I’ve received an incredible gift It has given my heart such a lift But the date that I see Is what now concerns me – It’s the date I no longer exist!!! Today I was gifted a 'lifetime' premium membership but it is somewhat disconcerting to see it ends on 3/20/2077. I hope TPS aren't psychic!!!! My mother's great great aunt lived to 111 and 121 days and was in the Guinness book of records - I hope I am around a long long time to make full use of this incredible gift. 14th October 2016

Well life expectancy is being extended every year by amazing new medical research, so in calculating that is 66 years from now from the end of your membership then add that to your unknown age and there you have it - easy peasy, you might need an extension to the membership - LOL By the way you really are deserving of this gift - congratulations Nice thank you poem by the way! Regards, Mark

This gift has already given your inspiration a lift, Jan:) I'm still wondering why the month quoted is March, and not October...or January! Hugs // paul

March 20th is when my existing PM would have expired so I assume the date goes up to then. I just hope I am around for many years to make full use of it:-) :-) hugs
