I have heard stories of people having DNR tattooed on their chest but I've never seen it with my own eyes.

Nursing homes, even nice ones, creep me out in the worst way. I hate the smell, the sounds, the whole thing. I have had residents spit at me as I roll one of their newly-deceased neighbors out on a cot. I have had residents beg me to take them with me, I had my grandfather beg me to kill him when he was in nursing care.

I have also met folks who are 100, or really close to, and are hale and hearty, spry, a few still driving. I was trying to make funeral plans with a man once, he told me he was still a young man and wasn't ready for that. I asked how old he was, he replied, 93.

There are OLD 70 year olds, and young 100 year olds, some of it is genetic, some of it is lifestyle choices, some of it is dumb luck, a lot of it is attitude.

I have enough cardiac issues in my family that I don't expect old age to ever be an issue for me, but I sincerely hope I croak before I become a burden on anyone. Then I can be laid out in that Marsellus Mahogany casket and sent off...
