[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 3656507, member: 27284"] My Great Grandmother lived to the age of 109. Really 109, it's verified, not just a family lore, and she even has a book written about her life and times available on Amazon. The cool thing is she was born in 1866 and during her lifetime she saw the coming of good roads, highways, radio then tv, automobiles and planes then jet planes and spacecraft, and a man walk on the moon. She lived from cooking on a wood stove to eventually having a microwave oven. Isn't that amazing? Just think of what she lived through, I don't think any other person will live through the technological advances she did. And not to mention from pretty much nonexistent medical care where people died often and easily from what is now, at the year of her passing, to much better medical care. Measles mumps chicken pox, polio, TB, etc and the vaccines that took care of those things. From no electricity or utilities to what we have now, safe and useful including clean safe water, etc. [/QUOTE]
