Pure PR bullshit. He’s a 70-something year old man who is at least 30 pounds too heavy. A strain on his heart, probably his cholesterol and joints too.


Not necessarily. I’m 69 and about 50 pounds overweight. Weigh 240. Should be 190.

BP 129/78, A1C 5.7. Recent EKG shows no problems. Heart in great shape. Both HDL and LDL in normal range.

Climb up and down ladders all the time. No problems.

78 and at LEAST 50 over.....still work (drive - at my own pace as to how much) regularly only ‘med’ I take is an aspiring now and again...

Last contact with Medical Profession was in 2007 when I underwent Cataract Surgery, my first REAL interaction with that Community since 1959 - other than a few Physicals for reenlistment and discharge.

At my physical for pre cataract surgery my cholesterol levels pinging center line - I have a ‘see food diet’ and don’t watch anything.

I admit I am ‘different’ than most but in 1991 I gave up - COLD TURKEY, 4 packs of Regular Camels and about a case & half of beer daily—plus a shot or two and other different ‘shooters’....

I was no crazier than usual.

I don’t recommend my actions to anyone BUT for someone who really didn’t expect to see 30, I feel that I am living on ‘good time’ for an extra ‘50’ years and haven’t really changed anything - since the beer & cig event.

Your reply to that Lizavetta person was good, but entirely too polite.
