Did anyone hear that not being married cuts off 9 years of your life? (page 2)

Does that mean if a man has more than one wife the benefits are multiplied (for the men, at least)?

Bubblie, how about getting a dog? Pet owners experience definite and documented improvemen in health including lower blood pressure, better activity and fitness, less depression, and greater social engagement.

i heard that last year in the uk just under 1000 people died while driving..

and that over 500 died from drinking...

and that only 50 or so died from drink/driving

which would seem to make drink/driving the safest choice..

apparently the number of people who died while driving drunk and juggling was 2...so not exactly fool proof but worth thinking about.

damn statistics eh

I have heard that too.

Married people look out for each other, nag each other if they didn't do anything about a symptom. I guess marriage is a survival tool. That said a bad marriage can give you stress, which in turn can shorten your life. So i guess it's a happy marriage that can prolong your life.

The regular sex helps as well i suppose

I did get the dog in the divorce. Yes, he is a lovely little guy who is always happy to see me. Hope he lives a long time. Thanks for the suggestion.

Oh well, he is left handed and they live less time than right handers

Ok, that sucks, I'm a south paw. But I'll live longer outta spite of that silly statistic, yeah that's it. Don't underestimate the mind in how long we live. Mentally giving up will lead to physically giving up.

LOL. If that was true A@G King David and Solomon should still be around with as many wives as they each had.
