If you ever get down about being single, things could be worse. You could be Statia Kealy, a 106-year-old woman who lives in Ireland and has been single her entire life. But she’s still hopeful. When the photographer for an Irish newspaper took her picture, she said, “I hope you find me a man with that photo.” If she doesn’t meet a guy, though, she’s not worried: “Those that get married do well, but those that don’t do better.” Is that some kind of famous saying? Or should we attribute the quote to Statia whenever we repeat it under our breath at weddings. [The Nationalist via Lemondrop]

“Nicole is thinking this is kinda funny… “Nicole do you have kids?” i respond “no” ” do you have a boyfriend?” “no” again…then this person has the gall to ask me (with a look of disgust) “do you like being alone?”..... Who says that? That is like a moment out of Sex & The City! (most likley why i avoid this person….) LMAO!”

To put this into perspective, she was born the same year as George Orwell and was a teenager when Walter Cronkite and JFK were born.

I bet she stays young by doing the 90-year-old whipper-snappers in the neighborhood.
