Poll: how much longer do you think you MIGHT* live?

*You’re not being asked for surety nor exactitude. It won’t be necessary either to point out that you don’t know because the timing of one’s death is often an unknown factor, I’m already aware of that.


a. Maybe 50 years or more
b. Maybe 25 to 49 years
c. Maybe 15 to 24 years 
d. Maybe 10 to 14 years
e. Maybe 5 to 9 years
f. Maybe 2 to 4 years
g. Maybe a year

 

I choose b; I think I have about 35 years or more left in me.

    That doesn’t really answer the question though....

    B, possibly A but I really doubt that.

    Probably B, but how can any of us really know?

    Unless this is an important poll, then don't start. But does he mean American years or Canadian years, eh?

    You should just change your answer to “G” if you plan on telling me “don’t start” one more time. THAT’S MY LINE.

    Less than “g” is more like it.

    Who stated anything about any of us knowing, Stu?  Duh. 

    English may or may not be a language with which you are familiar, but do you know the definitions of the word “MIGHT”?

    I'm dead meat. I should have died years ago. Check-in on me in another year (b).

    15-24 years.  Wow, when you think of it like that, sure seems fast.

    I'm 51, so probably B. The menfolk in my family (both sides) tend to be relatively long-lived, the women not so much. My father is 74 and still hale, one grandfather lived 86 years, the other 98. My mother passed at 69, both grandmothers younger than 55.
