    Monday, June 1, 2026. I guess 50 is the new dead.

    On TV the restaurant one is slightly more tolerable than the car one.

    It said my Dad died in 1990. What do you think he'll say when I tell him that when we have a family BBQ on July 4? "Hey Dad, you died 18 years ago."

    According to mine, the kiln should've been fired up two months ago.

    My father apparently died in 1996. He'll be surprised to hear about it.

    I did this on two computers:

    The first one: Friday, March 17, 2051. I hope I get good and drunk on St. Patty's Day prior to my death at age 78.

    The second computer:
    Normal: Sunday, Oct. 15, 2045. I hope its after the NFL games so I know how my fantasy team did that day.
    Pessimistic: Aug. 26, 2028
    Optimistic: Dec. 8, 2068. I'll live to 95.
    Sadistic: Oct. 15, 2009. Only 16 more months to go...

    I'm sorry that made me laugh out loud. You're immortal.

    Copy that link and send it to the social security office immediately.

    Outlook is a HUGE swing. Were I pessimistic, I'd have been gone 14 years ago.

    The pessimistic thing is interesting. Obviously pessimism and stress are related to one another. Economics have been proven to show wealthy people as being happier. And if politics makes one angry, what does that say about things like party affiliation? Is one side more optimistic than the other? And journalists are by nature cynical...cynics tend to be pessimistic. Are the people who will live past 80 on here the optimistic journalists among the site?
