I doubt it. You generally don't see big people living to be that old. It's always "A little old man" or "A little old lady".....how often do ya hear of a "big old lady"?
"Honey, I helped this big old lady across the street today... She was huge! Musta weighed 250 lbs..." -That's something you never hear.
My mother is 88- 5'3"/107 lbs. says if it wasn't so hilly around here, she'd get a bike! I have to keep my shed locked, because if she has access to the lawn mower, she'll walk over and mow! Last spring she painted the 14' wide gate across my driveway.....
