Must have been even more challenging than advertising during recession. Me, I'm counting on wonder drugs to keep us spry through our centennial years. <br /><br />@Anonymous Love the image of newborn's head in a tea cup. What a story. <br /><br />@Howie Great way to look at things.

My condolences. But in reality both your Aunt and Uncle are celebrations of life vs mourning of death. They came, they saw, the kicked ass. Too few of us can say that.Howiehttp://www.twitter.com/skypulsemedianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828158097601815711.post-87143507933206438112010-05-17T18:16:13.740-04:002010-05-17T18:16:13.740-04:00Hel..My mom's mom lived to be 97...she was bor...Hel..My mom's mom lived to be 97...she was born the day before Thanksgiving and was premature. The Dr left the house and told the family if she lived til morning she would make it . They placed her on the opened oven door in the turkey roaster ( no turkey that year ) to keep her warm . She often reminded us her head fit in a tea cup ! Well she made it ...and after 97 years she died peacefully in her sleep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828158097601815711.post-18009510650527536332010-05-17T16:25:51.401-04:002010-05-17T16:25:51.401-04:00Well, not so far...altho' I'd like to take...Well, not so far...altho' I'd like to take my sense of humor! <br /><br />Cool story. long lived relatives gives you a pretty good shot at the same. Are you prepared? I have similar stories, similar relatives & all quite long-lived on Dad's side. Southern Illinois farmers from Massac County. Dad got into advtsg during the Depression, working for Florsheim in Chicago. His mother lived to be 100 + 3 mos. He made it to 98. I just don't think I want to be that old. It is daunting. Course, it's not our choice is it? Or, is it?California Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582691517303132274noreply@blogger.com
