I read an article where she talked about her diet and it was pretty much three eggs some toast and some chicken each day.

Yep, two raw. Every day.
And she kicked out her abusive husband in 1938. |

I always thought my grandpa died young - I was born in '76 and he died sometime in the late 60s. I never understood as a young kid - but he was born in 1894 and left his home country just before the outbreak of WWI and came to the states.

Bullshit. Plenty of Democrat voters on the books from the 1800's.

I always liked hearing my Grandma and Grandpa talk about living through the dust bowl and the great depression. They were basically so poor anyways, it wasn't even a change for them. They felt lucky they really had nothing to lose.
Grandpa would sleep in the yard to "cool off" and they'd put wet towels in the windows for air conditioning since they had no electricity. Good times! Quote HistoryQuoted:

She was born in the late 1800s and died in the mid 1980s. From dirt roads, horses and telegraphs to interstates, air and space travel, computers etc. Being born in the early 70s, it seems like everything that has become commonplace in my lifetime is an evolution of existing tech rather then being entirely new ground. Even really cool stuff like the internet and smartphones are evolutionary movements rather then revolutionary. Shit, we had BBSes and computers in the 80s. Still no flying cars, vacations on the moon, etc.

My grandmother passed a few months ago, she was 104. The stories of her childhood, and the progress in just her lifetime, are amazing. It will be interesting to see if we have that same leap of technology in the next 100 years. I am going to say no.
Think of it this way. The Romans, the Egyptians, the Greeks, and the Chinese all had their shit together for the most part 2000 years ago. Pompeii, for instance, which I have visited, had parks, piped in water, streets, sidewalks, stores, shops. So what the fuck happened? Based on our leaps in the last hundred years, we should have had flying cars by now? Politics and religion happened. Entire civilizations were wiped out in the name of Islam and Catholicism. Politics and fear of the populace becoming "too smart for their own good" created a log jam of technology. And that shit is starting all over again. I see this happening happening sooner than later. The stupid people in this world are becoming the dominant portion of the population. Fucking sheep. The movie "Idiocracy" is coming true. Dumbasses will rule. I see cities in America as the fall of our society, they are sucking this nation dry of resources, both in morality and monetarily. I'll just hang out behind my ammo fort when the SHTF. Hopefully I will have enough bottled water and canned ravioli to last. |

Yeah, it was the last known person born in the 1800's. I'm sure that that there are members of the Howard family out there living their lives secretly far past 117. Quote HistoryQuoted:

My grandmother was born in 1881. Died when I was 14. As an infant, she very well could have had some interaction with an elderly person who had been born in the 1700s.
Strange to think about.......... |

G, Grandfather was born in 1881 in the Sioux Nations....he was an Oglala Lakota, apparently a close friend of Spotted Bear, he lived into the mid 70's....He loved hanging out with his grandkids, and loved his Johnny Walker.

My maternal grandmother was born Jan 1, 1899 in Whiteside Co, IL. She would comment about living in three centuries & how rare it would be if she made it. She didn't. Passed in, I think, 1978. My grandfather, her husband, was born in 1890, in Floyd Co VA & they had been married for 58 years, if I remember the dates correctly. He passed in 1976.
So much, so many things have happened in the last 40 years it's sometimes hard to even imagine just that! |
