1. Only 25 more years - it doesn’t look good for the home team. I wonder if its because I’m slightly overweight, smoke, live by myself, or didn’t have any grandparents that lived very long?

86 here. I have a great-grandmother who’s 90, and my dad’s dad lived to be 87. OTOH, mom’s dad only made it to 58 and dad’s mom 45. I’m thin and I don’t smoke. However, I don’t exercise either.
