I wonder if he took the rest of Spock's advice & also prospered? :? :P

Sheesh, the idea living to be 112 just doesn't appeal to me. I mean, I'm 55 now, and I'm already running out patience for dealing with stupid people. And the thought of having to make small talk for another 57 years...that's just horrifying!

No, sir.. but I do plan on living as long as I can & prospering as much as I can. 8)

Ideas came from my own research that was inspired by bits of medical info I gleaned from my Herbalist friend and especially his Naturopathic Doctor father - but it all comes back to meeting his son, which is why he remains one of my favourite humans to this day & I moved several Tonnes of landscaping stone into his parents backyard a few days ago for their medicinal/edible backyard garden oasis. I owe everything I have, am, and will become to that man.. and he knows it when I *hug* him.
