Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Clay : please do not take the lifespan test too seriously. For me it said I should live to 81 1/2. I took it for my spouse, it said he should live to 87. It does not account for variables, obviously. Kim Want to know how long you have left? Take the quiz at http://www.livingto100.com and find out.

Nor for accidents. My father was a healthy man (as far as anyone knew) yet died at 42. I didn't take the " test " because I didn't want to send the test-makers a lot of info about me.

No, I won't, I plan to collect all the money I've paid to Social Security and then some, but it did make me think about quitting smoking, which was probably the largest variable. I retook the test, changing only a few things, like smoking and do I floss my teeth or not. I figured that since I only have 8 teeth remaining, and I use a toothpick, I'm not at risk for heart attack due to gum disease. > Nor for accidents. My father was a healthy man (as far > as anyone knew) yet died at 42. They did try to account for accidents, in that they asked whether you use a seat belt always, sometimes, seldom, or never. My original answer was " never " , because I only hook the seat belt over my shoulder so it looks like I'm wearing it. (The reason for that is, I once crashed a fuel truck at a iron ore mine, and when I went back to see the truck, the steering column had been shoved through the driver's seat. If I'd been wearing a seat belt, it would have been shoved through me.) > I didn't take the " test " because I didn't want to send > the test-makers a lot of info about me. > Jane (not paranoid, just " testy " sometimes) As you've said so often, Jane, " that didn't even occur to me. " :-P Hey, have you all heard of " Toogle " ? Click on: http://www.c6.org/toogle/ and type in your name or any others you think of. Mine produces an odd photo of some- one standing in front of a plane, (I think), and 's brings up a picture of a man, presumably named Klein. But " Jane Meyerding " brings up a fairly clear photo of one of her bears! Clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No seatbelts on the roof of a house, though. >Hey, have you all heard of " Toogle " ? Click on: >http://www.c6.org/toogle/ and type in your name or any >others you think of.

I'll try it this afternoon. So one of my bears has a web presence under my name, eh? Maybe that's like Pooh living " under the name of .

Maybe that's like > Pooh living " under the name of . " I guess by now you've seen it, and you could say that he's living " under your name " , about a thousand of your names. Be sure to click on " About Toogle " and the " Popular searches " buttons too. Fun. That's http://www.c6.org/toogle/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did discover that if I clicked on " image " (on the left towards the top) I could see a real picture of the picture, albeit tiny. And I managed to come up with the name of one real person for whom toogle was unable to find any picture at all. The bear living under my name is . He's on my home/index page, though he lives in Vermont now. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I didn't take the " test " because I didn't want to send the test-makers a lot of info about me. Jane (not paranoid, just " testy " sometimes) I avoided the first part, about the address, and personal info. i didn't care about the other stuff.
