I read this article today about curing the "disease" of aging.
“The first person to live to be 1,000 years old is certainly alive today …whether they realize it or not, barring accidents and suicide, most people now 40 years or younger can expect to live for centuries.”
So then I found this website which forecasts how long you will live based on your responses to a few questions. According to this, I'll live to be 108. But if I turn on the "superlongevity factors" which account for all the technologies they expect to come out, I'll live to be 224. Sheesh. At that rate, I won't be in my childbearing years until I'm 60. Sweet, that means right now I'm, like, a teenager. Does that mean my car insurance is going up?

i can't wait to meet your down-syndrome children. or will they have that figured out by the time you're 60?
I will be 99 without super powers and 149 with some of them. I think I would rather make it to 99. I wrote a little comment yesterday and I don't know why it didn't post. I just wanted to let everyone know that we have a private family blog and if you would like to see it I need your address to send you an invite.
seriously, check out their blog. way sweet post about chia by danika.
When I was 8-ish I made a goal to live to be 100 years old. A few years ago I met a woman who was 98 years old and what she said made me re-asses my goal. Although she had a lot of very positive suggestions on longevity, she said one negative thing that stuck with me. She has out lived all her close friends, all of her kids, some grandkids, and has buried four husbands.
But...this is great news. Now I won't be lonely and may even be the first to die.
Heather, I made a goal when I was little too. I decided to live to 103, based purely on a song sung by Jiminy Cricket, saying he was going to live to be 103.
