Do you know what your life expectancy is? I just completed an online quiz

https://www.livingto100.com/lifecalc.html?accept.php

and supposedly will live to be 102 years of age.

Yikes! Laughing

Pianist and composer Eubie Blake once said: ``If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.''

Laughing

It's never too late to start taking care of both mind and body.

Whoa. I got 75. Not pleased, yet not too surprised with that.

There's not a lot I can change there, except I was surprised to see how stressful my life actually is.

Thanks, Miller. Interesting test.

87. Not so bad, considering.

It says I'll kick off at 76...much better than I had expected...I'll be older than either parent was!

85, but that survey is full of holes.
Even I could write a more clarifying one.

For example, they asked if anyone in your family had cancer, but not if you did.

Written, perhaps, by a 28 year old person trying to find some neat questions.

My grandma will be 102 in January. Of course, she did everything right. She smoked 2 packs a day (she's cut down to 5 cigs a day as the nursing home won't let her have more) , ate fatty processed foods, rarely exercised and drank got drunk at least once a month.

I agree the survey settles nothing. But, it was fun.

Agreed, osso. One question in particular made me go 'whoa'. How many family members have died due to cancer who were non-smokers?
None.

But more than I want to count who died of cancer who did smoke. The whole bloody lot are smokers!

I should start digging now, shouldn't I? Laughing

I agree osso...I got 85 also, but I fully intend to live to be 100.

Yeah, there were holes and some of the provided answers did not fit my life.
