Will you live to or past 80?

Will I live to see 80?

(Here's something to think about.)

I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, she said I was doing fairly
well for my age. (I am well past sixty-five).

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking her, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'

She asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?'

'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'

Then she asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?'

'I said, 'Not much... My former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!'

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'

'No, I don't,' I said.

She asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'

'No,' I said...

She looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even give a shit?'

Agree the use of salt far exceeds what we need, The other day I stopped at McDonalds to have a cup of coffee after my Dr.s appointment i saw the attendant making fries then just poured on the salt. The mother picked up the fries gave it to her toddler in a stroller, I gasped then she will wonder why her baby is chunky and suffers from other ailments before she;s a teenager.....I use herbs and other things when I cook.
My mother died when she had just turned 64 14 years ago....
Just a note! McDonalds will hold the salt if you ask!
All anyone has to do to understand McDonalds menu is to read the slogan above the menu.

It reads.

Yep. I am ancient.

Celebrated (not really a celebration) in April.

Some here may not agree with me but I think I still have all or most of my marbles.

That was my main concern.

I am mostly impressed by your continuing ability to do home repairs. Actually I am amazed I can still do them at 70.

It's a tired cliche but age is only a number.
