In Jewish greetings, you bless someone by wishing them to live to 120. I hope Bob Hope lives to be that old and who knows. :)

Number of centenarians expected to double every decade

Yikes! There'll be 37,888,000 of us in 2099, when the next Y299K crisis hits!

I hope I am high above the earth looking down on the rest of you when I turn 100. I have NO desire to live that long, unless it is a good quality life. So far I know people in their 80s and 90s who are doing Great. But I don't know anyone in their 100s who is doing well. But maybe with the longer life there will also be better quality of long life?????

While good that life is longer it is very sad to see an elder outlive her elder children. My grandmother outlived 2 out of her 3 kids. She died at age 97. Her 2 children both died in the 10 years prior in there 70's and it led to her deterioration no matter how many grandkids or love that she had helping her.

I just thought about my lovely littal angels (my little girls) and how this areticle said that over half the womens will live to be over 100. That means they should see the year 2100 - what a wonderful feeling
