    Not that old - I don't want to outlive my kids. I've already outlived most of my son's hair, lol.

    Hahahahahahaha! That's rich Sbf! "Outlived most of my son's hair"! That is very funnee hunnee. I PROMISE I won't tell him you said that. I dunno. If Jim and I can have the same quality of life we have now at 81 and 79 respectively why not? If we can be independent and not a burden to anyone and still have fun each day as we do now I'm not gonna put any other restrictions on it EXCEPT for outliving our kids. That would not be anything we'd want to experience either. Thank you for reply and Happy Friday! :)

    I agree with thee bh. It's a perfect figure in fact, isn't it? Balanced. Rounded. Very pleasant. Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday! :)

    If i have to choose to die in this hideous old world and system of things, right before the great tribulation breaks out. Under God's new system of things, NEVER!!!

    Apologies my friend but I'm not quite sure I understand. Could you clarify what you mean?  The question is "how old do you want to live to be" and "NEVER" doesn't answer it as far as I can tell. Thank you for your reply Autumn and Happy Friday! :)

    If I understand your answer correctly, I think you are saying that if you have to die in this system of things that you would want to die right before the great tribulation breaks out.
    (Matthew 24:21) for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.

    Under God's new system, you would never want to die.
    (Psalm 37:10, 11) Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. 11 But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

    Am I correct?
    (Psalm 37:29) The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.

    OK rosie, I get your question, but seriously deep down inside I do not believe anybody can choose at what age to die. Life is beautiful and only some one that is suffering to an extreme will think to want to die. I also just wanted to say "Hi" :))) This post was edited by Autumnleaves at April 21, 2017 11:17 PM MDT
