Reply #21: Oh for crying out loud [View All]

my grandmother lived to be 103 years old. I am not kidding. She only was put into a managed care facility at the age of 102!! up until then, she got along quite nicely, althoug her daughter, my aunt, did take her in and watch over for many years.

And she smoked cigarettes too!! And was in the habit of having a "cocktail" every night, which in those times meant a "highball" or a shot or two of whiskey put into some gingerale or some other mixer.

She was NOT on any medications either and thought it was funny when she had to go to the emergency room when she "felt dizzy"

She was a beautiful woman who came here from the County Cork, Ireland as a young, eighteen year old, attractive and intelligent woman.

She was so beatiful and I think that many of us have the same sort of a story to tell.
