As a comedian once said, "I don't have to get permission to open a window".




More healthy than who? Perhaps more healthy than unhappily married people? I wouldn't be afraid to compare my health with anyone, married or unmarried.



You shouldn't try to judge others based on your regimen. If you have a condition, and your doctor asks you to get checked every 6 months, then perhaps it's called for. When I get a yearly check up, they schedule me for the following year.



No. I guess good health is so rare at my age (71) that people think I must be playing tricks on them.



It must be cholesterol medication. I've known a few like your friend. My diet is about 99% vegan so I don't need medication to lower my cholesterol. It's well within normal range. And, as I have said before, my blood pressure (taken at my doctors office) is very consistent at 100/50 (without medication).



No, I'm not offended.

I am glad you are happy and most particularly healthy on your diet and your lifestyle. I was just going to ask you to come over and sit on our porch. We have the best time there. We three and the neighbors stop by and it really, really adds to our happiness and probably doesn't hurt our health either.
