An Ohio Woman Spent Her 105th Birthday Doing Her Two Favorite Things: Watching Football And Drinking Fireball
An Ohio woman rang in her 105th birthday watching football and drinking Fireball as she shared her secrets for living a long and happy life.
She had her three favorite things at her party, Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, firefighters and she got to watch her favorite football team, the Cincinnati Bengals, play the Minnesota Vikings.
Ugh, it hurts to watch other people live out your dreams. But let me say this: 105-year-old Florence "Flo" Hackman and 19-year-old Ohio's Tate would've been the best of friends. I wasn't as into Firefighters as she appears to be, but the Fireball Whiskey and Football combo would've been a match made in heaven. The only thing is that was 11 years ago when I was in my drinking prime, and she was.......94 fucking year old. Now I'm 30 and shudder to think of spending a Sunday drinking liquor, but she's still doing what she does best.
I'm most intrigued as to when she learned that she loved Fireball. Like, the brand isn't new, but neither is this 105 year old. And even if Fireball Whiskey is 30 years old, and she was the very first person to ever sip it, then she was still SEVENTY FIVE when she tried it. The Math is insane on this one, and the only way to compute it is to realize that Flo Hackman is the coolest motherfucking lady to ever exist.

Some of her favorite hobbies are exercising for 20 minutes a day, watching her favorite football team, swigging Fireball, playing the organ, going on walks, dancing, and attending her daily 'happy hour' with her friends at Traditions of Deerfield Retirement & Assisted Living Facility.
This lady is outliving everyone both in age and in life experiences. I mean, the fact that she exercises for 20 full minutes per day is astonishing in itself. I haven't done exercise in the last 20 years, let alone do it for a full 1/3 of an hour. And speaking of hours, am I reading this right that she attends a DAILY happy hour with her friends? What a fucking QUEEN.
Literally:
Dressed up as Queen Elizabeth for Halloween! I bet she got fucked up, too. Maybe even met one of those Firefighters she loves so much gave her a little lap dance.
I love this lady. The only problem is that she's a Bengals fan. Being 105 years old and never seeing her team win a Super Bowl is sad to realize. And without Joe Burrow, that ain't happening this year either. I know she's old, but maybe she's not set in her ways just yet? There's another Ohio team just a few hours north of her that would gladly make her our Sister Jean and let her tag along for our Super Bowl run this year….
