On the 8th day :)

On the 8th day

On the 8th Day, God created Seniors. Most seniors never get enough exercise. In His wisdom, God decreed that seniors become forgetful so they would have to search for their glasses, keys, and other things, thus doing more walking. And God looked down and saw that it was good.

Then God saw there was another need. In His wisdom He made seniors lose coordination so they would drop things, requiring them to bend, reach, and stretch. And God looked down and saw that it was good.

Then God considered the function of bladders and decided seniors would have additional calls of nature, requiring more trips to the bathroom, thus providing more exercise. God looked down and saw that it was good.

So if you find, as you age, you are getting up and down more, remember it's God's will. It is all in your best interest even though you mutter under your breath.

Nine Important Facts to Remember as We Grow Older:

#9 Death is the number 1 killer in the world.

#8 Life is sexually transmitted.

#7 Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

#6 Men have two motivations: hunger and sex, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.

#5 Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.

#4 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.

#3 All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

#2 In the 60's, people took LSD to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.

#1 Life is like a jar of jalapeño peppers. What you do today may be a burning issue tomorrow.

Yes - it isn't any fun getting old - the only thing that takes some time to get use to is the fact that in your mind your still in your 30s but your body is years older - it takes sometime to get use to this - can't see as good - in fact am scheduled for cataract surgery later this month - can't hear very good so I wear hearing aids when watching TV or going somewhere - both shoulders were injured and they keep reminding me of that - notice my balance isn't that good either - but all in all I am still motoring along - looking forward to going fishing up in your neck of the woods either this Fall or next spring - I can't complain though - a lot of my high school classmates are dead and the ones still around can hardly walk

Today would have been my 61st wedding anniversary if my wife was still alive - she passed away 23 years ago - we were married on July 9, 1960 - boy I'll tell you something - time flies by - so make each day count - and live it so you have no regrets - today may be yours but tomorrow might never come - surround yourself with good people and family and look at all the good things in life - if you only listen to the news you will no doubt get depressed - hang in there and remember tell Him Joe sent you

Golden years, I call it the rusty years, corrosion has taken over and we are all falling apart.

The only thing golden in your "Golden Years' is your pee

Truer words have never been said so they say. Whoever named it the Golden years didn't have a clue what he or she was talking about. Love it cause most of it is true....

My dad always said work hard when your young then it’s coaster ride when your old. This coaster ride is All Down Hill. He never mentioned that

It's your health - they could be golden years if your healthy - retired and not going to work - house paid off - kids on their own - nice income from pension and social security - lots of toys - you can do what you want to do when you want to do it - if you don't want to do it then don't do it - I've been retired since 1994 and was in good health for most of the time - its been the last couple years where my health is starting to show signs of going down hill - but all in all can't complain - I still go hunting and fishing and do a lot around my property - so take care of yourself and you can experience those golden years -
