    2nd clock.
    Thursday, December 9th, 2055.
    Dunno if I really, really want to live to see 105.

    1st clock……I met my demise 3 years ago.
    That makes me kinda sad because I do not remember anyone shedding a single tear at my funeral.
    Moreover, I don’t even remember having a funeral.
    I don’t even remember dying!
    Senility has surely set in. Imagine that. A senile dead guy who couldn’t remember to lay down when I died.

    Seriously though. Whatever the future holds, bring it on.

    The dear bard didn’t consider that death just might be the necessary beginning.

    ...or he was aware that Life existed, following the final Act.

    Maybe you should run at him and mock the gods as your final act.

    LOL. The first death clock I tried said, “Sorry, your time is up. Have a nice day.”

    I’ve since found some better ones. The “better” ones ask a whole lot more questions.

    I'm gonna sue some of these sites for lost revenue because they caused me to stop making long term investments. Hopefully they won't engage in delaying tactics.

    Investments? Heck, I’ve been dead for the last 3 years so I wonder why folks keep wanting money from ME.

    Death clock??? never heard of it and think I'll just pass on won't read that clock.

    And Ken, downing a bottle of grape seed extract wasn't very funny, sounds like you are making fun of supplements....I've been taking one a day for 27 yrs and not one bottle a day....

    My dear neighbor just left us at 96 and took grape seed extract and ate blueberries almost daily or as often as she could get them. She was strong for the most part but 2 bad falls in 2 days did it. Pushed her over....l

    I take grape seed extract and have for quite a while; I also eat blueberries often because they are one of the healthier fruits we can eat. Nevertheless, I don't expect miracles from either and often make fun of it.

    Well then you must have fun making fun of some things that can help and miracles, who is talking miracles, keeping one heathier is what I'm after.

    This exchange reminds me of my father and how I got him to take a grape seed ex capsule back in 1995 when I started and was so HIGH on how much t hey were doing for me. He took 1 and quit, said it did nothing. I quit working on him....no use. Mom took them for a couple yrs// she was already 86 when I got her to take them. She died at 91, some odds and ends took her.

    My point remains: don't be so touchy. People are allowed to disagree with you, just as you are allowed to disagree with them, and we don't all take the same things seriously. Death will come for all of us eventually, and this will be true whether we agree to it or not.

    After all, the best supplement one can have is a good sense of humor.
    Our attitude about things can add or subtract years so laugh, smile, live long and prosper.

    Laughter is the best medicine. I'm sure I've heard that one before.
