    I have given up soda for my diet, I know I sound crazy...but I’m having withdrawals and am craving Coca Cola.

    That Dr. Pepper woman is my hero, I love her.

    She's great, I want her to adopt me.

      I think withdrawals are a normal reaction to quitting soda? I had an Aunt who was literally addicted to Pepsi (I’m comfortable with “literally” here lol). When she was diagnosed with diabetes the doctor allowed her to wean off.

      That is totally normal ESPECIALLY with sodas that have caffeine. After a few weeks/a month you should be fine. You are awesome for sticking with it.

    The late pregnancy one is probably related to the fact that wealthy women have children later in life and wealthy people generally live longer. Better access to healthcare and nutrition and all that.

    Anyway, I’m off to cook up a pan of bacon! How much bacon is an obscene amount for one person to eat? I have def polished off seven slices on my own when recovering from a hangover.

      I do not believe there is such a thing as too much bacon, and if you are deprived of Bacon you can always use bacon fat to roast the most delicious brusselssprouts.

      Bacon-roasted brusselssprouts are vegetables and thus are healthy.

      Interesting... I figured it would have to do with that (the later babies = wealth = better healthcare/life-in-general thing) but I also for some reason have always figured it had to do with genetics. In so much as, I understand very very little about science or facts, but I do remember reading at some point about telomeres and all that stuff, and it just seemed logical that women who age more slowly would tend to have children later in life. Because of both biological and psychological reasons. Of course, this is also probably because I am relating it to my own family, where women tend to live to their 90s or 100s regardless of lifestyle or overall health, tend to look younger than their age, and have children later in life and in very small numbers (I only have 3 biological aunts/uncles and 1 biological cousin, 1 sibling, very little extended family... we just don’t reproduce much).

      Also I am so stoned I can’t figure out if I started this reply trying to be funny and failing or simply having an over-earnest opinion.

    I don’t know what this obsession with living forever is. I’m 53 and this aging shit is kicking my ass. My son is 14 now; I’d like to see him married or at least with a strong group of friends around him so he isn’t alone, but once that happens, I’m okay with it. Earlier if I get sick.

      I’m with you. I’m about your age but I don’t have children. I’ve had a very charmed life. I don’t want to spend the last 10 years of it semi-lucid in a nursing home.

    Everyone knows the only way to live forever is to find the sacred sword in the dark cave many miles underground, take the potion made from a hundred sacred cow brains and the hopes and dreams of 300 virgins, travel to Heaven in a dream and then murder your God so that you can take his place commanding over the dominion of all of Heaven and Earth.

    It’s literally the first thing you learn in school so I really don’t understand the point of this article.

      You are living the dream, my friend. Except for being under a subway seat. It's nasty down there.

        “I skip the God stuff though because I don’t have infinity hours in the day!”

        Maybe if that didn’t get skipped, the infinity hours would totally manifest!

        I’M GONNA LIVE FOREVER!! I’m currently childless with no plans to have any in the immediate future.

        Next time I get asked about when I’ll have kids I’ll just yell “WHY DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE??”

          I really don’t want to live forever. Mid-late 80’s and I’m good. Maybe 90 if I’m still spry and have my wits about me. I don’t fear death; I fear dying. I hope to go in my sleep or in some awesome explosion or smething. JUst there one second and gone the next.

            Death in your sleep would be fantastic. A neighbor of my mom’s came home from the grocery store with his wife and one second was standing in the living room and the next collapsed and was dead. Another good way to go - fast and with no complications.

            Awesome explosion - that I could do without.
