Not a fan of it. I didn't see the calculator for a Stage 4 metastatic to bones guy. On the life expectancy I put in poor health, heavy drinker (I'm not) and little exercise. I put in that bad stuff and it still gave me 15 years. I'd take that (until I got there of course). I tried to take the breast cancer one but they are biased and assume only woman will check into that.

Due to my life style the life expectancy said I'd live to be 102. It also noted that if I reduced my alcohol consumption (craft beers a few times per week) I'd live 11 month longer. Nope, it's not worth the 11 months.

Which somehow reminded me of an unkind quip. A church was holding a raffle to raise money:

FIRST PRIZE: One week, all expenses paid, in Philadelphia!
SECOND PRIZE: Two weeks, all expenses paid, in Philadelphia!
