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 miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
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.
