I never want to be that old. I hope I die before i get into triple digits. I dont want to be taken care of when i'm getting up there in age.

She was born only 13 years after Abe Lincoln was shot. That is really crazy if you think about it. She's lived in 3 different centuries. That is just crazy

Life would suck. She's probably had to bury most of her children too.

I'd want to live that long. I want to live as long as I can. Why want to die when you could enjoy the experience of life even more?

Re: "World's oldest person" celebrates 128th birthday

I doubt the veracity of this article. The oldest person ever was 122 and the oldest person living is 114.

Or TV. Or planes. And then she was 121 going into the turn of the millenium.
