Meanwhile, your neighbor who drinks a bottle of whiskey, eats bacon and smokes a pack of cigarette daily lives to be 90.
My grandfather died at 90. World War 1 Veteran. He smoked cigars all day and ended his day with 3 fingers of bourbon. He owned and ran a cattle ranch for 50 years. Liked to eat pig’s knuckles and drink cold pot liquor. Tough old bird.
“Meanwhile, your neighbor who drinks a bottle of whiskey, eats bacon and smokes a pack of cigarette daily lives to be 90.”
And another guy who did the same thing died at 40. There ain’t no rules. It’s a crapshoot for all of us.
My old man was in superb health in his early seventies. Walked three miles a day and did a couple hours of weights. Then lung cancer came and destroyed him.
That was my father in-law........
Sounds like Winston Churchill. And he lived to be 90.
I remember reading about a study of centegenarians, and they found that all the stuff they tell you to do was not the common denominator. The common denominator was the ability to adapt and stay happy.
I also remember reading recently a headline that people who take lots of vitamins are more likely to die earlier. I’m wondering how much that has to do with the chalky substance they make capsules out of. It’s interesting though.
LOL !!! My Mom-Mom (Paternal Grandmother) lived to 103, out living all 3 of Her Sons. She drank a least 1 Bloody Mary a day, smoked unfiltered Camel cigs, ate bacon and eggs pretty regularly and Her hamburger was tossed into a smoking hot pan grab the spatula and flip the burger, grab a plate and put the burger on the plate.
Being born in 1901 She survived and saw a lot of stuff. WWI, Great Depression, WWII, Korean War, JFK wetworks,Viet Nam, GWI and GWII, Grand Children and Great Grandchildren, etc. She didn’t have any cognitive problems until the last couple of years.
I know that guy!!!
