Nope. I try to live every day like it could be my last. I try not to have a bad day and I have really worked on letting things go. I have dropped several people from my life who were making me miserable. Life's too short to deal with drama!
After reading everyone's share on this topic and then thinking about the question good and hard, I'm ready to offer my two cents of seeing some advantage to knowing in that it would make my remaining life very efficient much like when having much to do. I'd have a killer to do list that's for sure.
Expiration dates don't scare me. I'm still drinking milk that says November 9 on the jug. I'd just ignore the date and live right on. I think, at 77, I'm already past the expiration date that insurance actuaries would have given me when I was born.
I'm afraid an online survey has little chance of giving anybody an accurate answer. Let's say, a random accident or shooting is going to kill somebody on a certain day. No survey is going to see that coming. And few fatal diseases are very predictable. Now, my mother and older sister both died of different kinds of cancer, ages at time of death similar in their early 70's. Neither one even had 6 months to live after the diagnosis was made. Kind of scary. I'm in my late 60's. But who can really know? I guess I would normally assume my DH would die first, but have seen it happen the opposite way with couples too often to just assume that.

Lee, it was on the internet so it has to be true!
