Good going, take your well earned rest. RIP.

Ugh, I hope I'm out of this cesspool existence by 45. 117 would be like hell on Earth.

Speak for yourself sir, I plan to live forever.

I would be happy to live till age 101.
I am going to do a hand eye coordination exercise starting at age of 80.

This is very meaningful and special to me as we just celebrated my beloved Grandmother's 101st birthday this past weekend! She is the most Inspirational, loving, kind and influential person I have ever known! She is very blessed and so am I and all who's lives she had touched....

TX, I am always amazed when you share pics (not often) of your grandmother, she looks great! Hope you got those genes from her...

Thank you so much for those kind words! I can not begin to even verbalize the respect, affection and love I have for this Angel of a woman. So much knowledge, history and wisdom. I am in the process of writing a book about her story...
