I don’t get how “Hope” enters into it.
If the guy wants to die at 75, he can die at 75. He’s from Chicago, right? All he has to do is wander into the right neighborhood at about 2am and things will take care of themselves.
75 is too young. Shoot for 83
I’ll die when the Lord wants me to die. Until then, I’ll have breath in my body and God will have some use for me.
I hike with guys and gals in their seventies (in a hiking group) - In some cases they out hike me, like they’re a quarter mile down the track and I play catch up. They wait.

Which apparently is quite a frightening thing for him and his ego to deal with. Understandably so, but with each experience from each new perspective, we have an opportunity to learn, to understand and to forgive, which can result in wisdom and growth. Resistance is foolish.
By the time I reach 75, I will have lived a complete life.
So arrogant, this Ezekiel, to think he's learned all God has planned to teach his soul, something He created and knows a bit better and knows better what it needs than Ezekiel himself does.
What he says now and what he will do when he reaches 75 are two different things. Remember all of those people who said that they would leave the country if Bush was elected?
Should my Aunt about this. She just turned 100 and spent the day peeling and canning tomatoes from her garden. My Uncle, 98, still writes a weekly post about organic gardening for the local paper.
“We are no longer remembered as vibrant and engaged but as feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic.”
My friends and relatives that are 75 or over are dearly beloved people from whom I can always learn something new. How emotionally bankrupt I would be if I saw them as “pathetic.”
But here is a simple truth that many of us seem to resist: living too long is also a loss.
Mark Twain called old age a “wonton insult”. Frankly I’ve seen many a 90 yr old who seemed to not have a care in the world.
I could only get banned if I post anything about this!!!!
Zeke, the rest of us hope you just die and go to hell long before you turn 75, you evil scumbag.
"I want Palliative End of Life Optimum Serenity Initiative (PELOSI) for the peasant masses no later than when they reach a maximum age of 75. Now when I'm 75 and still dictating people's lives I can say, 'Hey! I said that I would be happy to die at 75.' Not that it is any business of the peasants."
WE will get back to him when he turns 74.
75 isn’t that old if you take good care of yourself and with modern medicine.
It’s that modern medicine thing they want to take away.
Even though many people have been paying into the health care system their entire life without using it.
When you start to really need it they want to take it away.
From you that is not them, they will make exceptions for their favorite groups/people.
Only 75???.... what a quitter....he should go for it now.....
Take care of the job now, while you still have control.
I hope he dies yesterday.
Why wait Zeke? You’ve more than enough damage.
