I don't know if you all have heard about the website that takes your stats and approximates how long you will live?
One of the more commonly-used ones is deathclock.com.
I remember checking it years ago and was not alarmed at all by the results.
Today????
My Death Date is NOV 28, 2008. Yep, 17 months.
I KNOW it's not carved in stone and a lot of different factors come into play that are not taken into consideration, but OH MY GOD.
If nothing else, that should help me keep on track with changing a lot of things.
Man, what a sick feeling...

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
My 40th wedding anniversary, LOL.
I have to laugh...if I don't, I'll cry.
Matthew 6:27 (NIV) 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
We can't control when we are to pass from this life to the next, that is not up to us, or those silly sites. We could pass away this very hour, or we could LIVE past those very time slots those sites give us as an expiration date.
I tell ya what is going to happen, someone is going to take those sites seriously and then worry to death over death itself and that worry beats down that body!
You go do your best, you talk with your doctor about your options, he is your health adviser, and you leave those silly sites alone. We are all worried about how much we weigh, but you hunny dont need to also worry about when your going to die, that can really dampen your mood, and fling you into depression. Get out, smell some flowers, have some coffee with a friend, watch your favorite movie, take a walk, pray, and let tomorrow worry for itself.
I'm just glad the date didn't say TODAY!
I'm OK. I know it wasn't a very smart thing to do.
I can really get myself worked up!
Thanks to all of you for posting.
