Upvoting because we might just need knowledge like this... Not that I think it'll be that bad.

93, and sharper than a lot of people my age.

My grandparents, who also survived the Depression, ate boiled newspaper at one point.

This knowledge passed down the old school way. It's an interaction we just don't really have anymore, the elders passing along their wisdom to the young.

I wish we had more of this type of knowledge transfer. Parents are too busy making a living and raising their kids that often I think they just pass along compacted primary knowledge. A grandparent/elder with more time can fill in the details, and often its the details that can make all the difference.

I love this woman. Gives me a sense of hope, and puts things into perspective.

I have an 80 yr old Gramma at LEAST this awesome (okay she's way more awesome but I'm obviously biased). She knit a sweater jacket for my university grad in 2007. And it's not ugly!

@2:17 she says (for the second time, but this time w/ a 'twist')
..."you know, I had to quit high school...because I didn't have sockets...to wear..."
"That's a fact."
Then, turning on her electric rangetop: "now, gonna turn on the gas..."
I love her.

this has inspired me to impose my crew of 5 on my grandma...every woman needs to be needed. I think it's awesome that her grandson comes over w/ his friends for the poor man's meal.

Yeah, we don't listen to our elders enough.

And yeah, that looks pretty tasty
