Do you know anyone older than Biden?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Yes, but just one person: my grandmother, my sole surviving grandparent.

Something I realized after my grandfather died last month, that he was one of the few remaining people I knew older than Biden.

[TheReckoning]

Sorry to hear about your grandfather BRTD.

[TDAS04]

Yes. One of my aunts (my mom’s oldest sister) is 89.

My dad isn’t quite as old as Biden, but he’s older than Trump.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Yes

Sorry to hear about your grandfather BRTD.

Thanks. As I noted in the thread I made about it, he definitely had quite the life: https://www.newpraguetimes.com/new-prague-times/content/clifford-r%C2%A0-ebert-93

My grandfather, older than Biden by three months.

An old college professor of mine, who should be about 90 right now.

And presumably, several of my friends' grandparents that I've met but don't know their exact ages.

[Blow by blow, the passion dies]

My great-grandmother (born 1935)

[Progressive Pessimist]

My grandma is 84.

[Crumpets]

I have a great aunt who I think was born in ~1938 give or take.

[dead0man]

both of my parents, barely

[Cokeland Saxton]

My two remaining grandparents

[LBJer]

Yes--I have a cousin who's 94 (born in 1929).  So she's 13 years older than Biden.

To be honest, I find the question rather odd.  81 is not 101.  It's not an age that makes someone stand out as being exceptionally long-lived today.  Harrison Ford, for example, is the same age as Biden.

[TransfemmeGoreVidal]

yes, both of my still living Grandparents and several other older relatives

[morgieb]

Paternal grandfather is still alive and is a year older than Biden. Rest of my grandparents are younger than him though.

Yes--I have a cousin who's 94 (born in 1929).  So she's 13 years older than Biden.

To be honest, I find the question rather odd.  81 is not 101.  It's not an age that makes someone stand out as being exceptionally long-lived today.  Harrison Ford, for example, is the same age as Biden.

I find it odd given that there is someone in my family (kind of) who is 107 - my aunt's late husband's mother. She was 56 when Biden was first sworn into the Senate and 70 during his ill-fated first presidential campaign. She reached the same age Biden is now around the time of the Lewinsky Scandal.

Aside from her, there are various people in the extended family and in social circles who I at least know of.

[MasterJedi]

Yes, my one surviving grandparent is older and my wife’s grandmother is 102.

[satsuma]

My grandparents were born in the 30s and aren't still alive. Some of the old folks from church are still alive, and my great-aunt.

[Upper Canada Tory]

My amazing grandmother is in her late 80s, so older than Biden.

Sorry to hear about your grandfather, BRTD.

[President Johnson]

Yes, my last surviving grandma turns 91 this year. Also the parents of my uncle are the same age and a bunch of my neighbors are in their mid/late 80s.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

He's only eighty one, so, lots.

[Mr. Smith]

Currently staying with someone older, not even counting my Grandma who's closer to Jimmy Carter in age than anyone else of note.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I attend an Episcopal church, so a pretty easy yes vote. Also, all of my grandparents have long passed but would be over 100 today, except for my paternal grandmother who would turn 100 in July this year.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Currently, off the top of my head, only one - my 88 year old great aunt.

[Alcibiades]

Yes, plenty. My grandmother, around ten great-aunts and -uncles, family friends of my grandparents, and my dad’s godfather, who at 98 is the oldest person I know.

Three of my grandparents are older than Joe Biden.
