“Life is the leading cause of death”.
Conversation with my doctor about three decades ago: “Doc, I’m not worried about what will eventually kill me, I already know.”
‘You do? Okay, go on…’
“I was born.”
[ pause of several seconds as he thought that over ]
‘You have a very odd way of looking at things,’ he said chuckling a bit.
“True, but I can either spend a bunch of time worrying about what might or might not kill me, or I can just do my best to stay as healthy as I can, stay positive, and focus on actually living my life. I think the latter is the healthier mental attitude.”
He nodded, and then said, ‘Okay, so on that idea of staying as healthy as you can…’
(And it of course veered off into his specialty at that point.)

“When I wake up in the morning, if I don’t smell flowers and see candles, I get up”.—Geroge Burns.
I plan to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming like the passengers in his car.
The sound effects when getting up. Dropping a copper coin and thinking that isn’t worth bending down for anymore. Looking forward to becoming even blinder so as not to be ashamed for leering at attractive young females and committing adultery thereby. Taking advantage of hearing loss in various ways. Getting away with formerly questionable clothing fashion decisions.etc…
Linda- Thanks!
Boats- LOL, classic line!
Ag- Good one, and true!
RHT- LOL
Stefan- Sigh… yeah…
Old is when your mind and your body don’t agree with your plans.
