amazed me. No way did they look that old.

What was the figure about the percentage of people who will live to be 100+? I think it was 40%. If that is true, it is certainly going to have to change Social Security.

It was interesting that the reporter asked the white-haired lady with the bob if it bothered her that she couldn't remember certain things and the woman responded that it did not. I have read there are studies that show that dementia does not lead to unhappiness or lower quality of life.
