Wow... and she's in GA not some foreign land where she ate anything other than the American diet... AND she lives in a nursing home to boot! Proof we can indeed boast an American life is grand! *fancy dancing to pride's boast*

115 years old?

Wow! what a fun life that must be.

OTOH I know a guy in his mid 90s who still drives, plays cards at the local coffee shop and is sharp as a tack, intellectually.

Genetics, folks.

If you don't do something tragic to shorten your life, then longevity has more to do with genetics than anything modern medicine can give us.
