According to its calculations, I will die on December 18, 2053 at the age of 91 years, 8 months and 3 days. Interestingly enough, it also mentioned that the average life expectancy of other females living in the U.S. with the same BMI who took the test is only 68.3 years. HAH!! And my maternal grandmother passed away in March last year at the ripe age of 97; she would have been 98 in October. My great-aunt, her older sister, lived to be 99. So I'll be in good company. However, I'm not exactly thrilled at the thought of expiring on my ex-mother-in-law's birthday... And it's right in the middle of the holidays, which will put a good many people out. The good news is, at least it should be dreary, cold and rainy during my funeral! :-)
To give yourself a date to look forward to, go here: Death Clock
Jeez, you're brave, Lucretia. I can't do it. What if it says tomorrow? I've promised to make cinnamon buns for friends in the morning. ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, then wait until after that's done and THEN do it, you know, when you've actually got the time to be dead. Of course, some of us just never DO have the time... :-P
DeleteThat'll be me ... NO, I CAN'T GO NOW! I have to finish sewing / baking / reading / making that one last thing.
DeleteAt least I hope that's how it's going to be. Preferable to sitting alone in a room with nothing to look forward to, just waiting for it to happen. Bleh.
Oh, I SO totally agree with that. Bleh.
DeleteI've got to say, I really don't want to check in with the death clock. Yes, the idea is intriguing, and I don't doubt that the clock/software can make some informed calculations, but I'd rather not know.
ReplyDeleteIs death something to look forward to? I'm not totally convinced because I really don't know what, if anything, comes next. The problem is, the older I get the more I think about it though.
Hehehe, you know, since I looked myself up, I can't stop thinking about it! Not in a bad way, but it's still 'there'. And then I looked up my husband, and he's supposed to go 15 years before me, at only 76! Of course, we know this is a silly game and NOT real, but it does kind of creep up on you once you've seen an actual date, sort of like the Grim Reaper standing behind you where you just can't quite see him...
