Life is worth living as long as it’s interesting. I have had a magnificent, adventurous, and exciting life but now it’s just boring. There are no more surprises and people just keep repeating the same old BS cliches year after year rather than discuss subjects in context.

“If everyone had a gun there would be no more shootings.”
“If it was not for the US all of Europe would be speaking German or Russian.”

Ho-hum, ho-hum, ho-hum. :sleep:

Humanity is dying alongside Alexander Dubček, Mikael Gorbatjov, and Julian Assange.

Can someone put out the light, please?

According to the ouija board my best friend and I consulted about the age of our deaths back in 1966, I will die next year. I'm very afraid and not ready at all for this so it will be difficult if it does happen. Unless God pulls me out of the mess somehow. I hope so. 🤗

According to a school vote I would have been dead before 1984... I strive to continue to make them wrong.
Remember... its how much life you live... not the time you survive.

Movies tend to exaggerate, tho i had to talk my then boyfriend's roommate down from a 3 night anxiety attack after the 3 of us saw the Exorcist. A Catholic, he took it very seriously.

But what happened to my sister and in a house i moved into after someone fooled around with one of those boards in it were a bit more real.

I am a non-practicing Catholic and have always wondered about the reality of demon possession...so I avoided watching the Exorcist for years and when I finally did I found it interesting and not as frightening as some of Steven King's movies..the Fog was pretty scarry to me...:oops:
 
I've given myself 23 years. I've planned financially for it. Why 23 years? 97 is the age my mother (not birth mother) died at and the age I'll be if I live 23 more years.

Hey Aneeda...with the way things are going in this world, I don't think I'd want to live much longer than that. 🥺

I don’t want to live that long. My mother will be 97 in February and she wants to live to be a hundred. 🤦🏻‍♀️ But all she does is complain, complain, complain, and think only of herself. But, she has never been a nice person

I'm still not decided on the reality of 'demon possession', tho i've had experiences that suggest evil disembodied identities are real. But he hadn't slept well, despite leaving his lamp on, in 2 nights and the 3rd was fast approaching.

We sat on the sunny lanai of the guys' apt and it took a lot of methodical attempts to diffuse his fear. I can't even remember all the points i made and issues he raised with those points, but i'd just counter them best i could.

I think what finally made a difference was my repeating again and again "If you accept the reality of possession because the church does, tho they consider it rare and individual clergy may feel it is more often mental illness, then how can you not accept the protections and remedies offered by the church, by your faith? They are the two sides of a coin."

You say that although I'm reminded of an uncle, the last of mine left, who used to state he didn't want to live past the age of sixty, and he's now ninety six and counting, still got his marbles, and we're all delighted he's with us! :)

Could you put me on ignore-I’d really appreciate it if you would.

Everyone has different experiences. Suspect a poll about pleasant and unpleasant extremely senior people would reveal a wide variety between the "They're too mean to die" and the "Every extra day with them is a joy" types with all the gradations in between.

I wanted to be optimistic about it, I guess, so I said 10-15. I'm being really hopeful there, though. My doctor did not think that but some others with my condition have lived that much longer after diagnosis.

What really bugs me..irritates me..pisses me off is doctors giving a date for when someone will die. That happened to my aunt when she had pancreatic cancer. The doctor told her she had 3 months and sure enough, she died in 3 months. Now, I understand doctors need to give some timelines when asked but I hope and wish all would also give stats of people living beyond the 'expected' I believe the mental attitudes and expectations have a tremendous bearing on disease progression.
