Yes, for most folks I’ve known or seen, the 90s are pretty rough. Occasionally, there’s some exception. Knew a guy in his 90s who was still traveling. Used to go over the France, rent a car, etc. Incredible physical health. By 96 or so, the mind was starting to go... a la Joe Biden.

I remember her from the campaign with Obongo. She was a tough old bird then. She demanded respect.

She was at the funeral and didn’t even need any assistance. She clearly ate right and probably exercised regularly. I do not want to live that long mainly for financial reasons. Now she was extremely wealthy so that was not an issue. Me, I’m good till 80 and then the pension will be it probably. Not counting on social security and investments are good till then. I’m thinking about the costs of things will be prohibited in 30 years.

Maybe not even news, much less Breaking News.

Aww...too bad he won’t be seeing her. I highly doubt she’ll be going to hell.

She needs weed and Amazon Prime Video.

Her dying wish was for President Trump to have a second term. Now let’s make it happen for her!

Didn’t know he had a live mother!

McCain had a mother? I thought he was spawned by some demon somewhere.

"108 is a deep run."

Obviously she wasn't an adulterous narcissist like her son, or an aldulteress druggie like her daughter-in-law.

I feel sorry for her having to bury a child. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Saying that, she lived a very long life, which many people don't get to do. I hope she feels she made the most of it, and had some happiness along the way. She sure outlived everyone in my family. If I make it to 74 next year, I'll have lived as long as my oldest sibling, who lived the longest in my immediate family.

Once you hit the high nineties, the chances of living another year are actually VERY good. Until you hit 105-6.

Everybody seems to be dying lately.

First Eddie Van Halen, now this.

Can’t be much left of Juan.

He was reincarnated into the body of Mitt Romney.

Wow. She lived more years than Haydn wrote symphonies.

That was a neat video about Mr. Overton. He died a few years after the video was made, so he must have made it to 112.

My current goal is 100. If...the money lasts LOL.
Burned 80 candles this year, and have no health issues so far, knock on wood.

I can relate to “friends are gone”. I reached 80 this year, and my friends are all gone. And it is difficult to make new friends at 80 since the activities are limited. No more college, no more jobs, no more private golf club, all those places were great for making friends.
