    Your blessed if you live to be 100.
    You hope to live every minute to the maximum.
    But the clock that starts at death is eternal.
    So, by comparison you life is only a millisecond.
    Use your time wisely...



    My afternoon thought as I have my Guinness and prepair for a great weekend.

    comments?

    100? Sounds horrible. How many 100 yr olds do you know still running around? Rahter than beint bathed in fromaldehyde and needing assistance for everything, I'd rather go with the achilles deal. Go big and live it up.

    I for one wouldn't want to be 100. But i"m pretty sure I won't make it because nobody else wants me around that long either. :D

    ps - good call on the guinness, im cracking one open now too...

    I understand your feeling but if you do not want to live to be 100 then you have Less than a millisecond by comparison. use your time wisely, right?

    it's a good thought.

    I choose to live to be 100 and use my millisecond wisely.

    cheers

    L.A. news the other day: 100 year old man retires from work.

    Pretty unusual, I thought.

    My favorite uncle (the original Indiana Jones) is 93, and he is not too happy about it: Constant pain, barely gets around, goes to doctors 3-4 times a week. Keeps wishing he could die.

    Not too sure I'd want to live to be 100, but that opinion could change when I'm 99!

    100... not sure... you have to work you butt off to be able to live comfortably around that age.

    Read the article the other day... about how much $ you'll need for your retirement ....

    Already now 65-year-olds are expected to live till at least 85 and if you are married, one of the spouses will be able to easily last till 95 .... I guess, it means that people would have to work till their late 70s ... You'll have to plan having at least $50K a year to cover the care and needs when you are that far over the hill, not even adding the inevitable - inflation. No economy will be able to handle so many old people unable to financially support themselves... The way I see the future in 20-30 years: once you hit 80 and don't have a hefty bank account - out you go to some kind of "retiring" camps ...LOL

    Oh, that's not funny..:)

    100 doesn't seem too appealing. If I could still do the stuff that a 20 year old could at 100, that's fine. Some tortoise just died at 250 years old ( http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=1764165 ) and I think it would suck if I lived to 250 and everyone else died around 80 (assuming I'd be in terrible condition and couldn't wipe my own @ss).

    the point isn't living to 100 but useing your time wisely while you are alive.

    time is short.

    Mario,
    I didn't miss the point...

    In fact, such thoughts about the gloomy future help you enjoy and appreciate the life you are living now ... it is when you are in a good health and mind, when you live in a beautiful area, and able to love and be loved, you can speculate about the future ... and make plans to start taking care of it. After a weekend. Starting Monday ..LOL

    Usually, you are already talking about what we are drinking tonight ..:))

    Yes they are..........

    I'd give up if I was you. And I agree the time you are not "here" is a very long time.

    Oh, and Steph....... Spoken like someone in their 20's. You'll be very surprised how fast time flys.
