I AM NOT THAT OLD DAMMIT!

Ok Grandpa, settle down. Your applesauce is going to be here soon and we can go out later so you can yell at the squirrels.

[–] • 2 pts

Talking to the squirrels is normal.

It's when they talk back there is some concern.

[–] • 1 pt

Talking, yes. Yelling, no. The squirrels just get mad when you do that, and trust me - you do not want the squirrels to be mad at you.

I like squirrels. That’s why I destroy all the cats that I find

No. We've talked about this. You get applesauce. You eat the applesauce. That's all you get.

Yup - and when I met her, back in the 90's, she had clear skin - translucent skin - like plastic - you could see inside her arms.

She was over 100 then, and still healthy and sharp. Born in the late 1800's.

Her secret? A glass of whiskey every day at tea time.

I don't know if there is a psyop or some weird shit but I swear every very old person I have ever heard of the really old or longest ever almost always

Had whisky a day! Or at night even an old lady! What the fuck I have heard this many many times and some smoked

Then you on here mention a 100 year old and bam she drank once a day!

There has got to be something to it.

Good for the digestion perhaps.

If they were alive in the 1800s they would be a minimum of 122 so you’re full of shit

Gut biome is being investigated mo4e and more maybe alchol keeps it in balance? Kinda like turpentine was a medicine until big pharma started getting rid of all the old medicine knowlege

Same with my great grandmother. Her skin was like paper. She was born in the late 1800's. Her and my grandfather where married at 16 in 1900 and they where married for over 75 years. They where hard working farmers and their house had no plumbing they had a out house. They did have electric but it was added in the 50's and it was ran outside their walls on insulators. Doubt you could get away with that nowdays.

My 100 year old neighbor when I was a kid in the 80s.

My great grandmother. She was 97 and died in the late '80s.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

Yeah. My great grandma and land lords when I was a kid. All passed many years ago.

[–] • 0 pt

Any good stories?

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

I was extremely young and never got a chance to really talk with them. I do know the landlords first "house" was an old chicken coop. The man was in WWI.

I do remember a bit about my great grandma raising my grandma during the depression. They were dirt poor.

Same, very young me meeting gramma's friends that were born in the 1800s. All of them gone now.

One of my relatives born in 98 I think. I only met him twice as a small child before he passed. During those times, he told me many stories about my great, great, great, grandfather during the civil war. He never told me any of his own stories.

My grandfather was born in Sweden in 1895 - he served in WWI and became a US citizen in 1916 when he joined the Army - He passed in 1979 when I was 26.

I tend to think of the WWII vets and others of that generation that I knew. I got to know Bobbi Trout when I was a teen. First person I remember being able to look up in a book.

My grandma was born in 1896 and she outlived all her kids and brothers. Died in 2003.
