#12  A good friend of mine bred show dogs and White Faced Herefords (steer).
She told me that females should have young while their bodies are still plyable. That would be from 13 to about 20 years of age. Silly older women want to have a career first and then take a few years to bear a child. Not too smart that.

Doc White: Well, stop drinking so much, forget gambling and stop chasing them young gals!

Me: Will I live longer?

Doc White: No. But it'll damn sure seem longer.

#7  I was let on to the big secret by an extremely old guy some years ago. He said that most people just have their thermostat set high. They get married and have kids when they are 18, and are grandparents by the time they are 36 and die by 55.

He, on the other hand, got married for the first time at 57, and he and his young wife had three kids. He then bragged that an ancestor (a civil war general) hadn't gotten married until 70, and went through four wives in ten years (mortality), producing seven children total.

He said, people who live a long time generally don't do high-risk behavior, not because somebody told them not to, just because they don't enjoy it overmuch.

So for most people, he advised the people drink, smoke, and drive in fast cars, because if they can, and they like it, they're going to die young anyway, of something or other. If they don't like it, they are probably going to live to be old.

Fatalism? Naw. Observation.

#3  Â“He had terrible bad habits. He had a diet largely of sausages and waffles,” Dr. L. Stephen Coles, founder of the Gerontology Research Group at the University of California, Los Angeles, said Friday...A lot of people think or imagine that your good habits and bad habits contribute to your longevity,” Coles said. “But we often find it is in the genes rather than lifestyle.”

Not that the Chicken Little Nannyites will shut up about this cause its all about CONTROL. And note well, even though MSM publishes this, they won't pay any attention to it cause it won't file air time or columns.
