    Yup. Amazing that she can handle that big car. But look at her arms...strong...no atrophy. They say that exercise and weight lifting is really good for the elderly...keeps their muscles, ligaments, and tendons strong...even their bones. Keeps them from getting osteoporosis. No wonder she's still goin' strong.

    Gotta love the HAMB...............on a slow day we can always recycle stuff that got over exposed years ago. Of course that was 100,000 new members ago.

    No the thing is, man up, quit being a leech and sucking off the HAMB teet. Support the site become an Alliance Member. Bump a thread rather than starting a whole new one. Learn to use the search function. :eek::eek::eek::D:D:D

    "man up"? thats the sort of phrase you might hear on oprah. i don't think anybody here is going to search for "101 year oud grandma". this is the kind or topic you stumble across and read for fun. i'm just saying that if you did'ent see first,and you're seeing it now, the ones who did see it first like to make you feel bad or that their some how better or more informed.not everybody is on this thing 24-7. i'll stop now so you can go watch jenny jones.

    That's all you got from that? I'm guessing that you don't understand how much it costs to keep this place running every month. And the way you support the site is to join the Alliance and support the site. And it's always been encouraged to do a search before posting something off topic, if there's an existing thread then bump that rather than start a whole new one. That way there are not 50 off topic threads pushing the others down.

    But then what should we expect, you never did an intro, you're a rebel.

    here we go with the relentless attitude issues....

    I'll stand up and say that I have never seen this video and i would like to personally thank this poster for sharing it...already posted topic or not. This woman is a true inspiration....wow. If only we could all be so lucky to see what she's seen in her lifetime...

    First we have a very inspirational young-at-heart lady, just a joy to watch- then we have "The Dark Side"- Guess which one I want to be at 101
    BTW- I have posted this link on 4 sites, FE, AMCA, caimag, and Facebook, and everyone but you is glad to see it- not one other negative response. You have a real nice day now

    don't worry....its just typical zman. he has a tendancy to occasionally act like that. moving along to more responses on the inspirational 101 year old lady...
     
  24. First I have seen it ... and I have been alllll the way to the end of the internet! Thanks Gene.

    Give Zman a break, he has a point even if you don't like the delivery.

    It is high time that a separate area is made for these kinds of O/T and special interest posts. Fair?

    it may be...but you dont have to go off the deep end about it. I have never seen this post on the HAMB before and the search tool quite often sucks. You could type in 20 different titles trying to find the thread about this long lost video...and you'll never find it. I'm pretty confident the poster meant no harm and I'm not convinced this is an O/T post.

    It used to be that the proportion of this kind of thread was at a level where they didn't interfere with questions about cars. This is a human interest story really, and it is O/T. I tend to like some of this stuff as well, but if you look at the board, there really is too much of this stuff. I laugh about NGL's comment re: Let Me Tell You About My Grandchildren, because it resonates with me.

    That is why I suggest a separate area for this kind of thing, not banning it. It will also keep the peace, apparently.

    So I guess you couldn't see that HUGE, CHERRY 1930 PACKARD? Really? :eek: So you really thought you had to make a fuss about it? Bet you two are just a ball at a party :rolleyes: Turn that stereo down!!! Put a coaster under that drink!!! Make that girl put her clothes back on!!!
    Pretty sure that Packard is even 64 or older :eek:

    Gene, stop being pissy. Try reading the post before you lay out the knee jerk reaction.

    It is a human interest story, its not my fault you can't tell the difference.

    What did we learn technically from the piece?

    Like I said, I'm not for banning them, just posting them somewhere else on the board.
