My maternal grandmother lived to 112 and my maternal grandfather lived to 106. No, I don't think I would like living that long.

@Kandae11 Yeah, I know... My oldest brother still living is in his 90s now. The next brother is 65, then me, 59. We have one sister still living and she's 69.

I will not mind if I am as active as I am now. The only sad thing would be that my contacts would not be there.

My aunt lived to 95. I don't want to live that long, unless I am really physically fit and can take care of myself.

That's amazing, I have had a few on both sides of the family that hit the century mark.

No one I knew made it that long, but I think it would be cool if I did. I wonder how far advance our world would be by then.

I can't even imagine living to be 119 yrs old. My mom and her sister both lived well into their 90s but didn't make it to 100.

I am watching my mother suffering with false teeth and thinking of that RC nun. If God gives me good metabolism and strong teeth and bones (and health) like when I was in my late teens, I wouldn't mind living that long. As it is, I am already tired of life seriously.

Good for her. She was probably bored once she couldn't work anymore. No one in my family has lived past 85, but yes, I would love to live to be 100 if I could do it and still be healthy!
