Dear Dr. Gott, I am 62 years old with no health issues. I smoke cigarettes and drink 6 stiff ones a day. I can out work most thirty year olds, but I do have a weakness. If I were to live to 95, I would be a burden on my family, running out of money and wearing Depends. I chose to "juice" 4-5 times a week. Maybe this is proof I'm not ready to go and brings into question my sincerity. People make choices and I choose to continue my life style. 76 would be a good time to go. Are you aware that there was a peak in deaths before the government let the "death tax" (estate tax) come back into effect! Seems other people were making similar choices!

By the way, I eat meat at all meals that I don't "juice."

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Aries

The behaviour of somebody around you (most probably your partner or family member) may be rather irrational today. Alternatively, a surprise involving one of these people is possible. Try to keep your domestic plans reasonably flexible to cover all possible outcomes. The focus is on improving your relationship with your partner or with friends today. Any outings should go very smoothly.
