Life expectancy...

So.....

I was listening to NPR,

and they were talking about 

life expectancy.

They suggested that everyone should google

for a life expectancy calculator,

and then 

take the online survey to 

receive an estimate 

of how long they should live,

based

on 

their lifestyle,

family history,

general health,

you get the picture.

Well

this is what popped up;

"Your calculated life expectancy is 102 years"

now,

what am I going to do 

when all my friends 

and family 

are gone?

Who will I hang with?

Who will find my teeth for me?

What if none of our children choose to have children of their own?

Do I really believe that Social Security will last that long?

but wait...

that means that I truly am

middle-aged.

I am 53 years old this week,

so 53 really is the new 43.....

Does this mean that I can now

have my mid-life crisis?

I already drive a fast little red car...

a Honda Fit.

and I don't act like my mother did 

when she was 53....

of course, I hardly remember since I was 

29, and only thought 

I mattered.......

So.....

here is the question...

Have you taken one of these 

questionnaires?

What did you come up with?

Do you believe the results?

Let me know what your results are...

here is the 

calculator I used

HERE

Please let me know,

even if you answer anonymously....

I want to know,

an "enquiring mind" don't cha' know....
