Ray, to ignore the point of possibly feeling better, and possibly being healthier in some regards before dying at 95 could have been saved.

"Survival" is just the heart beating and the brain alive. Living in maybe healthier conditions covers more than just surviving.

But hey,,,,we all do what we do, and from whatever experience we had.

My mom pours salt over all her food like it's snowing! Only recently, (age 88), did her blood pressure rise a bit. Probably from other factors of aging too. So I know about how certain people can do certain things and others might not.

Sorry to hear you dad is gone.....Mine too. 76,,,they said from smoking, and saturated fats through all his life. Heart, and not congenital.

Breakfast not that far off now! 7 and half hours!
