Add the date of your guess to the Wiki!

Bonus points for guessing the right cause too!

FYI - over use of !!! is not an acceptable cause of death unless you can provide credible thoughts as to how it might kill me!

Background information to aid in guessing!
  • I was born in 1945.
  • I did smoke for a few years around age 22 to 25 but haven't in the last 40.
  • My father lived to be 72. My mother died at 93.
  • I am in decent physical shape. I walk several miles every morning and do weights twice a week at the gym.
  • Recent medical data! Blood pressure - 122/74. Cholesterol - Total - 176, HDL - 49, LDL - 87, Triglycerides - 151.
  • I eat healthily!
  • I'm a social drinker usually. But I have a few beers every week too on my own.
  • I'm still largely functional below the belt area!!
  • I exercise my mind a lot! I'm using something called the internets to post this now on my WebTV box connected to my TV!!

Let the speculation begin!!! Whee

FAQ -

How are we going to know when you die?
My daughter has been long been informed she must post a thread on Slickdeals in the event of my shuffling off this mortal coil!!!

Who gets your Gran Torino?!!!
nessykins has exclusive rights to my car! (and notintended gets all my bacon salt /end)


SlicKitty:
You will die of death. I refuse to predict when, because that's just wrong (and I wouldn't want to be right).

Ummm, Ref, sweetie... it's great that you're "cool" with your mortality and all, but betting on it is a little morbid, don't you think?
I think it's hilarious! What can I say? My humor is a bit morbid and macabre!!

If we as humans can't have a slight sense of humor about our lives and then ultimate end, that's awfully dry and boring.

I take the good with the bad!

Quote from Maleficent :
Besides that, how are we going to know when... something happens? Dontknow
I do hereby promise and swear in the event of my demise Slickdeals will be notified! I told my daughter she has to come post here if I croak before the wimmenz go crazy if I'm gone for moar than a few days!

Quote from Maleficent :
Oh damn, the Ref's destined to at least 105.

Are you happy in a long term committed monogamous relationship?

Own any pets?

Overall stress level?

BMI? Waist size?

Illicit drug use?

What percentage of the time do you wear your seat belt? How many miles do you drive or ride in a car a year?

How much of a life insurance policy do you have, and do any of your family members with weapons know about it?

No! Happily single. My wife passed away seven years ago.

Quote from someone28624 :

None!!

Quote from someone28624 :

Almost none! Do I seem like an overstressed kind of guy? Roll

Quote from someone28624 :
BMI? Waist size?
30 to 34 pants depending on the brand and which ridiculous sizing chart they decide to use!!

BMI is around 20 think! But I could have that wrong!

Quote from someone28624 :
Illicit drug use?
None recently! But I lived during the 60's and 70's!! So... I tried things. I was never a user! It was more for curiosity than anything else!

Quote from someone28624 :
What percentage of the time do you wear your seat belt? How many miles do you drive or ride in a car a year?
I wear my seatbelt 100% of the time if the car is moving! Passengers are also required to do the same!!

I drive 15,000 per year or less.

Quote from someone28624 :
How much of a life insurance policy do you have, and do any of your family members with weapons know about it?
Won't disclose that for privacy reason. But no at the implication! Roll

My money will outlive me and I am generous while I'm alive now. My immediate family doesn't have a want for money.

Wow. You're a serious analyst!!

What's next? Do I have to submit urine? Colonoscopy?

Quote from DNC :

Roll

No wai. Moderators can confirm that!!

Fair enough. Smilie


I just don't like thinking about your dying... Sadwalk

Okay! Biggrin2

Colonoscopy! Woot



No really, I have no desire to know the results of that, I just want you to have to drink that fantastic liquid stuff and nothing else for two days... Coverlaugh

Lol, I love how seriously you took my post. I am holding off on my official guess for now, but preliminary results say you're not going anywhere any time soon.

Any colonoscopy pictures would be appreciated. I'm also curious about your BUN, creatinine, fasting glucose, ALT, AST, and vitamin D level. Wink

How are we going to know when you die?

Are you a witch?

I need this to determine your floating time in case you ever fall off a boat while fishing.


Also, do you fish?

I've had my share of colonoscopies! So I do hate that shit they make you drink! It was only for one day with me though but that was enough of that crap! Pun intended.

But that was nothing compared to what I experienced with Salmonella!!
