Both sides in my family. Mother and her sibs all had problems. Paternal
grandmother as well. Father.

Modern technology is the only reason I can sit here in my underwear and
type. Well, maybe not the underwear, but the typing part.

I've always enjoyed that breeding thing.

Note the trend here, though; if it holds, you're good to go until
you're damn near 90....:-)

More than that, the only uncle I have left, out of five, will be 92 next
month. I think every artery and major vein in his body has been
bypassed. He quit smoking, drinking, and eating fatty foods 40 years
ago. No idea about anything else. He's also damned near bedridden
nowadays, can't even go fishing or hunting anymore.

I wouldn't mind living that long if it works out. MIL will be 98 this
year but she's never had a drink of alcohol, smoked a cigarette, or been
dancing. Got six kids though so I guess her life wasn't a total loss. <VBG>
