People 'choose partners with similar life expectancies'

People unwittingly tend to choose a partner with a similar life expectancy, according to new research.

A genetic study found humans also unconsciously select mates with similar risks of illness such as blood pressure or heart disease.

Experts say the findings help explain why long-term couples often suffer from the same ailments in later years.

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh concluded the effect is likely a result of choosing a mate with shared lifestyle factors that are genetically linked to disease. These include risks such as smoking, or healthy behaviours.

I never had the good fortune to marry so, taking the above into account, it occurs to me that I might live forever.

Or will it just feel like it?

I'm sorry monster.

I know it's a lot.

Go to bed, Nite Nite.

monster · 02-26-2019, 09:17 PM

you and I clearly live in different realities.

But since that post I've put the laundry on, cooked dinner, flea-treated the cats, so I guess I'm a little closer. lunches, dishwasher and some other shit to go

oh and then there's the crippling inertia that sets in when I'm finally ready to go upstairs to overcome.....

oh well

I hear you, and I get it, and I'm sorry. We'll all stagger through together, because fuck the world, it doesn't get to win.

But sometimes surrender looks very appealing.

Giving up looks very appealing, sometimes.

monster · 02-26-2019, 09:21 PM

oh yeah and then the insomnia that sets in once the inertia lets go ..and the nightmares after the insomnia if I manage to fall asleep early enough that I start to dream before my alarm goes off....

Go to Bed

Rub one out, you'll feel better.

Ya still might not be able to sleep, but, you'll feel better.

Smoke a bowl.

You and I will never know the infinite relief of a divorce.

Ya want the best of both worlds, so to speak?

Throw away half of what you own.

I've started working on this. Last year, I went through every one of my closets and cleaned them out. Goodwill got a metric butt-ton of good new and used clothes/shoes, plus books and small electronics and appliances. I was also able to get rid of some old computers and TVs (they recycle them for free). Claimed it all on my taxes. Win-win-win.

I need to keep going with this, though. I think this year, I'm going to tackle the front room in my house. That's where (1) I keep a bunch of boxes of stuff that didn't sell at my last yard sale a few years ago, and (2) multiple boxes of misc family treasures and house decor items that I lugged home from my folks' house.

The yard sale stuff can go, but I need to decide what to do with the stuff I brought home from SoCal. Some I want to keep, but there are quite a few things I plan to sell. Need to get going on this!
