... you've only got one body, don't take preventable risks with it.

I know guys that smoke and drink and die at 100 and guys that have no bad habits and excercise that had a heart attack at 55 but... these are usually the exception.
ya know that is so true, my mom and dad are perfect examples, my mom lived a very outgoing and healthly life but last year out of the blue she came down with a gleoblastoma in the visual center of her brain and she just passed in july. but my dad is a fire fighter and they have a life expectancy of about 55 yet hes 50 and still very healthy (obviously not emotionaly, thats another story intirely)
Yes buddy, been there. I lost my mom unexpectedly to cancer, it was 10 years ago (still hurts) took us all by surprise. Even tho' she was 70 she took care and lived a healthy life, the doc's said the rest of her was as fit as a fiddle and without the cancer should have lived another 20 years or so. As for my Dad 80, he's smoked since 15 years old (given up now tho'), worked in a chemical factory 40 years till he retired, breathed in god knows what fumes, much of this was before 'health and safety' officers stepped in to clean the factory's environment up, and yet now he's in great health for his age. Fortunately he re married a couple of years ago, and he's a new man again.
There's no answers ............
Stay close to your Dad buddy. Best regards.
Ron.
