having a hobby and purpose helps you live longer

Life is likely to last longer if it has a purpose and seems worthwhile, new research suggests.

Scientists found that pensioners with the greatest sense of well-being were 30% less likely to die within a decade than those who were least satisfied.

Researchers measured "eudemonic well-being" - an emotional state that relates to feeling in control, doing something you think is worthwhile, and having a purpose in life - in 9,000 English people with an average age of 65.

Over the next eight-and-a-half years, 9% of people in the highest well-being category died, compared with 29% in the lowest.

Taking into account a range of factors that could influence health and life-satisfaction, participants with the highest levels of eudemonic well-being were 30% less likely to die.

On average, they lived two years longer than those in the lowest well-being group.

Study leader Professor Andrew Steptoe, director of University College London's Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care, said: "These analyses show that the meaningfulness and sense of purpose that older people have in their lives are also related to survival.

"We cannot be sure that higher well-being necessarily causes lower risk of death, since the relationship may not be causal. But the findings raise the intriguing possibility that increasing well-being could help to improve physical health.

Suprisingly I can find a pawn shop that sell's record players. Wore my last needle out.

You know you're old when you know what it means to put a nickle or quarter wrapped in rubberband on top to avoid the scratch.

Did that to my Peter Frampton (do you feel..like we do..) haha!

No that's different. I COULD beat GGG. He's a pussy who can't fight when pressured. I would pressure the living communist shit out of his ass. He can't hit me, I would stand at an angle, duck under the punches then break his ribs all down one side.

As an African-American I can't keep up with the lingo...at all.

My nephew came up to me this past weekend and said "Uncle, can I chop it up with you?"

And I said "Chop it up? Nephew, you dealin' cocaine and want me to chop it up for the sale?"

fortunately my cousin was there who is in his 30's and said, "naw man, thats the phrase for can we talk."

So I said "Oh, you mean you wanna rap to me about something, well lets rap a taste."

My nephew said, "Rap, Oh, thats what you old guys mean for flowin" Naw I don't wanna flow..I leave that for Lil Wayne and 'fifty..."

My cousin looked at my nephew and said "Naw man thats the phrase for... so you wanna talk about something."

Nephew: "yeah, Unc...I'm thinking about gettin a whip"

"I replied, "Whip? what you gotta kinky bitch into some satanic shit, betta' leave them kinda hoes alone!"

Cousin replied, Naw cuz, he means a car.
I replied "Oh a you mean a ride?"

My nephew said, "Well..yeah thats what a whip is for..to ride around.."
Me: In your ride, right?"
Nephew "What"


When he told me he wanted a car (whip) and I saw a picture of it, I really told my age and I said:
"Oh yeah, that's fly"

Nephew: "Fly? naw Uncle... it aint no space ship, it's a whip."

Thank goodness my cousin was young enough to know his lingo and old enough to remember mines. He was like a translator for two relatives living on the same planet, but different worlds
