6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?
I think live to the age of 90 with the body of 30 year old. I people retain their experiences and learn through out their lives. If I had a 30 year old mind I wouldn't have those lessons and experience.

7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?
Probably some horrible illness. But I prefer to think I'll live forever :P

8. Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common.
We both like cheesy films (old films), we both like film scores and reading.

9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?
I like to take in the moments and I'm grateful that I have those moments to look back and remember.

10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?
not sure really.

I think i'd go with mind too. all i hear from my parents is "mentally tired" all the time

living forever is a good goal, another question would be; would you want to live forever, personally i think a healthy 120 is enough to achieve great things!

Hmm 120 seems good, I suppose it would depend how you age physically, I don't think I'd really want to be exceedingly frail and very old. I would still like to maintain my mobility etc...but yeah that seems a good age.

6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?
The body, I believe. I wouldn't want the mind of a 30-year-old when I experienced 60 more years of existence. That'd be like if someone was 40 and still had the mindset of a 14-year-old. A 30-year-old mind would have much less maturity and resolve compared to a 90-year-old.

7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?
I think I will die of either stomach or lung issues. It seems to run in the family.

8. Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common.
We tend to have the same train of thought and have the same point of view on things.
We are both the kind of people who will help a stranger out without a second thought.
We are both generally reserved until you get us around the right people.

9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?
I feel the most grateful for the simple fact that I know how to love and be loved.

10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?
Remove the people who hurt me by never being there.

I dunno, 30 is not that bad to have a mindset for the rest of your life, my older brother acts like he's 20 and he is almost 50, and everybody loves him! haha also how cool would it be if you went clubbing with he grandkids when your 90!

I'm sure he also knows how to be a 50 year old when he needs to be. I dunno if a 30 year old could just act like they're 90. -shrug- Who knows! And clubbing with my grandkids would be kinda hilarious. I almost believe that I'd be the embarrassing grandma. I'm not sure why. And I think I'd try to beat up any guy that tries to get handsy with my grandchildren.

lol a few years ago I went to a huge music festival in the UK, and I'll never forget this old couple dancing in the crowd, they must have been original 70's hippies that never outgrew the phase! and they where incredible and where able to keep up with everybody else! I was kinda envious because i'd like something like that :)

7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?
Well, I know being run over by a vehicle was one, but that almost happened when I was seventeen, so I think that it's gone by. Otherwise, no. There are too many ways to die.

8. Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common.
What partner? :lol:

9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?
There isn't just a single thing. I didn't even think I'd still be around at this age - so for life itself, among other things.

10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?
Taught cooking from childhood. But then my mother herself doesn't know much, so I'm not sure how this goes about being changed.

you missed out on the first question!

yeah vehicles are scary, In Jordan nobody walks, if you need to get anywhere it has to be by car, I sometimes get morbid thoughts about accidents, or even worse, hitting somebody! :S

lol give me three things about what you would like to have in common with your FUTURE partner? I'm forever single and as a joke I was going to write about the things I have in common with my cat lol

actually I was having quite an interesting discussion with an idiot friend of mine, he claimed that we shouldn't bother looking for someone whom we had things in common with, because if that person loved us they would be willing to listen/watch/experience the things you liked anyway, I on the other hand think it a load of crap,how are you supposed to fall in love with someone if you don't have anything in common in the first place :)

Cooking is a good idea, I sometimes think to myself that i should start learning how to cook! or maybe a new language

Oops, I didn't notice it! :lol:

The one where the mind remains young. In both cases, you will need somebody to take care of you, anyway, so there's no win-win option. But if your mind is gone... they'll be taking care of a stranger. There will not even be any comfort for them.

That said, my grandfather had Alzheimer's quite badly but his physical health was incredible, right up to the day he passed away. He was happy. His happiness kept me happy, too. Although admittedly I was not the one involved in taking care of him.

I don't think there are any hard and fast rules on the topic of relationships and having things in common. I know quite a lot of people who are completely different and have little in common, and they get along really well because they get to do new things that they wouldn't have normally done. I think, as they say, "opposites attract", and these people must have found qualities they really like in the other. Perhaps because they wished they had those qualities.

I know how to cook, but I always feel inadequate because I don't know any classic recipes. I make my own up. :/
