would u live up to 100 yrs old?

meyag2 · 05-18-2008, 02:30 PM

My mom's friend, her neighbor, she's amazing, I couldn't believe she's 100 yrs old, she still walk without crutches, walker or wheelchair.

Would u live up to 100 yrs old?
(As for me, I don't think so).

Hey, I had never heard about deaf who's 100 yrs old? (Make me wonder). You know that would be interesting for first deaf history for someone who's 100 yrs old and deaf but I don't see nothing, anyone know who's 100 and deaf?.

Brian · 05-18-2008, 02:51 PM

I don't know anybody personally that lived over 100 years. One of my great-aunts and two great-great aunts are in their mid-90's now. From what I have heard is that my great-aunt and great-great aunt are not in their greatest health now. I don't know about my great-great aunt though.

There is/was a deaf man in his 100's living in a nursing home near where I used to live. He was a teacher/Superintendent at the Georgia School for the Deaf. I don't know if he is still around. He seemed healthy in pictures.

Would I want to live up to 100 or over 100? I don't know if I would want to live that long.

Really, I think they should talk about deaf old people who's 100 in history. I noticed people talks about old hearing people who's 100 and over from TV news or newspaper. But never see about deaf and 100 yrs old.

Brian · 05-18-2008, 03:13 PM

Yes, MeYag, they should. The newspapers did feature the deaf teacher/Superintendent several times. I am trying to find the articles over at GSDAA.org, but they are probably redoing the website now.

mostly old people always still kept ages whether wanted alives till 100 years old or after

i read on royals that late HM Queen Mother become 100 years old in 2000 and she very good healthy and she passed away in 2002 at ages 101 years old you would believe that?

PowerON · 05-18-2008, 09:42 PM

I'm over 180 years old and I enjoy the long life.

Funny.

Matilda · 05-18-2008, 11:00 PM

When I was little, I used to say I would live to 100 but now I am in my 50's ... no way.

On my maternal side, my great grandmother lived to 94, then my grandmother to 93 and now my mother is 80. So who knows.

I read recently on internet, you know with actor George Burns, he died at 100 or 101 just like this old queen lady, he smoked a cigars for many year. It's impossible.
(I don't like cigars). I applauded for old people who live up to 100 yrs old or more.

Miss-Delectable · 05-18-2008, 11:51 PM

I know I wouldn't want to live to 100. Very lonely age, I imagine.

My grandmother lived to 97 before passing on and my great-aunt is 99 years old this year and last I heard she's in good health. Doesn't rely on assistive devices.

So I have to wait and see how long my mum and aunt will live to. Then I'll know if I have 50/50 of inheriting longevity gene.

jillio · 05-19-2008, 01:09 AM

If I could remain active and mentally alert, then , yes. It would mean I could stop rushing to accomplish everything I want to accomplish is such a short time!

You've got a point there, MissD. Since most people don't live that long, chances are great that you would out live all of your family and friends.

On some days, I feel a hundred years old.

Thanks to Google! I found the article I was looking for and it happened to be posted here. To read the article: John Caple celebrates 100th birthday.

Would I remain live up to 100 years old...?

sequoias · 05-19-2008, 02:29 AM

We are all mortal, so we die when it's our time. We won't know if we will live to 100 or not, even some of your relatives may live long doesn't mean you will live long, too.

PowerON · 05-19-2008, 10:15 AM

Being over 100 years old have increase more than ever.

shel90 · 05-19-2008, 06:07 PM

Would I? Who knows?

Do I want to? Depends on the quality of my life by then.

Oceanbreeze · 05-19-2008, 06:25 PM

I'm lucky to have lived this long, so any year from here on out is gravy for me.

CrzyMeg · 05-23-2008, 07:12 PM

I want to.

Bottesini · 05-23-2008, 07:29 PM

My grandmother made 90 years. Deaf but 10 years less than 100. I like good food too much. Don't think I will make it.

IslandBreeze07 · 05-23-2008, 07:31 PM

50 years from now, we can have a lot of medical breakthroughs. I watched "2057" last night. Boy was it amazing. There are some medical advances right now that would blow your mind. So it's evitable that we will get helped along with medical "miracles" to live longer and longer!

I want to live as long as I can for my family. To help my girls become good mamas themselves. I'd be so honored to!

PuyoPiyo · 05-29-2008, 10:26 AM

I know there's a Japanese old man that had lived for 120 years. Me? Doubt due to my health issues
