  • It's In My DNA

    From Mike Dippel@999:1/1 to All on Thursday, December 05, 2024 20:00:28
    My mother's side of the family generally lived well into their 90's. My Dad's side was
    more like late 60's. 2 of my dad's siblings suffered from diabetes, were heavy smokers
    and had a mild addiction to drinking.

    When my dad died at age 68, I told my older brother that this was a good look at our
    family history. I told him that the amount of alcohol my brother consumed daily and the
    amount of cigarettes he smoked would kill him someday. (My dad was a chain smoker
    and heavy drinker and died from cancer.) My brother died at age 55 and had cancer in
    literally every orifice of his body.

    I believe that at age 75, I am the oldest of any of my ancestors on my dad's side of the
    family, so I guess I favor my mother's side.

    I take health very seriously, and I am pleased that those of you who subscribe to the
    health network must as well.

    I have always suspected that smoking tobacco is pure chthonic evil.

    It truly is, though I did give it my best for over 40 years. :-)

    I'll better you on that. I smoked for 40 years AND survived throat cancer, and I still feel the same as you. Can't stand the smell of smoke on other people's clothes though. :-)
