    Mine was 98. My grandmother lived to be 97. My mom was 87. My dad 80. My other grandmother was murdered so don't know about that one.

    Oh no. I ask myself this everyday. Took the test and it said 99. Crap. Grandmothers lived to 101 and 95. However aunts kicked at 87, 84, 92 (less than gram) and mother at 79 "...but she smoked " Interesting how the aunts under-lived grandma...I think it is because of the chemicals in our food these days. Final thoughts: support alzheimer's research.

    Good Gosh Me Either! But I have plenty of fabric to get me to 92!! Do I start planning for the next 38 years? Suppose I should stop fretting about who's going to get what and when.

    OOps-it was 97. Better get those glasses on. Got a few years taken off for stress.
