If you get a new name and birthday, will you also become a different astrological sign? How will that affect you?

Which means one would not match the charaterists of the new birth date. Can you see what I mean by saying that faking ones death is lying and then having to remember those lies I just wouldn't be able to do that. I refuse to lie because of other people perceptions of death.

I already lie about my birthdate anyway.

So are you a Capricorn Randall?
Would you remember the lies and how would you explain yourself when people start questioning you?

Be cryptic. You don't have to answer any question if you don't want to.

Lindaland would become even more valuable to you as the only place in the world that you could be honest

As I said when I first joined, you would have to make a password entry forum for serious immortalists.

It wouldn't need a name--just a small pic of an orange.

A new dailect would probably develope as people look for ways to say the things that can't be said openly

In terms of secrecy and stealth, you could say longevity will be the new pornography

I'm determined to make it to 90 and be fit, healthy and alert!!!

I still want to have all my teeth and a Siamese.

I hope I'm comfortable in a little home, can cook my own meals, and have a few close friends (probably be younger than me).

I ought to have 10857 friends on facebook by then, too

this seems as good a place as any to share this:

The couple were 85 years old and had been married for sixty years. Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because they watched their pennies.

Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely due to the wife's insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the last decade.
One day, their good health didn't help when they went on a rare vacation and their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven.

They reached the pearly gates, and St.. Peter escorted them inside. He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silks, with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master bath. A maid could be seen hanging their favourite clothes in the closet.
They gasped in astonishment when he said, 'Welcome to Heaven. This will be your home now.'

The old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. 'Why, nothing,' Peter replied, 'remember, this is your reward in Heaven.'
The old man looked out the window and right there he saw a championship golf course, finer and more beautiful than any ever built on Earth..
'What are the greens fees?,' grumbled the old man.
'This is heaven,' St. Peter replied. 'You can play for free, every day.'

Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch, with every imaginable cuisine laid out before them, from seafood to steaks to exotic deserts, free flowing beverages.
'Don't even ask,' said St. Peter to the man. This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy.'
The old man looked around and glanced nervously at his wife.
'Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods and the decaffeinated tea?,' he asked.
That's the best part,' St. Peter replied. 'You can eat and drink as much as you like of whatever you like and you will never get fat or sick.
This is Heaven!'

The old man pushed, 'No gym to work out at?'
'Not unless you want to,' was the answer.
'No testing my sugar or blood pressure or...'
'Never again. All you do here is enjoy yourself.'

The old man glared at his wife and said, 'You and your f....ing bran Flakes. We could have been here ten years ago!'

and i would venture that the reason immortality has not caught on is because, like health in old age, it seems like too much hard work to people who believe that heaven will be everything they ever wanted without having to work at it!!

Well, this is the great paradox: those people who try to be worthy of heaven would never be able to relax enough to enjoy it when they finally get there. Only the unworthy (sinner) could ever appreciate heaven.

At base, we are trying to be God. What people forget about God, is not so much that He is good and omnipotent, but that He is INVISIBLE.
