Helen, I did not know you were an ex smoker or if I did, I had forgotten. True, I wonder what kind of shape we would be in if we had never smoked but back when I started we were not aware of the pitfalls and too, in my opinion, way back then too the tobacco wasn't sprayed with pesticides, which may be the factor that causes so much damage to our bodies. I can remember when my dad grew tobacco and we kids would have to help pick those big green worms off the leaves, this was before pesticides. I have family and friends that still smoke and I would love for them to quit but as I told one of my friends the other day, they have to do it for themselves and not for anyone else. It's hard to quit, I know from experience and to be honest, if I had not developed chronic asthma, I may have continued to smoke but when you can't breath, you can't smoke. :) I ended up in ICU twice gasping for breath from an asthma attack and it was very scary and I definitely don't want to ever go through that again. :( Quote:
Hello Evelyn
Interesting! According to that little piece of software, I will be able to
bad mouth my brothers for 15 years. :)) I really don't know if I want
to live past 90 years old ...and anyways, I don't think I will ..but then
I didn't think I would live to see my 70's because of all the smoking I
used to do in my lifetime but here I am much to some people's chagrin.

Hello everyone, I received this in an email yesterday from a long time friend and I found it fascinating. See what you think. :)Watch your age in the upper right corner!
Kinda fun to watch your age go up and down as you answer the questions.
Now this is interesting, give it a try....
How long will you live? This is a calculator that estimates your life expectancy.
It was developed by Northwestern Mutual Life. It's interesting that there are only 13 questions. Yet, they can predict how long you're likely to live.
