    Will you make it to be an OAP?

    or die sooner than that?

    I'm my fathers double, his mother died at 93.

    Immediately after next week's budget speech, like half the rural dwellers in the country.

    My family average is around 74 so I'll plump for that.

    Whenever I feel like it, no illness is going to make me its b*tch.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag


    I reckon I'm halfway there. So, 68.

    At about 98, when I've enjoyed a good 20 years of being a crazy cat lady, saying what I like to people that annoy me and grabbing young male nurses bums.

    Lot of extreme longevity in the men in my family so my basic death clock should be good for 90, or more. That said I reckon I've raced it on a bit by not being as fit and active as most of them.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I'm gonna hold off until I'm 100. Always wanted to make triple figures so think I'll wait til then

    Hello depressing thread.


    I reckon late 40s-50s which isn't too far away (I'm 21 now) my grandparents on one side both died young. My grandparents on my moms side are both still alive but grandma had many lumps removed, grandpa had cancer in recent years, and all of the women in our family don't seem to have great health. My own mother had a few lumps removed from her breasts so I'm really dreading it will be breast cancer...or any form of cancer to be honest.

    We all know we're going to die but I'd prefer it to just happen rather than be giving a date.

    All the men on both sides of my family die around 50 - 60, so I'm halfway done.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    I'll probably die in a virus outbreak caused by terrorists. So, within the next 10 years.

    I'd imagine my mid to late sixties. Cancer throughout the fathers side, heart problems and tumors on the hens side. I've probably got the liver of an 80 year who drank heavily all their life, so best leave that off the organ donation list o_O

    I hope to a good age, certainly long enough to see my kids grown up and maybe even get to have the craic with a few grandkids.... but only as long as i can go to the jacks unassisted

    i wouldn't want to hang out too much after 80, so maybe a healthy heroin habit a la The grandad in Little Miss Sunshine might expediate my departure at that point


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭Ross_Mahon


    Hopefully cryonically frozen in suspended animation


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,120 ✭✭✭fungun


    im the spit of my dad and him and his parents were all dead by early 60s :(

    Some advances in medicine might stretch me out, Ill go for 68. So basically once Im flogged from working but before the state pays me my pension. You can thank me in heaven.

    Wouldnt mind if I could stretch to a 69 though, be a good way to go

    Hard to tell. My grandparents on my father's side both died relatively young (he's outlived his parents, agewise) yet on my mother's side they lived until their 70s and 80s. So.... *shrug*
