Life is not guaranteed. I've known people who lived a very
unhealthful life style and they lived well into their 90s. I've known
people who've died before their 1st birthday, and every age in
between, regardless they followed all the healthful rules or lived as
unhealthful as imaginable yet lived to all different ages
.... there is no way to know when it'll be ones last breath. My
grandfather on my father's side did hard physical work all his life,
was an old fashioned plumber who'd carry all his tools and stuff on
his back in burlap sacks, ate all kinds of fatty salty foods, drank
booze like it was going out of style, yet lived to 96. Every evening
before dinner he'd sit out on the front porch of a B&B in Woodridge,
NY my grandmother ran, with a bottle of vodka, a tall glass of cheap
caviar he'd eat with a spoon, and puffing Chesterfields... all the old
ladies in town would whisper he's going to drink and eat himself to
death yet they were in their 50s and he was well into his 80s and he
outlived all of them. My grandfather on my mother's side was a
coppersmith roofer, he put the ss roof on the Chrysler building... he
also ate all he wanted and whatever he wanted, pickled herring by the
quart, bread and butter by the loaf, and drank Old Overhaul like some
drink lemonade... he lived to be 89... he didn't smoke, maybe if he
did he'd have lived longer. Right now I know of two women, one 55 and
one 45, both dying of inoperable cancer. The younger, Julie, was the
tenant here, she was a vegetarian health nut, don't think she weighed
more than 115 pounds and was 5' 5", she hardly had boobs yet she's
dying from breast cancer, leaving two children in their mid twenties,
sad.
Bwrrryan is one of the most ignorant people I've ever encountered.
