You say this OGF as if it is something that is the fault of the person that if they just changed their NMA all would be well.
Just like changing a pair of socks .
What you describe as a negative mental attitude is depression
Depression is a serious illness just as much as any other it just can’t always be seen .
And it is the reason why many people many young and healthy commit suicide every year .

Re: Living too long
I definitely don’t want to die, l want to live forever. I don’t feel l am sitting in God’s Waiting Room.It was bad enough making a will. When l had to read through the document and saw the front page of the will, l was filled with sadness that one day it would come true.
For now, l will keep upbeat and hope l can live to at least 100. Then l can come on here and swank my letter from the Queen......Oh, hang on...how old is she now?
It might come from the Beckhams or the Blairs if we become a Republic!

Looking after ones body...through exercise...does not guarantee ,years of efficient service.
It fact in some cases it can be detrimental to ones health.( over the top exercise)
In moderation..it may help...depends a lot on ones genes,I believe.

Re: Living too long
I am 92, I still have all my faculties though I have slowed down quite a lot due to the old body not wanting to do what my brain tells it to do. I have Arthur Itis as my constant companion and at times am in agony.I know that my days are numbered but I am going to fight with everything I have to stay alive. A lot of folk say "I don,t want to live forever" I do.
I want people to say of me in 50 years time "By Heck!! He looks good for his age"

That’s true about exercise Pauline many top athletes have all sorts of problems in later life .
I agree about the genes .
People who live long lives generally but not always have parents who lived long lives .

Re: Living too long
People who are "obsessed" with exercise ...have got a screw loose.I hate them pushing their over fanatical ,push ups on to me.
Then they have the nerve,to moan about God botherers.
Exercise botherers,we can do without.
I exercise...but I don't keep..."preaching" about it to everyone else.on how many push ups,or miles I have ran in a day...
Obsessive exercise ,is "BAD"...any sane person knows...it will "not" prolong a life,
