75 now, and 14 more to go?!?!?!?!?. (Good grief, I hope not)
Being possibly dependent on others really does not appeal to me.  
-----for now I am a happy-camper, tho.

This thing gave me 19 more years. I can't think of any of my doctors who would agree, and I'm pretty damned sure I don't want to be present for what's
coming in 2032.

Thanks Bob, it is an "heroic" image of the wind in my face. I was immediately reminded of Richard Burton as McPhisto.

The quiz does not appear to deal with sufficient lifestyle issues to be that accurate. Consider financial status. Consider clinical depression, for
instance. People who are clinically depressed would likely say that they don't wish to live that long. Just sayin'.
And no, That's not me.

If the insurance industry is paying for this, I am guessing it is pretty accurate statistically-----they are very careful where they spend their
money. For insurance purposes, it actually is probably pretty accurate.
Just because somebody would say, "-----I don't wish to live that long-----" you believe is evidence that they are "clinically depressed"??? That
is speculation, or at least opinion------I don't believe it is backed up by strong consistant evidence, is it?. I made a similar remark above, but I
have never felt particularily "depressed". One would think you would recognize being "depressed"?!?!?!?!. I just would not want to live if I was a
burden to others, and did not feel useful-------know what I mean??? Now THAT would be depressing. What would be the point-----------------??

Mine says 99 years. I believe it because my lifestyle and genes have always supported excellent health. My mother lived to 90 and she was sedentary,
an incessant reader, a smoker and a trippy, tipsy, tippler. I am now 76. (Just had my Libra birthday Oct. 1).
However.... I was diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago with a form of Non-Hodgkins
Lymphoma. It is usually aggressive but I have never experienced any symptoms. I attribute that to my disciplined lifestyle. A CT Scan did reveal
cancerous tumors on all the Lymph nodes from the Thorax to the Groin, so I had 3 out of the 6 recommended treatments a year ago summer. The tumors
completely disappeared after the very first treatment and haven't returned.
In the mean time, I take it one day at a time. Still play jazz, travel, ski, run with my dog, Paco, in the mountains and the beaches, volunteer with
Hospice, do the New York Times Crosswords with a pen, work dialog into short fiction from characters I read in Off Topic, confuse and confound extreme
right wingers with facts and logic. So...I'm not going anywhere any time soon. I feel great!
There was a disclaimer at the end of the test that said the results may not be accurate if one has a chronic disease. But they could be, so I do buy
green bananas!
I will not declare that I will live 'till 99 because I don't want to put a limit on it.
