Ever notice that these articles about really old people always include the reasons they give for getting so old? And that the reasons are always something that flies in the face of the dietary advice of all the “experts”? Usually these old guys and lasies smoke cigars and drink whiskey. LOL!
So much for the USDA guidelines on undercooked eggs.
3 of my paternal grandparents made it into their late 90’s. All 3 smoked into their mid 90’s. One until her death. My other gramdpa didn’t get past his 40’s due to sepsis. I never met him.
Being single? Does that mean the husband she did not have would have killed her if she had one?
My ex wife will live to be at least one day older than me given that here only reason for living is to make me miserable. It’s too late now, but had I shot here when I first wanted, I’d have been out by now.
“She’s not the only person whose life touched three centuries but she may be the only person alive whose life has touched three centuries.”

Heh. People who live a long time never know why they do.
But it’s nice to listen to them anyway.

Before that, salmonella hadn't found its way up the fallopian tubes of chickens, and the window of opportunity for infection was fairly small. Probably killed any errant little buggers with wine and acidic foods, too.
Last I heard, in the USA, 1/20,000 eggs carries the bacteria. US Big Egg has managed to avoid paying the roughly $0.05/CHICKEN vaccination expense, and a chicken can lay just over 200 eggs.

Raw eggs, huh? That means there will be a Centennial Rocky in a few decades.
