I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just turned 50.)
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him,
'Do you think I'll live to be 80?' He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?'
'Oh no,' I replied.. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'
Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?
'I said, 'Not much... my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!'
'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'
'No, I don't,' I said.
He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'
'No,' I said.
He looked at me and said,... 'Then, why do you even give a shit?

Mary, you are my kinda gal.

I'm with your doctor, if all that is true; why would you care?

I reckon if when you do make it to 80, it'll seem like a blink of an eye

Just turned 51 myself, I have the same lifestyle relpies as you. After reviewing the post, I can assure you with my luck (and lack of vice) I'll live a nice. boring life much past 80.

buckeye shooter,

actually, you won't live that long. It will just seem like forever...

You gents do realize this is a 'joke' and not a vignette from my life story...

I was just trying to be funny too , looks like I'm not even good at that!

I always heard the truth will come out...

Fifty, huh? I have bluejeans your age!

Rich

thanks for the style and humor you bring to the forum maam.

Well not claiming to be the most senior, but I'm falling apart compared to 25!!
I know its not going to get better either!

Oh...your darn Whippersnappers, pull up a stoop and share a Cuban with me.

Damn! You got some big feet there girl! I would take a box or two if you have some spare Cohibas...?
