Have you wished to live for 1000 years so you could learn how things turn out?

That's, nice, but BBB is eighty plus. Please gain some circumspection.

Have you seen any dead person do anything? Let me know when you die what you did.

No. I could see almost nothing of what they did then they were alive anyway, so it hardly matters.

First, the 7o is what I am aiming for. Me, myself, it isn't a random number which I am placing out there for others and obviously (to most) not what I am directing at people past the age of 70, AGAIN, I'm aiming for 70, for me that will be a decent span. It doesn't say that I wouldn't appreciate living past 70, it's a goal which when I view my health issues and the fact that neither parent lived to 70 is an age which I'd be thrilled to get to, if you or anyone else wants more, fine.

Second, I explained the 1000 year deal and why a mere 1000 wouldn't be enough. Consider that BBB wanted the 1000 due to curiosity and stated sadness that about (given the current life span of under 1000 years) being not around to learn how all is going to turn out. At the 1000 mark there'd be new things on the horizon and there'd be an equal curiosity as to what would happen in the next 1000 years.

I probably indulge this desire by reading history. Sometimes if I'm reading a really good novel I think: I hope I don't drop dead before I finish because I want to know the ending. Otherwise the future is too vague and mysterious for me to even contemplate. I do not want to outlive my own independence, but that is not always much of a choice.

Before you know it you will be 90.
