What do you figure leads to long life? Do you think you will live to be very old? What are your reasons?

I really liked her answer for why she lived a long life "Drinking red wine and minding her own business". I think when you live a carefree life and mind your own business it helps your mental health. Plus taking care of your body helps too. RIP Edith, it's amazing she lived so long.

Nope. I always felt I would get cheated somehow. I imagined it would be cancer.

These days I no longer think I will see any cancer. But I have stage 4 chronic kidney disease. Most people with CKD die of cardiac issues, and not the actual kidneys failing.

I don't think I'll live an extra long life due to eating so unhealthy, not exercising enough, and perhaps my mental health was taking a toll on me from time to time.

I feel ya @Cory Life these days tends to take a toll on most of our mental health in some way or another. It's tough.

Sorry to hear about that. I will be praying for a recovery. You seem like a swell fellow that doesn't deserve it.
