I didn't think I was lecturing anyone and I didn't say "possibly more fried food later".

Not all of us are strictly focused on merely living a long life. We're also focused on living a happy life.
I hope you do make it to 115 and eventually become the world's oldest man.
I also hope you develop a supportive circle of friends so you live a happy life, as well as a long life.

Thanks for the well wishes. But I wonder why you (and others) seem to think that I don't or wouldn't have a circle of friends? Do you think living a healthy lifestyle is incompatible with having friends?

Croup. Asthma, Coughing for months with no known treatment.

Visits by the doctor to our home where they gave your parents a small envelope with pills and told them to feed us "tea and toast" for a few days.

Signs on our front windows warning of contagious disease within that quarantined the home.

Did I think of everything?
How about the radiation from the x-rays of our feet in the shoe store to see what size we wore while trying on shoes.

So the answer is yes! You have reason to believe that a circle of friends is incompatible with living a healthy lifestyle! That's what I thought.

Just as I thought, you also have reason to believe that a circle of friends is incompatible with living a healthy lifestyle.

What do women do when they get together? Hmmm! Do they eat pie, ice cream and drink coffee?
