How come I am still here?
Seems like I am in the “At Risk” range - 60 to 70
Maybe you are AI mnnn ![]()
Imma here afore Ai become a thing…
Bret, just think about this!
It wouldn’t be an average if some folks didn’t go earlier would it? ![]()
Most of them live next to Israel.
The great un-achievement of the last couple of decades in so many western countries is that average life expectancy is going down. This is corelated by the poor getting poorer as the rich get richer.
Just realised that almost half of us will die before the average life expectancy.
This is one instance where being Average could be deemed quite successful ![]()
At 75 I’m living in borrowed time Bret…
My Father in Law told me this true story…
His friend was over 80 years old and had heart trouble. His doctor had put him on 16 tablets to be taken each day.
He was chatting to my FiL in the pub and said that the side effects were horrible and he was going to stop taking all of the tablets…
Six months later, my FiL was stood at the bar when the old bloke approached him…
“Did you stop taking all of your tablets?” asked my FiL
“Yes I did” he replied…
“And are you feeling alright?”
“I’ve never felt better but the Doctor died last week” He said…

I am the very opposite OGF. I keep on taking all the tablets I am prescribed and I have reached the age of 88.
Take no notice of this scary stuff…
I read the average life expectancy for women in the UK in now 83 years … given my old lifestyle and recent medical history I should be 20 years short of that … and die when I reach 63.
I had my 64 th birthday this year.
Time to celebrate!
But not too energetically … just in case …obviously.
I like how you slipped that little gem in.
