Title of this thread brought some memories back. My brothers and I would talk as kids and joke around and such. Remember my older brother joking around how the Good Die Young, dipping Skoal or whatever name brand just being a young teen. Remember him saying I'd probably just live to 38 and Michael your probably live to 83 or something old. Wish he could have been right could of had my older brother for 23 more years. April 29th is usually a pretty tough day surprisingly it went by without me giving it a thought on that day. Must have been real busy. Sorry for posting off topic. Just felt like sharing.
Thank you for sharing. I have 3 brothers and a sister. We are all still alive. I remember sitting in a dormitory room as a freshman. There were about 5 of us talking about our aspirations. Someone said they wanted to be a Doctor. Someone said an Engineer, etc. I said I just wanted to live to be 50. I made it.
A fellow who worked for us (a total nutjob, but friendly sort) was about 30, he would go on a new diet (raw, nuts, bluegreen algae, seeds, fruit, etc) at every whim of whatever the last book he read.. His goal was to get old. He's about 50 now, and I don't know how that's working out for him, but I will say he succeeded in LOOKING old.. he looks about 60-70 now
