    According to this quiz. I'm going to die in the next 3 to 7 years.

    Interesting, seeing as the only risk factors I have are heart disease and stroke in my family, I exercise like crazy and I'm amoungst the fittest of the population. Diet's good. I'm married and don't sleep around.

    I have had 4 of the major stressors happen in the last 12 months. Do they really weight that stuff that heavily. I can't imagine that I'm ready to keel over. I'm only 35.

    I posted this just to give an example of how skewed some of these quizes are. Very interesting tho.

    It is interesting, since I had a stroke and a couple of TIAs (I am 37) and apparently going to live to 104. But I had no stressors, so maybe the quiz weighted those heavily? My dad sent me a really long Real Life Test and that had me living to 106. Go figure.

    My life expectancy is 93.86 years. If I lost 60 pounds, it would add one month to my life. So I guess I can stop obsessing about losing weight, huh?

    hmm. I'll take it. My father died at 47 of a heart attack, but I like these numbers much better. My brothers and I are all in our forties with that "magic" number 47 looming closer and closer. Talk about a major stressor...
