O/T Woman 120 years old?

Anonymous

I was reading this on my computer.  Thought it was quite amazing.  I don't care how old she is, but she looks great.  And look what she drinks DAILY (below quote)!

 "A granddaughter-in-law, Hamda Amash, 40, said Mariam is a "healthy, active woman. She walks each day and makes sure she drinks at least one glass of olive oil." She was a pampered second wife who married relatively late, explaining the ages of her children, Hamda Amash said. "Her house is always full of people," she said. "People like to come to her house. She talks to us about the old days. She knows the history since the Turkish times." Turkish control over the Holy Land ended with World War I."

Yep..that's here in our neck of the world. Here in Israel, we say "until 120" when we wish somebody a happy birthday. Guess she actually did that! She doesn't look all that bad either for that age. She was walking and talking!!!

Amazing. She looks very masculine.

I thought of you, Ravdeb, when I read that.  I wondered if you had heard about her.  What a stupid thought.  Of course you have!

Yes, I thought the same thing..she looks very masculine.  Her posture is good and her hands are not all crippled looking from arthritis.  Could this be from drinking olive oil daily!?

As we age I do find we have a few more hairs on our face.

There was a woman in my city who lived to be 112. I got to "meet" her, but she didn't really seem aware of my presence. Her family insisted she still enjoyed life, though.

hooptiedoo, I'm starting to feel less and less aware of people's presence.  LOL  Good ole Arimidex (I choose to blame it on that).

Did anyone else notice that both the oldest woman in the US and the tallest woman both live in shelbyville indiana?  You think there's something in the water there?
