Der Nister Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Will I Live To Be 80? I recently turned 65 and had to choose a new primary care physician for my Medicare program. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing "fairly well" for my age. A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, "Do you think I will live to be 80?" He asked: Do you smoke tobacco or drink alcoholic beverages?" "Oh no," I replied. "I don't do drugs, either." "Do you have many friends and entertain frequently?" "I said, "No, I usually stay home and keep to myself". "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?" I said, "No, my other doctor said that all red meat is unhealthy!" "Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?" "No, I don't," I said. "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?" "No," I said. "I don't do any of those things." He looked at me and said, "Then why do you give a shit?"
jadnifer Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 That is TOO funny. It took me a minute to realize that it was a joke. I thought that you were talking about yourself. OOPS!! I feel like a total idiot.
Destroit Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 My God Raven needs to see that I'm of the "live a little" camp, I mean don't do all that crap in excess (especially because then you begin to lose appreciation for it) but here and there, freakin' live a little, ya know?
SuZQZ Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Me likes. Perfect example of something I stated in another thread about existing, but do you truly live.
hunhee Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Which is why I hope I don't make it to 60 I doubt I'll make it to 25. Woah! I've said both of these things .. many times, 'cept, I lived past the quarter-life crisis thing. Next stop! Forty!
predaking Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I hope I make it past 100, the whole dieing thing freaks me out a tad bit
hunhee Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I hope I make it past 100, the whole dieing thing freaks me out a tad bit Is it the dying that freaks you out, or the unknown?
predaking Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 The dieing, i'd rather be alive to face the unknown
