[QUOTE="T.C, post: 816423, member: 1277"] me too, not famous for longievity in our clan that i've seen so far anyway :| back to the topic though, its not so much the age thing really. All depnds how well you are / if you're losing your faculties. I see countless elderly people through work and some of them have (what appears to be...) poor quailty of life, skeleton-thin, cant walk / eat properly, incontinent , riddled with dementia blah blah etc... seeing them like that breaks my heart, and I often wonder what they were like in their younger days etc... They could be some hot-shot lawyer / Doctor / sportsman blah blah in their day, or even just an 'ordinary' person, who knows, and its such a shame the ones who end up barely even recognising their own family or able to do anything for themselves. On that count, I would say I would not like to live so long that I end up like that. But on the other side of the coin, some of the oldies I know are the sprightliest things you've seen, still living life to the full , full of energy...more than me in fact, lol . :thumbsup: Another awful thing is the longer you live, the more you will be likely to see the ones you love dying around you as you outlive them. (Yes, That bit in 'Green Mile' always busts me up..) ;) Now [I]that[/I] bit I couldn't bear now, never mind in my twilight years when its 'expected' :'( I'm not so much scared of dying, more of what i'll die [I]of[/I], I suppose... :| Nobody, NOBODY is guaranteed their '3 score years and 10' allocation. Nobody knows whats round the corner. Thats what sucks. Anyway, i'm already a crotchety old bag ;) :P [/QUOTE]
