How old is enough???

[Southern Fried]

Every day we see ads for this or that new "wonder drug" or "procedure" that will let you live to be 100 or more. I have 1 question...... Why??????

Don't matter who you are, once you pass 65 or so, everything starts going downhill..... health, mental ability, finances, you name it. Just a matter of how fast and how long.

That's why it's way better to become a vampire in your late 20s like I did.

In today's America everything starts going down hill long becore 65.

Good point. I see 90 year olds still spunky as ever, but in my case I will need all joints replaced by the time I'm 60.

How did ya manage to pull that off ?

my dad had health problems then died this past April at 92.

there are others, much older that are still in relatively good shape and health.

i think it's in the DNA, as at least a small part in a long life.

to me however, i think that 100 should be a cut off point for at least a still coherent life, free from a nursing home, but maybe assisted living home.

i know that i would not want to live past ANY age, if i require constant medications, to stay alive.

I asked another vampire to convert me.

Duh.
