Recently there has been some discussion of the medications we take regularly. Evidently, this 100 year old woman has it figured out, just
a simple diet consideration.

One-hundred-year-old Frieda has found her own slice of heaven here on
Earth — and she enjoys it with mustard and a side of chopped onion.
“Mom wants to show you what we did yesterday,” Queen, her daughter and caretaker, tells TODAY.com over Zoom.
Both Frieda and Queen asked that we only use their nicknames to protect their privacy.
The pair, who live in Southern California, are smiling as they reveal
fresh, matching nail polish — glossy and pink, just like a hot dog.
The pair caught the attention of the internet when, on Aug. 13, Queen
posted a clip of Frieda on her 100th birthday with her nightly meal: a
hot dog and a Diet Coke
“At 100 years old, my Mom has a nightly tradition she never wants to miss,” Queen captioned the post. “Would YOU eat the SAME DINNER every night if it made you happy?”
Frieda was so happy with her favorite foods, she was moved to sing.
“Heaven, I’m in heaven, for I’ve got my hot dog and my Diet Coke,” the
chanteuse croons, glizzy in one hand, soda in the other. “What could be better than having a hot dog and a Diet Coke? I’m in heaven every night
of my life.”
I met some pretty old folks when I had an office. There was one old guy that told me he still drove. I looked out the window and spotted an old truck that was dented and scratched on the side. It was a rather amusing sight. Like the moon, I guessed that the other side was pretty much the same as the side I was grinning at. OTOH it could have been worse since it was on the passenger side of the truck. On a later visit, I was dismayed/horrified to see that he was parked next to my beautiful car. It took him quite a while to pull out of the space and I was holding my breath the entire time. What a thriller!
