We might as well eat, drink & be merry, not got long left ! I've just done it. I should have died 10 years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well lets see how you feel in February 2061 when you are near the end, when maybe you fancy seeing another summer, maybe another Christmas? That quality not quantity may not apply then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_DADDY Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Since turning 50 I've thought about death quite a lot. Not because I want to die or think ill die soon. Its more a case of when I die then who will take care of this kids? They'll live with me for a long time yet in fact I think it's unlikely they'll ever be able to live independently so when I'm gone who will take care of them? Keeps me up at night sometimes if I'm honest. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a calculator here for those who want an idea of life expectancy. https://www.blueprintincome.com/tools/life-expectancy-calculator-how-long-will-i-live/ I got age 85. Honestly can't see it. Hope not! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope not! 😂 If you are fairly fit and a lot of 85 year olds are, and you’ve still got all of your marbles, or just the odd one are two missing, why not.

I'm not 85, (Much younger) - I got the figure 85 age of death as predicted in the survey, and I still have most of my marbles. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echo beach Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Well I did the test and it says that I have a 50% chance of reaching 94. The other 50% must be falling from a ladder or stepping under a bus. Anyhow, if I survive, by the time I’m that age I’m convinced that I’ll be doolally and not know what time of day it is!😆 echo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavery549@yahoo Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Well , I for one , am not bothered about death , nowt we can do about it . Am a great believer ,when your times up , it's up . But , I do believe that if a person with an incurable disease should have the right to end their life . For example MND , & Dementia , If I got any of those , I would be off before I wasn't able to make that decision . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
