    Everybody in my family lived old, and I look 10 years younger than my age, so I think that I will live to be 90, unless God decides to kill me at Armageddon.

    Both my parents died fairly young of diseases that are hereditary. I don't want to grow old so I hope that I will die sometime in my early 60's...I shutter at the thought of being a burden on anyone.

    I do hope I have the heart attack like my dad instead of the colon cancer like my mom...just seems quicker and easier to just die in your sleep like he did, instead of suffering and having your loved ones watch you slowly die right before their eyes.

    Sorry to be so morbid, but you did ask...

    If i live to be 65...i will feel i lived a good life.

    I have no desire to live the last of my days in a nuring home

    or as someone else mentioned " a burden to others"

    once i live past the point where i can no longer take care of

    myself, I hope they pull the plug

    Who knows what tomorrow brings. You could be hit by a drunk driver. A plane could crash into your office. A hidden aneurysm could burst and that's all she wrote.

    Today is all you get, tomorrow is a mystery.

    I'm already a ripe old age.

    I live out of the way of terrorists and nuclear targets.

    I think I'll just die stupid.

    Heavens no! I was promised 85 years ago that I'd never be old in this System of Things, so why would I think otherwise?? Excuse me now while I take my liver pills and go downstairs to the Dining Hall - it's supper time!

    Ring,

    Why don't you wait until you reach the ripe old age of 65 and see how you feel about sticking around a little longer ??

    I have been waiting for my next birthday for along time. Dec. 20 , I will hit the 36 mark. It is so important to me , because my Mama didnt live past 35 yrs and 7 months. So already I am older than she was when she died. After I hit 36, I hope I can breathe a sign of relief , wow I made it, and then get hit by a train............,,, forgive my morbid sense of humor.But if I go young, I hope that I will have my affairs in order, I hope I have let all I love know that I love them, and that at least I am free whatever happens. I did learn a valuable lesson from my mom, she told me things about herself that she knew I wouldnt understand at the time, but they have popped back in my head when I needed her words the most. I take lots of pictures, write lots of letters and tell my hub and kids everyday I love them. You just don't know what could happen in just a moment.

    I hope to live to be 100 and then go straight to heaven,,,,,,,,, with no wrinkles and can wait my children , grandchildren and great grands, while I wait to join up with them again.

    If there is a resurrection and I sleep until the Lord awakens me,,,,,,,,,,, I will enjoy my good long nap,,,, in fact on my tombstone, I will hang a "Do Not Distrurb", ( unless you are Jesus) sign.

    I am not so afraid anymore if God will remember me,,,,,, I will just have to wait and see.
