Just by living a good life and enjoying it, he was an amazing man.

That is my goal, as well.

May God allow us both to make it there.

Pretty amazing. My dear grandmother lived to be 100 and 8 months, and was bed-ridden, skin over bones. God bless her.

I have the same energy today as I had at 65. I mow my entire mid-sized lawn with a push mower without stopping. Just finished a landscaping project to install 15” wide pebble rock covered edging around the 1600 SF house. This is new house built 15 months ago and the builder did not install roof gutters on any houses here. I thought the water falling from roof would cause erosion, so the pebbles break the falling water nicely. I used no dig edging held down by 8” long nylon spikes. I am 80 years young. My secret of good health is 30 minutes treadmill 6 times every week.

Well unfortunately the body does loose its fat content and collagen as we age, plus muscles tend to shrink, so everything gets rather lean, and if your're at normal weight it shows up lean all the more. Heavy people fair better in that respect. At 100 for sure she had great long run and likely wouldn't have wanted to be bed-ridden, but it's true for some the person sorta gets stuck in a cage (body) that won't let them function as their mind would dictate otherwise.

So if you don’t have a tread mill then walking 30 minutes 6 days a week would do likewise I’ll assume.

Not sure what your paced at but one can adjust and increase to keep the heart rate where you want I suspect.

That’s some longevity. Impressive for sure.

Beyond that, why should I be interested?

108–that’s old! It’s a good thing her sh*tty son didn’t live that long, he would have clung to his Senate seat until he took his final McNasty breath.

Extreme longevity.
Also pointing out that the left vilified
her son but changed to admiration
when his anti Trump feelings came out.
They pointed out “how mean Trump was
to him, despite being a war hero”.

My Grandma (father’s mother) lived to be 98. She was rock solid up until about 96. She was religious about her 30 minute morning walk, 30 minute afternoon walk, tending her small garden, being social, and “stay off the damn couch”.

She had a fall and broke her hip at 96 and never quite recovered. She was a force of Nature her entire life. She passed 10 years ago and is legend in the family. It seems everything is still measured up to her.
