My mother's aunt lived to 104. My mother's sister and my aunt lived to 92 and her brother lived to 90 and died the same day Frank Sinatra did, and many people who knew my uncle in California died asked me if my uncle was Frank! 😃
My grandpa on my dads side lived to be almost 102. He wore long sleeves all year round and gardened and read the paper and mail to my grandma every day. It was dementia that killed him. She died just a very few years after that at age 77 from cancer that came from everywhere. And yes that’s the correct age difference.
Not a relative, but at least an honorary family member. My cat, Milo, turned 100 in cat years (he's 15, almost 16) last year.
I did have an ancestor who lied about turning 100 in 1900. He got himself a newspaper story, and probably some free food and booze. He was actually 98 (and didn't make it to 100).
Prior generations, yes. Great-grandmother and great-great grandmother both almost to 100, despite the dust bowl and migrant work. Everyone else got bad genes or bad habits, or both like me!
My great aunt almost made it to 100 and had a strong whiskey or two every night. When family members told her nurse to make them weaker, the first one she got like that she gave right back and said "now, you go make this drink right"! 😂🤣 funny thing is my gramma, her sister, never touched a drop of alcohol and died much earlier.
Pop's 97. Most lived into their mid to late nineties and most smoked and drank. Hey, when you're Irish/Puerto Rican/Bajan and one side owns a rum distillery and the other a liquor store, it is what we do!
Yep. Great Uncle lived to 106. Smoked and drank. Quit smoking when he developed emphysema in his 80s, did exercises for it, remained healthy to the end when he just dropped.
I asked a doctor friend if men's balls hang a lot farther as they age. He didn't really give a precise answer. Maybe if you keep them supported they'll stay higher like boobs.
Ladies, never trust an atom. They make up everything.
ReplyDelete97 is the oldest I'm aware of.

ReplyDeleteHad a great aunt live to 102, but other than that people passed in their 80s or 90s.
ReplyDeleteClose. My one grandfather died at 96 and my grandmother is still alive and very healthy at 94.

ReplyDeletePfft. No. I’m surprised I’m still alive, actually.

ReplyDeleteAll of them. Strong hillbilly blood.
ReplyDeleteNot that I know of. I sure hope I don't last that long. Ech.
ReplyDeleteWhat age do your balls hang to the floor ? Sorry for the imagery but I wanna make it that far...
ReplyDeleteI asked a doctor friend if men's balls hang a lot farther as they age. He didn't really give a precise answer. Maybe if you keep them supported they'll stay higher like boobs.
DeleteMy grandfather was 101...I remember him yelling me about the first time he saw an automobile...Can you imagine that? We take so much for granted...
ReplyDelete*telling (not yelling)
