't for that last question, I'd be imortal. That -2 for each occurance of depression, obesity, and diabetis, well, knocked 20 points right off.

So, put me down for 99. Which, given my family history, isn't that far fetched. My grandmother is 94, my grandfather died when he was 96, and several of his brothers and sisters lived longer than that.

mine was 72, but I think the numbers are skewed.

"04. Grandparent lived to 85-plus? Add 2 for each long-lived grandparent."

My grandmother hasn't reached 85 yet... she's not even 80 yet! I wonder if great-grandparents count? Both of my great-grandparents on my maternal grandmother's side lived to 85-plus. Hmmm....

Just the obesity and diabetes (both parents) took off 8 years.

And, I need another daughter!

Glad I'm not the only one! I was doing OK on the quiz, then I started counting the relatives on both hands. . . almost needed my feet too. Result? 65.5. That's four-and-a-half more years than my father had -- but it just seems too damn close!

...guess I'm doomed to 102....my grandpa actually was IN the hospital when he broke his leg jumping over the end of the bed chasing the nurse....really....

Oh! that is too funny! No philandering in my family, none to speak of anyway. But when my Grandma was about 82, my uncle couldn't find her anywhere, so he drove out to Aunt Lilly's place and there he found her all right. My Grandma and Aunt Lilly (she was about 90) were busily re-roofing Aunt Lilly's house, by themselves.

I'm supposedly gonna' live to the ripe ole' age of 96, except I don't want to live past 95.

Thats the age that my grandma lost her marbles- she couldn't tell the difference between a toothbrush and a tennis racket.

I figure I'll live as long as I believe I will. So I'm not going to look and get a number in my head that will jinx me! *laughs*

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
