Poll question: What's the oldest age you'd want to live to be?
I think 80 is about where I'd call it quits. In my experience, that's about the age things really start going down hill.

1. Depends on a number of things
Such as health, mobility, and surviving friends and family.

2. I'd like to be around to see the whole shithouse go up in flames,
so I optimistically chose 95+. :shrug:

3. Assuming I stay healthy and the earth (or next gen) remains intact, millions of years is okay

4. Uhm, I didn't want to make it to 30.
I can't trust myself now. :crazy: I'm 37 now and it'll probably take 20 something more years to get everything done that I want to do, so I guess I'd say 60 would be ok. I don't want to be here longer than I need to be to get the things done that I want done. It would be pointless after that.

6. I don't know. I just know I haven't reached it yet and so far
it seems to be some time off in the future. If that item about scientists have found a protein cure for Alzheimer's I would choose to live as long as I got in this go round.

7. Depends on how I am feeling at what age.
We have a postmaster in town who is in his late 80's. It is a one man office and he seems happy, healthy & still having fun.

10. I don't know about you, but I'm planning on living forever.
Anybody know any vampires that may owe somebody a favor? :)
