117 oldest lady - do you want to get this long ? 16.04.17

what a achievement
it really is amazing
got to be a celebration of her bereavement
even if my time emma is fazing.
poetry is going to flood
seeing the clock gives the boost
117 is not in my DNA or blood
i got to write post and again roost.
get as much out is precious
peace will be i am resting
for writing such crap links notorious
the puzzle will be why the investing.
its not good bye
but i am not pulling your leg
spinning is the hand and i no why
its going to get messy as my diet is only egg.

Life advice from a 117-year-old - BBC News

No.
I want to live as long as I am happy, go peacefully, before my husband and children thank you.

If I was still physically able to look after myself and had my faculties about me then I'de like to live till old age but 117 might be a bit too much .

[user104658]

Anyway... No thanks tbh, every day would be painful. A healthy 80 to 90 with my mind intact and a comfortable death would do me nicely. But I'll probably be senile at 65 and die horribly.

To live to a 117 is the only way of having a chance of beating niamh's post count.

[Northern Monkey]

Yessss!

Only because i want to see how technology has progressed and whether we have a colony on Mars by then.

[joeysteele]

No, not for me.

I wouldn't want to live so long if I had to suffer pain and lose my faculties.
