I think we've entered the age of mortality at 60. That's scary enough, but if you haven't done all the stuff you wanted to do by then, they you had better have a good excuse.

 

I always thought that 66 was the age-at-which-you-couldn't-argue - as I took to be age that Hemingway had had enough. Then I discovered that Hem died aged 61. ????

Why scared? 1 out of 4 guys dies before 65. Retirement age has always been based one expecting a good percentage to die just around it, sadly enough.

The dead don't know that they are dead, so its all irrelevant really.  It comes to us all and when it comes, one hopes it will be quick and painless, after that, its just nothing at all, so absolutely nothing to be scared of.  

Easy, start a BBQ in a bathroom and its peaceful.

Oh, so are you going to start quoting religious rubbish to me now, from the world of the made up?  I don't believe in mystical beings, reincarnation, goblins and elves, ghosts, poltergeist, smoking bushes or any of the other myriad of made up stuff.  If you do believe in this nonsense and it gives you some kind of comfort, then good on you. I will stick to what is real and known. 

I have no idea. How can u be sure? Seems to be rather narrow minded

How do you distinguish that which is known but not real?

Cancer is a natural cause.

If it had been a drug overdose or shooting that would be an un natural cause.

 

70 is the new middle age.

Hmmmmm. I've always taken from birth to be the age of mortality.

Yah by age 60 one is likely to be attending more funerals and fewer weddings, but I don't agree that one's list of things they want to do ought to be all accomplished by then. 

Agreed .........

I was 63 before I'd done everything on my list.

Last thing on my list was bungee jumping, did that here, Phuket, inexpensive, over a lake, at 44 yrs old.  Can't think of anything else want to do.  Visit a couple places, but too lazy to just go the the airport and wait around for 3 ish hrs, let alone sit on a plane more than 2 hrs.  So must not be too important.

 

Traveled out, since worked for airlines, and made things easy, more importantly, cheap, or I probably would have never left continental USA.
