BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Felimina Rotundo works six days a week washing clothes at a local laundromat and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon, even at the age of 100.

 

Rotundo washes clothes and handles dry cleaning at the College Laundry Shoppe in Buffalo.

 

She works from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. She says that she likes being out and working because it “gives her something to do.”

 

Rotundo said that she hasn’t considered retirement. She says she doesn't think that "old people" should be sitting idle, and doing nothing, because that is a waste of time.

 

So when would be an acceptable age to retire? According to her, 75 would be a good age but only if health is an issue.

 

Rotundo was born in 1915, and this past August she reached the century mark. She says she has been working for 85 years of her life. She has worked in the area for nearly 40 years. When she first started she only made about 25 cents for washes.

I wonder how she is in bed, or if she ever gets to bed. Does she have children, what does she eat, exersize????

washing clothing? She looks like a typical dry cleaners woman.

About that. She works on a college campus, and then there is the stress levels of being around certain kinds of people. In this case it is soft people from the college itself.

..

The worlds oldest woman said she never used make up or any of that stuff.

Another oldest woman have had kids before.

But again these are European people. The last time I saw an old man, was this 300 year old man????? in the west indies, ( or was it Africa ) who was climbing trees like a kid. Explaining that because his environment is clean ( which it was ).

.......

Seriously I wanna know the mileage of this washer woman
