I would say that, all in all, I've had a better life than both JFK and his son, although they're high points were certainly higher than mine.....I'm in my seventies. Old age has proven to be a surprisingly pleasant experience. I was born into a world where women still darned socks. Just remembering how much life sucked when I was younger and how comfortable it is now gives me intense satisfaction.......I wonder who was the last woman in America to darn a sock and if she is still alive.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837540030934495651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-53141604477160521952016-11-30T06:13:20.524-05:002016-11-30T06:13:20.524-05:00Any butter beer and butter burgers?

Not good genetics and other assorted good luck. That's what the media thinks we are interested in with the very old: What's in this story for us? What personal gain is to be derived from this oldster's story? Today's miracle age-defying food is eggs. The next one will subsist on nuts and berries. (You realize that the next story of the oldest person in the world will mean this nice lady has passed.) I fondly remember the old guy in Japan who ate meat every day and smoked heroically (cutting back to 1 pack a day at age 100).Amartelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636450794507517534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-64663514877683677392016-11-29T14:19:19.887-05:002016-11-29T14:19:19.887-05:00How is that an unbalanced diet?
