Rob, Congratulations on your marriage of many years. AS sincerely as I can state, congratulations. I hope you and your wife are still in love and enjoy each others company AND have many more years together.
That doesn't change that your progressive wagering "system" is a bunch of nonsense. And it isn't even new nonsense. It is longtime common voodoo knowledge.
Unfortunately, the 70 year old thinking and stating he is as healthy as a 40 year old is a person in denial a trait that seems to repeatedly show up with you. Denial or alternative reality or just unable to accept reality....which ever terminology you want to use.
I suspect the 40 year old reference is in regards to me?
I am not yet 40 for a few years but whatever. Yes, I do have some health issues despite that I sometime deny it, trying not to give you the satisfaction you seek in wishing ill of others. I have a heart issue. To be specific, a heart valve issue that has caused my to have 2 heart surgeries before I turned 35. The second was a freak thing of the medical device wearing out very early, after 6 years when it should last 20-25. Short end of the bell curve on the most important thing in my life so far.
So if you want to take pleasure in that I have had 2 heart surgeries, I don't know what to tell you. That is a reflection on you, not me. What I can tell you is that aside from my heart issue, which I do everything I can and am told to do to remain as healthy as possible, I am pretty healthy. I eat well, am not fat (although, the last 6 weeks at home...well.
) I exercise regularly, run long distance a couple times a week, play sports regularly, have run in marathons since my second heart surgery. And while I work hard to stay healthy, I will almost assuredly have to have a 3rd heart surgery at some point. Hopefully by that time, advances will be made so that it can be less invasive.
So the point is: maybe you are fairly healthy for a 70 years old. Pictures from 10 years ago didn't look like it, but maybe you are. But you are not healthier than me and you are not healthier than most 40 year olds. That is just more denial, and alternative reality stuff on your part. You are a 70 year old man. Just be happy and enjoy the life you keep telling everyone you have and stop trying to prove shit that is fantasy stuff.
