104 today

Just returned from next door after sharing some of my malt with Celia next door who is 104 today...!
Can you imagine that? 104 years old and still batting on.
Can you imagine the history she has seen?
Tell you what... I`m glad I never entered a drinking contest with her.
I would be out in the first round.

 

That's a good age !
In my job i visit quite a lot of folks in their early to mid 90's which is good going too !
If you start chatting to them a lot of them will tell you they drink a fair bit of alcohol - so maybe it's better for us than we're led to believe :D

 

A Happy Birthday to Celia.

1907, a hell of a year to have been born, the maiden voyages of the Lucitania and the Mauritania.

The Birth of modern electronics (invention of the Triode)

And the first commercial radio transmissions across the Atlantic.

 

What a Grand Lady,many congratulations to her....

 

Thats what comes with experience.
104 and can still drink the Young-un's under the table.

Good going Celia. Lets hear about the repeat match next year

 

Hi Louise D. I've been on the wagon for @6 months . I was asked yesterday by a friend,
"Do you miss it ", "Do you feel any different"!!. Do i miss it ,YES, i cannot sleep !.
Do i feel any different , YES, i feel like a Burst Bag!!!.:gaagh:.

 

You are doing very well there Music

I've only managed a month off in the past year.

 

Hi Ziggy. I am Not Blowing My Own Trumpet,But At The Same Time As I (Went Dry) I Started To Hand Roll My Cigarettes . I Hated It At First But I Persevered and now i quite enjoy them.:thumb:. Question-- Could You Recommend Any Good Monasteries :WINK1:.

 

I am hand rolling one as I type, not enough fingers. I am in the same boat there, didn't like it at first, but now enjoy the ritual.

There is a Religious retreat along the Jurassic Cost that I often wonder about, but I bet its just about "workshops" & stuff.

Maybe GC ought to have its own Monastic Gardens, a place for us all to chill & grow veg.:pickflower:

 

Someone elderly (88 yrs) that i visit quite frequently drinks a litre of whiskey each day.
He went into hospital (unrelated incident) recently and it was discovered that he had a tumour, in his bladder, the size of a golf ball.
It was operated on and he's back at home but ....... he now can't stand the flavour of whiskey anymore !
(The whiskey was probably a painkiller for him)

Isn't the human body amazing !
