Then I meet patients who are 60 who look like they are 90. Yes same. I met the then oldest man of Britain in 2011 aged 109 but he functioned as a 84 year old. But other care home residents there were only in their 70s but seemed more like centenarians Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Hemlock 749 Posted December 13 On NBC’s Nightly News tonight, discussing his neighbors rescuing him from wild fires.

The top question I have from meeting anyone that age is why have you been able to live that long? He believed it was thanks to a lot of help from upstairs in his own words.

A lesson there. The shock could kill him...lol. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But other care home residents there were only in their 70s but seemed more like centenarians My great grandfather lived to be 97. Last Christmas eve, he knew he was going to die the next day and he walked out and said goodbye to all the nurses and other care home residents before going to bed. 10am Christmas Day he died after listening to his favourite music and having the bible read to him. Its amazing how someone so old can still be mobile until the very end, although DvD is active - he could prove as a good wildcard (although IMO he doesn't deserve no.2 spot). Nobody saw Betty White going so suddenly either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
