So, what’s the secret to a long, long life? According to Scotland’s oldest living woman, 109-year old Jessie Gallan, it’s fairly simple:

‘My secret to a long life has been staying away from men. They’re just more trouble than they’re worth.

‘I also made sure that I got plenty of exercise, eat a nice warm bowl of porridge every morning and have never gotten married.

Gallan also has a positive outlook on life:

I’ve never had to depend on anybody. I’ve had my ups and downs, many. But I’m thankful.

And with all due respect, I so disagree with Ms. Gallan’s view on men. Frankly, I think they are more than worth all that trouble!
