## Resource

Margaret Ham of Basingstoke, England, is set to turn 100—and she’s still smoking 40 cigarettes a day, crediting her longevity to marmalade, Yorkshire tea, and a stubborn refusal to change her ways. Despite modern health warnings, she’s lived through war, served in the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force, and remains fiercely independent. Her granddaughter’s rallying cry? Flood her with birthday cards—because Margaret’s life, full of defiance and grit, deserves to be celebrated loud and proud. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
