Tara - you COULD have another 20 years! - 100 is not an extraordinary age nowadays, especially for women.

And with modern medical techniques, you could even have a baby that would be full grown before you went!

Well, I have heart disease, kidney disease and diabetes. I think that reduces my chances of living to 100, in spite of feeling pretty good right now.

I read an article that said if a person reaches 80 and has no major medical issues, the odds are good that you will live to be 100. 100 year olds are a group that are expanding faster than expected. But give up on the baby idea!
