It is good not to be alone, isn't it? I also remember as a child telling my mother that she wouldn't still be alive when I had children. She is though. Maybe not quite the same thing, but I wonder where I got that from, since all of my grandparents lived until I was past 30 (my mother's parents are still around now), and I had a great-grandmother who lived until I was 20 - she was all but 100 when she died.

According to the worksheets for computing life expectancy that were used for that paper, my life expectancy comes out to 84 1/2, which is totally incomprehensible to me, and not even desirable, really.

Oh, here's an idea maybe how I came up with 30. I knew that I would be 30 at the dawn of the new millenium. Maybe that had something to do with it, but I didn't buy into the Y2K scare though - I just didn't expect to be there.

One more thing - I found a website called RealAge <A target="_blank" HREF=http://realage.com/>http://realage.com/</A> and they have a test you can answer to compute your "real age" based on your health status, etc., and my real age comes out to 29, so I can claim that somewhat legitimately.
