I think the following talk by Dr Michael Greger suitably complements the above chart:
Boss,
Cheer up, death comes to us all, it's a matter of time.
I want it to happen as soon as possible. The thought of living too long makes me really miserable.

Have you lived a purposeful life?
I've pretty much done all that I want to do. I could go today with no regrets.

You likely to go the full distance. Folks that are fully prepared, calm to the point where nothing about death fazes them end up carrying on. Not sure if there is a medical reason connected to being calm but there must be some relevance.
I am sure you are the type that knows how to occupy your time meaningfully. Most folks in their sunset years do the cruise, tours circuit. The odd contrarians that I have met do things such as going into business but not for profit but to busy themselves and keep chatting with people they meet. Pub, coffee kiosk, donut shops etc. They tell me that that the fear of getting stuck in the house terrifies them. I suspect elderly pet owners are the same especially the ones that adopted a pet for the first time. Taking the do for walk is not just for the pet but for themselves. Its all good.

Disagreed, you haven't try the threesome and foursome yet, right Boss ? laughter is the best medicine
I'm now living life at 100mph juggling internet stuff with a photography business plus cycling plus travel.
Photography is the most satisfying because it actually creates something which will outlast me.
I would like it to end suddenly while I'm on a high.... a massive heart attack at the top of Ventoux would be great. I'll be there in 2017 if all goes to plan.
A true believer heading to Mecca for the final fulfilment. Make sure there is nothing questionable in your system, if not you will be placed next to Simpson. I banished the thought of ever going to Mecca. By the way, sat right infront of Froome at Emirates lounge in Dubai. He was typing away and I was doing the same. When I finally looked up, too stoned to open my mouth and wish him the best.
By the way got the EM5MkII sometime back. Thanks for the test shot in the cafe some years back. That convinced me.
Do you mean Chris Froome the mint OBE?
Yes. He was actually wearing "Sky" badged casuals, though not every conspicuous. Baseball cap, slung low. Even his laptop case was badged "Sky". The lounge was pretty crowded and I just grabbed this seat. He was already there.
He was complaining about the snow, the cold and the wet and its dangers in a recent tweet.
I replied to his tweet and told him that if he was too scared to ride in bad conditions he could always go home and leave it to the genuine hard men of the sport to do battle.
The response? He (or his minders) blocked my account within an hour of my tweet.
Draw your own conclusions.
I am not surprised based on his background. Single parent trying to make ends meet etc. Certainly not a team player. Very much a loner, never one to show his cards.
