Will anybody here not make it to the 2050s, naturally speaking?

Weeelll..I had at least one great-aunt who made it past her century mark, so that may mean a ray of hope for me...and I have never been a smoker or a drinker or a user of harder drugs*, so I might make it to that decade. But I'd only want to reach that age with my mind intact (more or less).

Oh, if I'd only known
Ah, what your heart cost
Oh, can we call it a loan?
And a debt that I owe
On a bet that I lost -- "Call It a Loan" (Jackson Browne & David Lindley) R.I.P., Mr. Dave, and thanks for all the music.

With me it depends on if I live as long as my dad (no) or as long as my mum (yes).

As for the brain, my mum was pretty good in that department up till her last couple of months and a doctor remarked that it was good to meet someone at her age (early 90s) with all their faculties. She replied that although she still had all her faculties they were not all in the right place.
