Gents, IMHO, there is a gradient involved in getting old. How you feel, what you can still do vs. a birthday count. 5 years till my Dad's age, 8 till my Moms. when they went Don't plan to go anywhere short term, but my fervent wish is for my body to fail before my brain.

What will I ever do when it has to be a cell phone? Hate them, will never own one. Their loss as a business, freedom will find a way.

Just don't get caught in the medical merry go round. Based on biopsy I had a slight presence of a very slow growing cancer. Second biopsy, nothing. Cat scan, PET Scan nothing.
