I don't mind yellow ducks however.
I sometimes ask myself the same question.On reflection of my youth by all rights I should be dead.
But now I have this magnificent family & I live for them.

Ha! You called me kiddo! My mother called me kiddo all the time--I like that. (*~*)
Keep on keepin' on Tommyh! XX
I live because for the moment all my parts are performing flawlessly. At one point I may need replacement parts and a general 'overhaul' but for the moment I am a fine oiled machine capable of climbing to the highest star---with a little help from my friends of course. :)

Like Vinny, everything is performing flawlessly...but the expiration date on all my parts are the same. It is a very far off distant date and I have seen it change depending on what I was doing. Quitting smoking helped amazingly. I keep finding ways to boost the expiration date but it seems to get erratic as I age.

One source says it was suggested to Bob Marley that he needed to have his cancerous big toe surgically removed, “Doctors advised him to have the toe amputated, but he refused, saying “Rasta no abide amputation. I and I don’t allow a mon ta be dismantled.” In his case, not only was the cancer not detected early, but reportedly there was a cultural issue involved in his decision-making process.
In 1977, his toe was diagnosed with cancer, and by 1980 the cancer had spread to his liver, stomach, and brain. If he had agreed to have the cancerous toe removed, would it have stopped the cancer from spreading and kept him alive? How long had the toe been cancerous, and did his case match the research paper’s observation that over one year passes before the cancer is diagnosed? If Bob Marley’s cancer had been diagnosed early, and removed before it spread, it is reasonable to believe he could still be alive today, barring other mishaps. A recent research study reported about melanoma, “…but more men die from it because of lack of awareness of skin cancer symptoms, ignoring the symptoms or postponing visits to skin doctors.”
Malignant melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer, occurring most frequently in Caucasians. But the first type of cancer Bob Marley had, Acral lentigious melanoma, is more common in African, Asian, and Middle Eastern populations, according to the same research paper cited above. (A Medscape article says it occurs with the same frequency in African-Americans as Caucasians, and is “extremely aggressive”.)
