105-Year-Old Woman Says Bacon Keeps Her Alive | TIME.com
A 105-year-old Texas woman, who became a widow at age 38 and worked as everything from a cotton picker to a hay baler while raising 7 kids on her own, says bacon is the secret to her longevity, the Huffington Post reports.
"I love bacon. I eat it everyday," Pearl Cantrell told NBC affiliate KRBC when asked her secret to living so long. "I don't feel as old as I am. That's all I can say," Cantrell added.

Well there is someone we can all (well most) aspire to emulate (except for the 7 kids and the woman bit)...

Maybe he was the bacon.....spooky hillbilly stuff Chris
Cue banjos
Hoo boy have you stepped into it this time! Never call a Texan a hillbilly, cuz thems is fighting words!
Readie, just so you don't get yourself in similar* trouble again, Texans are "Texans" and take offense to being called anything else (well, except "Americans"- as long as you smile when you say it and don't mean the wrong kind of Americans [gun-thieving liberals and the like]). On the other hand hillbillies (who, oddly enough, are from hilly, not flat areas) will get mad as hell if you call them Texans.
Please do not tell the Texans this however. We will keep this just between us.
There is nobody from Texas in this forum to take offense, right? Right??

To Moderators: The above comments are not political in nature. They are simply the truth.
* Readie, I emphasized "similar" trouble, because, like me, you seem to be able to get into other kinds of trouble on your own.

Yeah, kinda agree. "Hillbillies" are from the Appalachia regions of the USA. Texans are different breed altogether.
Its pronounced 'merikin.
Shoot, I know that, but I didn't want to confuse the hell out of Readie. He's one of them furinurs, you know.

James,
Hillbilly, cowboy ? . Anybody wearing a 15 gallon hat (or whatever its called) and dungarees must be barking.
What is a merikin? some sort of pepper bacon?
Do tell dear boy

Njaco,
'Told ya that it would confuse him.
On a more serious note:
Actually, Readie, even though I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina, I have managed to end up with an English Mother-in-law and Canadian Father-in Law.
Even before she got dementia, I seemed danged normal when compared to her. I am leaving in a couple of minutes to celebrate Father-in-Law's ninety-sixth birthday. He is indeed a WWII veteran.
(in best attempt to sound like a British Officer) Harumph! Barking indeed!

Yes I have, cooked nice and rare on the Barbeque. Verrrrry niiiiice. Love Crock as well, but had already had Aligator in the States years ago. It all has to be cooked right, like Venison. It can all go skewiff if it's not done properly.
And isn't it a TEN gallon hat?????

I could never move back east. I like to keep my dating outside of the family.
I enjoyed Kangaroo as well. Thought it was very tender and tasty. Crock and Alligator were very good as well.
I have tried quite a few "exotic" meats so far, and have probably enjoyed all of them. Rattlesnake is very good.
Then just don't move to West Virginia.
Used to live there myself. Beautiful place, but I could never return and live there. Visit yes, but live no...

Just take a cross bow...
I used to live in the mountains of NC, not West Virginia...
Read the post again.

NC / WV all the same to me.
Just a joke, hopefully amongst friends, anyway Chris.
No offense taken, but if they are the same to you, then you just don't know.
Always among friends...
