My digestion works fine.

I'm 65 in a few weeks and I eat an Asian diet .. rice, veggies and small bits of meat or fish.

I appreciate the comments about finishing a prescripotion, but empirical evidence over the years has yet to indicate any problems.

If I die earlier than what I should or what anyone thinks I should, it will be for not quitting smoking soon enough

Besides .. I know where I'm going, whom I'll meet and whom will follow ... eternity doesn't look that bad.

There’s a woman across the street and down at the corner from us that is 102.

She smokes lightly, drinks wine, and is a ‘meat and potatoes’ gal. Claims that she hasn’t ever been to a doctor, or taken any ‘store bought’ medicine.

She may out-live both of us (I’m 68)
