Married men are often waited on hand and foot, it's a no brainer that with less stress they'd live longer.

More educated people live longer; obviously, intelligence counts here.

There are millions of people around the world who live into their 90s that somehow failed to get their PhD's. The only possible factor to support your claim is that "more educated" people are wealthier and can afford the very best nutrition. Comparing two people with the same diets and life circumstances, I doubt the "more intelligent" person would necessarily live longer.

The poor live shorter lives. But worded differently it means we live longer.

Hooray for you!

People in multilevel homes live longer than those living in single level homes.

Unless they fall down the stairs and break their necks.

Republicans live longer than Democrats.

Donkeys do tend to carry the workload.

I knew a guy who went through three wives before he finally died. Third wife dropped dead after serving him lunch, seriously. Fourth wife buried him.

People with pets live longer than those without.

Better satisfy my yearning for a big, beautiful German Shepherd. Have wanted one since I was a kid. Problem, now, is I have a postage-stamp yard - huge house, small lot.

More educated people live longer; obviously, intelligence counts here.

Probably the money counts more. Access to better education, diet, health care.

The poor live shorter lives. But worded differently it means we live longer.

Again, the money counts more.

People in multilevel homes live longer than those living in single level homes.

Guess I won't move out of my two-story anytime soon, much as the steps annoy me these days.

Moderate drinkers live longer than either teetotalers or alcoholics.

I'm in trouble. Pretty much a teetotaler, always have been.

Republicans live longer than Democrats.

Probably because they have ALL the money.

Now let's have a treat and listen to the great Irish tenor John McCormack.


John McCormack - When You & I Were Young, Maggie (1925) - YouTube

Thank for that. A true Irish Tenor. I've got a ton of 78 vinyl recordings around here. Now, if I can get one of the old turntables going, again, I'm in business.
I figure I'm good until 96 - so says a life expectancy test I took a month or so ago. Very probable, barring the unforeseen.
