OT: John McCain's Mom passes at age… 108

[Darrell KSR]

I am not sure I knew she was still living.

One hundred and eight years.

More than a century. Almost a full decade more than a century.

OK, so I had to look it up...as of today, Hester Ford is the oldest living American, from South Carolina. She is 115 years old. She is 13 days older than another living 115-year old, Iris Westman from North Dakota.

Other supercentarians still living, and where they live now

Hester Ford, 115 years, 59 days, North Carolina
Iris Westman, 115 years, 46 days, North Dakota
Minnie Whicker, 114 years, 81 days, California
Thelma Sutcliffe, 114 years, 12 days, Nebraska
Beulah Meloche, 113 years, 313 days, New York
Ellen Goodwill, 113 years, 254 days, Michigan

All Ladies but one, guys just don't live as long.

All Ladies but one, guys just don't live as long.

One day Mrs. BEvans was hectoring me (OK, that might be a little strong, but she had some strong points of view on the subject) about how to put glasses in the cabinet "the right way." (Apparently my way is not "the right way.")

I told her that one day everybody will say, "Gee, I don't know why he died so young." She was not amused.

I have a grandma that is 96 and doing well. Still lives by herself and is tech savvy.

Sent from my LM-X210APM using TapatalkThat's tremendous. Can I call her the next time I have a computer problem? I'm sure you, Pedro, and CitizenBBN could use the break.

I'm doing some legal work right now for a 98 and a half year old young lady. Mentally sharper than I am. Could probably do all that I'm doing and then some.

Her eyesight is failing, but otherwise in excellent physical shape.

You know why married men die before their wives?

B/c they want to.
