Sigh....I must have mistyped. Gotta be subconscious, right? Let's try almost 20,000 days old :o
The other interesting thing is that the world's population has more than doubled in my lifetime. Hell, even accounting for me and Gus' mom, I can't be responsible for more than a third of that growth!
My Mom has very high standards, you should be flattered, Pop.
You were always my favorite, Gussy :)
I'm older than:
The Ford Mustang, Home VCRs, A nuclear China, high-speed rail, and bubble wrap ???.
Just realised today that I'm older than the SuperBowl.... :P

Damn it! I hadn't thought of that one. It's depressing enough when you realize your childhood sports heroes are....how old?!?!?! When did that happen, lol?

I'm as old as British Rail, which was nationalised in 1948. Also India gained independence.
I'm older than the Hula Hoop. That'll have a few people using google search.

That makes me wonder how much time I've got left. :-\
If you don't live at least another twenty years, Greybriar, I'm going to be quite angry with you. 8)
I'll see that 20 and raise it to 30. 90 is the new 89 after all.

I used to think that since my maternal grandfather lived to the age of 96 that I would, too. Then my father died six weeks shy of his 85th birthday and my mother died at the age of 87. My 67th birthday is later this month. If I take after mom, I've got 20 years left. If I take after dad, I've got 18 years. But if I take after grandpa, I've got nearly 30 years left (my paternal grandfather doesn't count--I've already lived longer than he did).
^Just try to enjoy every day. Being retired, that should be easier for you.
That's good advice, Gus.
Hard to stick to on some days.
As Gus said, gotta take it one day at a time. Your life is your own to live and make decisions with.
When I decided to lose weight back in January, I wasn't taking it too seriously. Then a good friend, an older gentleman that ran a theater group I'm with, died of a massive heart attack, that lit the fire under me. I know I've added years to my life thanks to the 53-some-odd pounds I've dropped since then.
My family has had issues with obesity in later life, which is more to say 'eating and not exercising.' Most of them have had resultant health problems like diabetes and PVD. While they're family and made their decisions as to how they wanted to live, and suffered a shorter/less comfortable lifespan for it, I made the choice to do the opposite. I still have 30 or so pounds to go, but the bulk of it is off.
Now watch, I'll cross the street later today and get run over by a milk truck. Even though nobody drives milk trucks anymore, that would be my luck...
I try to count my blessings. Without modern medicine I would already be dead.
I'm a strong Type A personality. At the age of 30 I had the cholesterol of someone who weighed 400 pounds and ate a package of bacon a day (I'm neither). Modern drugs got the cholesterol into better than normal range.
I have diabetes - also based on genetics (I'm thin and fit). With the drugs, no major diabetes issues.
Many, many males in my family tree died of heart attacks and strokes in their early 40s. With the drugs I may outlive most people.
^Well if you think of it that way, without modern science...if I was born in 1924 instead of 1974...I would probably have been still born.
Banzai that is awesome you have lost 50+ pounds. Congrats!

Thanks, Gus. The cruise last week really screwed up my eating habits and I'm having a hard time getting back on track, especially with running as I haven't done it for a couple of weeks, but I'm getting my ass back in the gym every morning now and trying to get back down.
