will I live to be 80

bullshot

I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and
exhaustive Lab tests,

she said I was doing fairly well for my age. (I am well past Seventy).

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking her,
'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'

She asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?'

'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'

Then she asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?'

'I said, 'Not much... My former doctor said that all red meat is very
unhealthy!'

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating,
sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'

'No, I don't,' I said.

She asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'

'No,' I said...

She looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even care?'

Don't ever ask that question, even if it's a joke.[:D]

Agree.

YUP! Life is all about adventure and the rush one gets from living on the edge.

It is certainly not about how old you are or how long you make the run.

Everyone has an expiration date and that date is preordained IMHO.
