i have a neighbor who is 105
and still going strong

she told me today that both
her parents lived well into their 90's

i asked when her father was born
and she said 1863

i don't know why but that floored me
my neighbor's father was born 146 years ago

i love really old people

any very old people in your life?

My grandfather was born in 1894. Not quite the Civil War, but it was a long time ago. He's dead now, of course.

Skiing didn't become popular until AFTER WW II. Interesting story, actually. But I'm not going to tell you.

Americans who were trained to ski in combat came home and used the GI bill to open ski resorts. (http://www.hcn.org/issues/367/17617)

I'm pretty sure my neighbor was alive during the Vietnam War, so that's something.

:furious:

My grandfather was born in 1913 and the old prick is still going strong.

Healthy as an ox mentally and physically.

I think he's going to be one of those bastards that lives to be 110.

My grandma was born in 1920, and I swear that she has fewer aches and pains than I do at 25.
