Here's another pointless LJ entry for all you FINE folks out there....

A tid bit of news I stumbled upon today as I went to www.cnn.com as I do religiously everyday....

Here she blows...

CNN-A Dutchwoman, the world's oldest person on record who swore by a daily helping of herring for a healthy life, died on Tuesday aged 115.Hendrikje van Andel-Schipper, a former needlework teacher born on June 29, 1890, died in her sleep at a nursing home in the northern Dutch town of Hoogeveen.

Now,that is something I should strive for.To be the oldest woman.But,I mean,how much of a social life would I have at that age? I could totally see myself doing aerobics,going to Peake's and dancing it up(mainly on Friday nights,I probably wouldnt enjoy crowds by then)lj'ing on into the future....

Can you freakin IMAGINE being 115?Living to BE that age?The things we would be able to experience,history and what not...That's like....94 years from now for me...DEAR LORD!!!One thing,I definitely dont like herring.Neh,I dont like most food that has ever swam in the ocean.Blech...

BUT i am totally up for the needlework.Heck,I love to sew...and yes,I DID just say that!!!

Anyhoo,it was just something to think about...

In other news: Rocket game ce soir.Hockey,it's been FAR too long...Sigh,maybe I will even have some fountain pop.Dare I even THINK of eating some popcorn!!!GOODNESS!
