    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 believe they can predict how long you're likely to live. :scratch: :scratch:

    According to this, I'm heading towards 96 :yess:

              An interesting dilemma:-

              If I drink 2-3 drinks EVERY day I will live a year longer

              If I drink 3-4 drinks TWICE a WEEK I will die 2 years sooner.

              Its more dangerous to drink 8 glasses of wine a week than to drink 21 glasses?

              I wonder how good for me 1 bottle a day is?:scratch:

              I'd stick to the drink if I were you! :dbgrtmb:

              Bottles can cause blockages :( :nono:

              Alas, no question about chicken consumption. If anyone doubts the powers of this miracle food, I refer you to my cat. He has cancer and the vet gave him two months to live. That was two years and three months ago, or around 15 human years. When he came home, he knew exactly what he needed: chicken, and lots of it. We mash it into a sort of slurry for him as he has no teeth. Chicken soup - the wonder cure. :heehee:

              Crumbs. Only 67. Might as well not be bothering with all those vegetables, then.

              I was doing really well, and it was starting to look like I'd live for ever. Then it asked me about drinking and smoking.

              Still not bad. Apparently I can look forward to dying when I'm 83. Not too bad.
