How long have you got?

 

Life expectancy in Australi ahs hit an all time high, with newborn girls expected to live to 84.5 years and boy to around 80.4 years.

These new figures are up from 83.3 and 78.5, respectively, a decade ago.

A modern-day 70-year-old woman can now expect 18 more years of life, with 15.6 more for a man of the same age.

Fellas at the ripe retirement age of 65 will typically have another 19.5 years left in them, with women at the same age having another 22.3 years.

Here's a chart of how many extra years you can expect at whatever age you're at.

According to this I've got 18 to 20 years left. Glad they told me that now I can set out to prove them wrong!!

In a positive direction, I hope.

But of course!

 

At 105 years old we will still all be sitting in here with our computers on and spare parts arranged around the room....

except you Banjo..you'll have to be careful perched in that branch...lol

If I hit 85.5 I'll be laughing – I thought I was lucky to make it to 30!!

I would not be planning my future around these projections - Death has a sense of humour and loves surprising people.

Life is like that.  Here today gone tomorrow.  It's a lottery laced with statistics so enjoy every day.  

That's ok kfchugo...I'll be happy if I die laughing :)

One day less after today.

Two now, I just got here... :)

I don't care how long I've got, I'm enjoying the ride so far and when the next stage comes I have no worries. 

 

What's the old saying:?  Live Fast, Die Young and have a Good Looking Corpse *:).

 

Unreal Hola, I had that written on my motorbike helmet...

Abby, can you put my outfit back on the hook when you have finished parading in it around the chook pen....lol

 

Well my dear HOLA and Abby and the rest of you party boys ........ I also make it last night Friday 28 .... Lots of drinking music and dancing nearly got drunk.... But I make it.

 

My grandfather die at 95 because cancer tumor everything else was ok never sick my grandmother the same ...My mother a bit young at 80 and only because breath cancer otherwise she will probably still alive.

So based on this DNA stuff of my family I probably live until 100 ....dancing and drinking he he he he and my kid are prohibited to make a big thing when I die I told them to have a party to celebrate my great live and finally retirement from Earth .... No cry no funeral Bloody house that cost money or flowers none of that just a party to be happy then continue living......

That is me fun fun fun

so Yeahhhh shit ... do not disturb me ...........  he he he he ......................



Lolololol....That's me done in...I just died laughing....

Way to go...... :)

 

Aussie -  Dear Friend,  That is so funny. I hope I make it to at least 90 and then they can pull the plug. In the meantime I have a lot of living to do. Being here and having a laugh is so important. Don't forget, we are all going to the Hotel Trannsylvania on Halloween Night and are going to kick our heels up with dancing and drinking and Cranky has some wonderful food arranged.  Hope you will be there and bring a couple of your Spanish Amigos that play Classic Guitar, I feel like doing the Tango. See you there! Look up Thea's posting of Castle of Count Dracula, Enter at  Own  Risk, it's all there.

That's good Aussie, that's what life is all about, enjoyment!!
