Grand Parade of the Oldies From 114 to 100'ds.

I believe there are many runners-up. Our folks and grand parents now live to more than 100'ds. During the early 60's and 70's they only live up to between 50 and the most 70's.

I have a mother-in-law Irish-English heritage, now at 100 years and 2 months exactly today. She lives in her own home. I hired her a full time Caregiver. She has no pain just old, so she is comfortable. I think many more are like her.

Some of the reasons are DNA'S , and our medical and pharmaceutical advanced development. Though Japanese live longer than that. Why? Due to their diet and lifestyle.

I am a Christian, and God holds our fate when to come home.

Nebraska Woman Turns 114 Years Old, Claims Title of ‘Oldest Living American’

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS May 6, 2021 Updated: May 6, 2021

A 114-year-old Nebraska woman who has taken the title of America’s oldest living person says that what she wants most is to eat with her friend after a year of p******c restrictions.

Thelma Sutcliffe, of Omaha, became the nation’s oldest living person and seventh-oldest in the world on April 17 when Hester Ford, a 115-year-old woman, died in North Carolina, according to the Gerontology Research Group.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that Sutcliffe was born on Oct. 1, 1906. Her longtime friend, Luella “Lou” Mason, said she is happy that the senior living center where Sutcliffe lives is locked down, but “Thelma is as determined as ever to do what she wants to do.”

Until visitors are allowed in the dining room, Thelma is taking all her meals in her room. Mason, who has power of attorney over Sutcliffe, calls the senior living center 24 hours ahead of time to schedule visits.

“She asks me every time I visit, ‘Are you going to eat with me today?’” Mason recalled. “It breaks my heart that I can’t.”

Sutcliffe’s hearing and sight are fading, Mason said, but her mind is still “very sharp.”

Sutcliffe received her CCP (Chinese C*******t Party) v***s, commonly known as the novel c****av***s, shots at the earliest opportunity, but testing for the CCP v***s was a nonstarter.

Mason said Sutcliffe looked at the swab and said, “You’re not going to be sticking that thing up my nose. You can tell Lou to stick it up hers.”
