  
I have found at my age going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of my face.
You're getting old when you don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along. Statistics show that at the age of seventy, there are five women to every man. Isn't that an ironic time for a guy to get those odds? Middle age is when it takes longer to rest than to get tired. By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he's too old to go anywhere. Middle age is when you have stopped growing at both ends, and have begun to grow in the middle. Someone has described heaven as a family reunion that never ends. What could hell possibly be like? Home videos of the same reunion? A man has reached middle age when he is cautioned to slow down by his Doctor instead of by the police.  Middle age is having a choice of two temptations and choosing the one that will get you home earlier. You know you're into middle age when you realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise. At my age, "getting a little action" means I don't need to take a laxative. Don't worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you. The aging process could be slowed down if it had to work its way through Congress. You're getting old when "getting lucky" means you find your car in the parking lot. You're getting old when your wife gives up fooling around for Lent, and you don't know till the 4th of July. You're getting old when you wake up with that morning-after feeling, and you didn't do anything the night before. |
 Take Note!Possible Stroke This might be a lifesaver if we can remember the three questions!  Now doctors say any bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: * Ask him or her to raise both arms. * Ask the person to speak a simple sentence. If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. After discovering that a group of nonmedical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February. People overall are experiencing knee pain, most commonly caused by arthritis, in people as young as their 30's when at one time, this was associated mainly in the elderly. Weight bearing movement, which means repeated pounding on the knee with forces up to four to five times your body weight, is the most common reason for knee stress and pain. Over the years, this takes its toll in wear and tear on the knees. Exercise is vital - and in today's society necessary - to those who wish to avoid health problems such as diabetes, heart conditions and low blood pressure to name just a few. Therefore, it is imperative to learn how to avoid injury to your knees while still getting necessary exercise in your life. Exercise is essential in today's society where technology and modern conveniences no longer require much physical exertion in many instances. As a result, society as a whole has become too sedentary. Being sedentary is more dangerous than smoking a pack of cigarettes a day and overall, the risk is even greater in those who do not exercise. The key is to not take your knee for granted and learn how to do exercises properly. Poor positioning of an exercise can do extensive damage to your knees. Always give special attention to the description of any specific exercise to avoid misalignment and strain to your knees. Proper exercise for the knee is imperative - get this manual, complete with pictures and quick, easy to understand procedures. Use your head to save those knees! Here are ten tips to avoid injury - follow these and do the exercises in the manual and you should enjoy good knee-health for the rest of your life! Tips: 1. Stay strong - this is what the manual will teach you how to do using the quadriceps muscles to ease stress on the knee joint. 2. Mix up your exercise routines i.e., practice cross training, which implements a variety of activities. 3. Stay active. 4. Avoid risky activities, especially if you have had a previous knee injury. 5. Lose weight because excess weight accelerates existing osteo-arthritis due to extra pressure on the knees.
Example: If you lose just two pounds, the knee senses less force and "thinks" you have lost ten pounds! 6. Always wear good, quality shoes. Walking and running shoes should be changed after 500 miles of use, or in six to nine months. 7. Learn proper techniques (as previously mentioned) in all your exercises and activities. 8. If you have pre-existing knee problems, seek a professional for a customized workout most beneficial to your specific needs. 9. Add activities and new exercises cautiously. Be sure a movement is gentle on the knee. 10. Rest. Sometimes rest is the best thing we can do for our knees. Judge this by the way your knee is feeling. If you've been participating in regular exercise for some time, give it a rest for a day. |
