Apparently, everyone will just have to put up with me until I'm 92. ;-)

1. 83

Unless I get hit by a drunk driver, which is very probable in New Mexico, unfortunately...it's a serious problem

[SW FL Dem]

31. No kidding

I lived in Gallup for a while. Friday nights are deadly.

[Deja Q]

2. According to the test, followed by my own educated guess:

(Works in Mozilla, but not Konqueror... :cry: )

First the questions:

1. I am male.
2. I am 31-40.
3. I am overwight 10-30 pounds.
4. I don't smoke.
5. I do manual labor (but I also work at a desk. 50/50.)
6. I have a grandparent who lived over 85, I have a family member with a heart condition and diabetes.
7. College Degree (technical college, useless by now too.)
8. Angry. (Could be unhappy or intense or happy depending on situation. Generally angry though, with unhappy being a VERY CLOSE #2.)
9. Strenuous exercise? I don't.
10. Home life: Living alone for 11-20 years. (I've always been alone, but I technically moved out about 11 years ago, give or take a year.) No live-in SO. I'm not sure I have a SO, he's too recent and my hand injury was bad timing...

According to this hoax, I will live to be 74.

According to me, I don't think I'll live past 40. I've got about one year, maybe two at best.

[prolesunited]

4. What happened to your hand?

Why are you so convinced that you'll die by 40?

[Deja Q]

9. Infection. Pus-bomb blew up and I nearly got sent to the hospital.

Slowly recovering but I've gotten enough antibiotic shots and pills to swallow...

This proves I'm not suicidal. I was very close to getting blood poisoning (red streaks down hand into arm, painful joints, puffiness, the lot). Had I cared less, I would have done nothing.

[brook]

7. Don't feel bad....

According to that I've been dead at least six months!

[tigereye]

10. lets hope you will live longer than that HT

the world is interesting with you in it, at least from the internet perspective, since I don't know you personally. :)

I got 91. Very long-lived gps, grad school., quit smoking and am generally pretty mellow. I also live with spouse and kid.

[NoPasaran]

3. Good news!

I don't really have to worry too much about Social Security.

[prolesunited]

5. Was I supposed to laugh at that?

Because I did. What factors seem to be doing you in?

[NoPasaran]

12. Sure!

I was actually relieved.

I guess I lost points for living alone and saying I was unhappy. C'est la vie!

[Donkeyboy75]

6. 83 is a sham. It didn't ask a single question

about my drinking habits. I'm healthy otherwise, though.

[pmbryant]

8. 83 seems to be a common answer

I got that too.

:shrug:

I'm not taking anything for granted, though.

[terrya]

11. 79. I've only got 31 years left, apparently.

Oh, dear.

[prolesunited]

13. WOW!!!

Only 31? What are you going to do with what little time you have left?

[terrya]

15. I don't know. But something tellls me I'll still be here a lot. :-)

[doc03]

14. This is BS

They don't ask anything about your current health you could be in good health or have AIDS or terminal cancer for all they know. Anyhow
I am 56 exercize 3 to 4 days a week with weight training and 30-45 minutes of Cardio and have no health problems, don't smoke, drink, eat very little beef. They give me to 72 years.

[trof]

17. "Strenous excerise"

I walk 3 miles, almost every morning.
That's not "strenous" exercise, but it's reputed to very good for you.

[trof]

16. I'm dead in 8 years.

But I agree, it's BS.

[doc03]

18. Hell I may as well put the 30 lbs. back on, start smoking again,

turn into a lush. What would I get 12 more years instead of 15, at least I will have fun!

[GOPisEvil]

19. 70.

Crap...I'll be 36 this year. That means I'm on the downhill side of life. :-(

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. 89

[VOX]

21. According to this test, I'm on board until 92...

And I aim to make every day of it count, by crackey!

:toast:

[Squeegee]

22. It says I should already be dead, and I'm only 38!

Just kidding. It told me I'd live to 82. ;)

[Amaya]

23. 88

that's old enough for me

[Nay]

24. Holy shit. 96. Better start saving some more money...

[SarahB]

25. 93- Do I win?

Super healthy, good genes, and dull as hell with get you 93 years apparently. Whoo-hooo! :party:

[richmwill]

26. 52

I won't live as long as most of you people, I guess :) That's fine though- we all know dying young certifies you as a Legend, right?

[camero]

27. 68-this one seems kinda high

the rest say I should be dead already.

[smirkymonkey]

28. 89

I think they left a lot of questions out that would have been relevant. i.e. you can not be overweight, but have high cholesterol, anorexia, drive like a maniac, be a drug addict, etc.

I have good genes and a very healthy lifestyle, but I just don't know if my money will last as long as I do. That's my greatest concern.

[Nikia]

29. 92

That sounds about right, I hope. I know that I have to calm down though and be more careful about what I eat as I get older. I have long lived ancestors though so that should help. I lied about all my grandparents living over 80 because my younger set isn't 80 yet but both of their mothers lived to be over 80 so I figure that should count.

[SW FL Dem]

30. 98! nt

[flamingyouth]

32. Good grief, I'll be 97

As long as I'm one of those feisty old ladies who credits her longevity to good wine and rich food, then I'll be happy.

Here's a :toast: to Julia Child!:D

[alarimer]

33. it quit working

When I hit next question after the education question, nothing showed up. SHould I be worried? I guess it means I am no longer alive or I will live forever. LOL

[Kathleen04]

34. 86

18 down, 68 to go. :)

[Shananigans]

35. 7

Just kidding...I haven't taken the test yet. I will report back with my real answer shortly.

[Shananigans]

36. Ok...so my real answer really *IS* 7...

79, that is! So maybe there's hope for me afterall!
