Who else but the insurance industry would bring you an online tool to help calculate your Date of Death?

1. I came up with 95 and I have to admit I don't care to live that long.
I'd be happy with 85.

2. That's as bad as your doctor telling
you the Reaper is at the door. Bend over, grab your ankles and kiss your ass good-bye. You've got 2 years to live.

Happened to me, it's been 3 years - I'm still here. Not even sick, Thank you Goddess.

OOooooops, we made a mistake. Thanks for 3 years of utter hell. Ya BASTIDS!
BTW, I'm grateful you fucked up. :evilgrin: :bounce:

3. I don't think it asked about diabetes
But it's early and I haven't finished my coffee or my pharmaceuticals

Diabetes typically reduces an average lifespan by several years.
A lifespan calculator that doesn't consider diabetes isn't trying very hard to incorporate risks.

5. Hmmm. According to this, I could add nine years to my life if I...

...#1 cut my stress (hard to do after being sued by medical predators for a huge hospital bill for another family member that we shouldn't even owe!)

...#2 visited a doctor regularly (hard to do when one is unpaid for her work and has no insurance!)

...#3 weigh what I did before the healthcare mess in our family started (would be much easier to do if I could first take care of #1 and #2 above.)

In a nutshell, I guess I will die nine years soon because of our uniquely American, greatest healthcare system in the world. :eyes:
