[QUOTE="PollyCranopolis, post: 3197136, member: 553423"] Just crazy to think of yourself living to 80-100, and still being able to drive, and do reasonable tasks just like people in thier 20's, but have so much more worldly knowledge about life, and the way things are. I think it would be so weird to look at yourself in the mirror at 80, and still be capable of doing the things you like to do with little assistance. Imagine feeling fine, but knowing that you'll be dead in the next 10 years, and reflecting back on all the things you've done and seen, all that you've learned, all that you've loved. I dunno though, most elderly people I talk to, including my grandparents, are so laid back, that they rarely worry about it, and have come to accept inevitable old age and death as a part of life. Here's an old broad that had quite a wild life as well..right up to the end.
