--Dora Nelson is doing OK. A little toddy helps, but she said she has no magic formula for longevity. “I’m 108. That’s all I can say. I’ve worked and lived right and tried to be good to everybody. I reckon I’ve done my part,” she said when she celebrated her birthday at the J Health Care Center in Simpsonville, S.C. Among her gifts was a bottle of sour mash whiskey. “I’ve got a few pints hid somewhere. I’m not going to apologize for it,” she said. She has a “toddy” of whiskey every night before she goes to bed, and it keeps her lively. “I’m going to try to make it another 108 years,” she said. “People can shorten their days or make them longer. I like the long days better, myself.”
