Have you ever wondered how long you’ll live?
My mother was 10 days away from her 91rst birthday when she passed, my father didn’t see 69.
I’ve often said I wouldn’t want to know the breadth of my mortality, that particular clock ticks silently for us all…. but when a fellow blogger posted a link that promised to give me the exact day of my death?
I couldn’t resist.

Sweet!
I’ll beat my mother’s record…
And 11,153 days might just be long enough for me to clean out my husband’s cellar full of crap.
If you’re curious, give it a whirl and post your results.

Oh I am very much not curious!

I took it, but it does not take into account health…like my metastatic cancer. So I am not too confident in the results.

One never knows.

I’m gonna be 96 when I die of some respiratory illness. That clock is way more optimistic about my longevity than I am.

I just did my husband’s and he’s only gonna live to be about 88 (despite having a better diet and lower BMI) due to a “road incident.” LMAO.

The ages of my close relatives who have died are scary enough (Dad 62, his sister 57, Grandparents 79, 66, 59 and 43!, Mom’s sister 52, Mom’s brother 62… and all of these natural causes). I don’t need some internet algorithm telling me I’ll live to see 90 when I have odds like that stacked up against me…

Wow. The numbers do seem stacked against you…

The clock says I’m living until 102 when I’ll die of “cancers”. Guess I’d better start taking better care of myself since I’m going to be around for a bit 😉.

Well, what I’d really like to know about is quality of life. What’s the point of living long if your mind is gone and you can’t move anymore!

Maybe there’s a separate clock for that.

I prefer the lottery. One never knows if one will win but buying a scratch off is fun. Likewise with the ticking clock, although I do exercises all the time-predicting that if I am able to stand on one foot for 30-40 seconds, I am in good shape and will live longer. So, there is that. One doesn’t know with traffic, random events and etc

Apparently, I will be “taken from us” on Thurs., Feb. 6, 2048 – just a little more than two months before my 79th birthday. Also by the dreaded “cancers.” Guess I’d better make the most of my remaining 23 years.

I’ve recently cut back to one daily post.
So, only 11,153.
Totally doable.

April 25, 2041. I’ll be just shy of eighty. That sounds about right. The men in my family don’t live all that long.

My date stayed about the same, less than 9 years from now. But my cause changed, from cancer to suicide. Man if I was going to commit sjicide I would have done it years sgo.
But, looking at my male siblings, and other males in the extended family, I should have been dead 10 years sgo. In my mind I’m living on borrowed time.

Well, this is exciting! I will live to be 94 and 8 months old. But, I will die of Cardiovascular Disease.
Guess, I better go to the gym more often if I want to die a different way.
