Something to work towards. I don't know if my wife could put up with me for 80 years.

I dont think I'm even going to have to put up with myself for 80 years.
Congrats to them though, that's a hell of a feat

That's impressive. I wonder what their secret is. Larry’s post sent me looking yesterday, this is a few years back and they share advice... not sure if it is the same couple. www.littlethings.com/longest-married-couple-85-years/An old Arizona rancher had been married close to 60 years I asked him.... “Treat her like a thorobred, and you will never end up with an old nag” was his response. |

I simply don't want to live that long. I reckon that having excellent health, and a super marriage makes quite the difference... missing either of those components, I get it. Being that old, I wonder if he is on a pension... that and SS probably has people in the offices wondering if these old farts are going to outlive them. |

I have the same physical strength of a 95 year old man, and believe me, it's not fun at all, as life is a constant struggle just to get through the day with constant fatigue. I've had 32 falls in the last 5 years and somehow, avoiding breaking any bones. |

I'm still able to do what I have to and some things I want and I have to thank the Lord for that. My ailments (shall we call them) is not the reason I don't wish to live that long, and without going into details let's just say that's is too long.

Both my parents lived past their 90’s. But me at 90? I would rather take the earlier train.🚂🧙🏼♂️
