I don't drink coffee, never acquired a taste. Limit my soda intake to maybe 2 or 3 a year. Never smoked, only beer and wine, and fairly moderate intake maybe a couple of 6-packs in 3 weeks or a bottle of wine that lasts all week in place of beer. No hard alcohol, just feel bad afterwards. Limit Red Meat, limit Fried Food. Lots of veggies and Fruit. Desert is limited to special occasions. Hoping to extend my as life as there are way too many good things to see, neat rocks to go find and I want as much time feeling well as I can get. Figure all this increases my chances of having a lot of active years. Of course you never know what's waiting to kick you in the butt tomorrow as there are no guarantees.
Would agree that there are medical conditions and illnesses that no one should have to suffer with for extended period. Medical profession needs to focus on extending quality of life rather than extending the quantity of life. I do not want anyone telling me how long me or my loved ones needs to suffer.

Amen to that Henry. If I could, I'd end the pain I'm going thru today. But the doc won't give me the right damned pills, so until my timeclock runs down I'll enjoy me coffee and all of the foods they preach not to eat.

Sorry you're going through that Don. I hate the thought of it but admire you greatly as a classy, brave guy who walks the walk. It's good to see you posting again, even briefly. Hope the coffee and other goodies help a little.

Cliff, I gave up drinking 32 years ago tomorrow, but I've got a fifth of Jack that was given to me back in 69 that has been tempting me.
Thanks Mel. Things are getting pretty rough, but I try to keep a good attitude.
