Didn’t mean to cast aspersions 🙂 I shall endeavor to be more supportive of the longevity efforts of others. That does sound like I want folks to croak :). No! Live long and prosper! May the sun never set. May the transition be easier than that envisioned by Albert Brooks.

Maybe I just need a good rest (sleep = mini-death). Things have been taking a toll, and extending this out in perpetuity is an overwhelming thought. But I still expect to check out in a modest amount of time. Will try to leave the planet all the nicer for those of you who stick around for the after-party!

Also, agree that deficit thing sounds like a fabrication. It’s being conned by other people in the present I worry about. Plus we don’t want to make it too easy for the future generations. Give them some challenges.

When you get sick do you seek medical attention? You don’t have to. Must be because you want to live longer. Others do too.

Y’know a lot of my family is of the Christian Science persuasion. Avoid doctors like the plague. I think the religion selects for healthy people. The infirm “backslide” and go to doctors. The healthy stay Christian Scientist and credit it to their righteousness.

Ironically, they also want to be immortal. Just without the medicine. I find them amusing as well. But you can all have the last laugh and dance on my grave. Speaking of which, did I mention I have a business idea for disco-graveyards? For those people who want to have people dance on their graves. Since I haven’t gone out enough to dance during my life.
