My great grandmother lived to 104- her longevity was attributed to bitterness and anger.

maybe this will help...

My dad was born in Dec of 55... My mom is turning 50 in October.. and this might not help but I'm turning 22 in October.

Tonight, I decided to take some of my woes to NirvanaMan's house. We ate Indian food, played with his Wii and has martinis. It was a good night. I feel good now. That nice buzz I had was wonderful. Combine that with playing Rayman and shooting bunny things with a gun that shoots plungers made my night.

I think I'll survive being 37. I guess I'm lucky. My dad went completely grey when he was in his early 20's. I still have mostly black hair on my head. Best of all I know lots of cool people. LoTs of cool people.

Thank you, ozron, for being older than me... by just 3 months.

Longevity is in my genes as well.

When my great grandmother was 105 (and still walking, didn't need glasses and had all her teeth), they found a lump on her breast. Knowing that she would not survive a surgery at 105, they decided to just let nature take its course.

After a few months, it started getting nasty and festering. It was finally determined that even though it would probably kill her, to go ahead with the surgery.

She lived to be 107.

no such genes in my family. 70 is old for my kin.
but as always I plan on bucking the trend as it were

There's longevity in my family...unfortunately it's all on the female side.

Gemini Cricket · 03-06-2008, 10:41 AM

My great grandmother on my dad's side lived to be 100. My grandmother on my mom's side is 86 and still going.

Speaking of, my grandmother talked to my mom the other day after a long period of not speaking. My mom was brushing her hair and my grandma caught sight of herself in a mirror. She ran her fingers through her hair, rolled her eyes and said, "God, I'm old!"
I thought that was funny.

Longevity on my Mother's side, she lost her first sibling (of 6) last year at 97-98, her mother lived to be 104. Alas, my Father's side of the family has not fared as well in the longevity department, his mother passed when he was 11 (1933) and his father at 55, my Dad at 54 (2 weeks from 55) and his one full sister also at 55, his half brother did a bit longer, as did his stepmom into her 90s, but that does not count. I do miss Grandma Lulu though, she was a fabulous Auntie Mame kind of grandma. I figure I will be lucky to hit somewhere in the middle!

My mom's mom lived to be in her 70s. Mom's dad died before I was born of a heart attack (in his 40s or 50s I believe). Dad's mom died before I was born of a heart attack. Dad's dad lived to be 87.

Crap. That means I have heart issues on both sides (and diabetes which was no doubt brought on by poor eating habits). My mom has high bp, my dad has low bp and I have ridiculously low bp. That's good.
