Just for Fun...




I received this email awhile ago and thought I'd post it to brighten your day...
RETIRED HEALTH MESSAGE
As I was lying in bed pondering the problems of the world, I rapidly realized that I don't really give a rat's hiney. It's the tortoise life for me!
1. If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.
2. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, and is fat.
3. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years.
4. A tortoise doesn't run and does nothing, yet it lives for 450 years.
And you tell me to exercise?? I don't think so.
I'm retired. Go around me.
Now that I'm older here's what I've discovered:
1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

2. My wild oats have turned into prunes and all-bran.

3. I finally got my head together, and now my body is falling apart.

4. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.

5. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.

6. If all is not lost, where is it?

7. It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.

8. Some days, you're the dog; some days you're the hydrant.

9. I wish the buck stopped here; I sure could use a few.

10. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.

11. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.

12. It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.

13. The only time the world beats a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom.

14. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he'd have put them on my knees.

15. When I'm finally holding all the cards, why does everyone want to play chess?

16. Its not hard to meet expenses . . . they're everywhere.

17. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

18. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter..
I go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I'm hereafter.
19. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.


20. DID I SEND THESE TO YOU BEFORE..........??????

Tuesday Tidbits...

Here are some interesting, hmmmm, facts about getting older that everyone should be warned aware about...


...think about the word menopause;  men...on...pause.  Despite what some celebrities say (i.e. Suzanne Somers) about the fab-u-lous  sex life you can look forward to as you age; don't kid yourself!  Not that a mature sex life isn't okey-dokey, but the facts are, after hauling your sorry butt off the couch and getting to the bed well...mostly, all you can think about is how comfy it looks for sleep! 

So...unless you have gobs of money for biohormonal whatchamacallit's, personal trainers and chefs it is best to stay in the "real" world and accept sleep often trumps you-know-what...sorry!

...as we age, things don't just go south, they head for the Antartica.  Our parts change shape and suddenly, your butt goes "flat" and your belly's got "back"!  J-Lo just wait, it'll happen to you, too!

...your patience declines equivalent to your husband's hearing loss.

...developing aches and pains is normal as we age.  It often begins in our late 30's or 40's, but there comes a time when we suddenly start hurting in places that are immoral and illegal!

...you're looking through old photos of your mother who is 50+ and abruptly realize you're looking at your face!

...your husband is laughing as he tells you a story about some "Old Gal" who was hitting on him at the coffee shop and when you ask, "How old?", he says, "Oh, around ______ (fill in your age)!!

...our memory isn't what it once was so, we cleverly substitute words like; thingabobs, doodads and &%!Z0 forget it!

And finally...

“There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.”
Sophia Loren
