It's a real good story about a 100-year-old bartender. He's still going, and driving himself to work, and his speech is,

For example: What's Ray's strategy for living to 100?

“My secret,” he told us, “is waking up every day.”

imagine being witness to a driver of rigs for just the past 30 years.
as if to be ageless. Not thought about much..that is about a third of internal combustion and cars history.

mind boggling. imagine describing each and every mile with a sentence..and there is more than 3.5 million of them...

a simple life is a long one.
the abyss of a face gone speechless..it has a long time in the unknown to unravel.
There is a godly people..exceeding all others, age has nothing to do with a long life.

That's humongus Barry, that's huge. I'm not sure about a really "long" life, time-wise.

My mom's still "alive," way over 80, but she doesn't know who she is, doesn't know who anybody else is, either. She keeps trying to introduce my sister to her husband, every day (she lives with them). They think it's cute, entertaining.

No, there's a time when...no. No. But nobody can choose how long to live naturally, I guess.

I gotta say Barry is a little too esoteric for me but he's interesting, for sure! Or maybe I'm a bit too "slow" to get much of what he says.

As far as Ray the Bartender goes - I say "Right On, Dude!" I don't feel the need to work to stay young and in fact I wonder how I ever had the time to spend 10 hours/day there (I worked 4-10's most of my work life). But it's clearly working for Ray and I'm just disappointed I missed out on the $19.11 special. Sounds yummy!

When Beagle whips out the decoder ring, it's an awesome thing. Language delivered to the masses.

At my grandmother's 100th birthday party (she is 106 now and still going strong) my oldest cousin, Jeff, asked her what was the key to living a long life?

Without hesitating, my grandmother quipped, "Not dying."

Yep. It was as simple as that.

Yep. Hey Ron, at her 100th birthday party, did they let her lean?

WHEN I'M 100, IF I LEAN A LITTLE ... LET ME!

The family wheeled Grandma out on the lawn, in her wheelchair, where the
activities for her 100th birthday were taking place. Grandma couldn't
speak very well, but she would write notes when she needed to
communicate.

After a short time out on the lawn, Grandma started leaning off to the
right, so some family members grabbed her, straightened her up, and
stuffed pillows on her right.

A short time later, she started leaning off to her left, so again the
family grabbed her and stuffed pillows on her left.

Soon she started leaning forward, so the family members again grabbed
her, then tied a pillowcase around her waist to hold her up.

A nephew who arrived late came up to Grandma and said, "Hi, Grandma,
you're looking good! How are they treating you?"

Grandma took out her little notepad and slowly wrote a note to the
nephew... "They won't let me fart."

That just now soaked in. That's every bit how slow I am. Gosh a mighty, that's funny as hell!
