: skip to main skip to sidebar Tuesday , September 29, 2009 Losing my marbles A humorous story I enjoyed and wanted to share with . you The older I get , the more I enjoy Saturday mornings . Perhaps it's the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise , or maybe it's the unbounded joy of not having to be at work . Either way , the first few hours of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable . A few weeks ago , I was shuffling toward the garage with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other . What began as a typical Saturday morning turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time . Let me tell you about it I turned the dial up into the phone portion of the band on my ham radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning swap net . Along the way , I came across an older sounding chap , with a tremendous signal and a golden voice . You know the kind , he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business . He was telling whom-ever he was talking with something about a thousand marbles . I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he had to say . Well , Tom , it sure sounds like you're busy with your job . I'm sure
The biggest loser at my weight-loss club was an elderly woman."How'd you do it?" we asked. "Easy," she said."Every night I take my teeth out at six o'clock."<div class="blogger-post-footer"

: skip to main skip to sidebar Wednesday , September 16, 2009 Looking for Jesus An old man stumbling through the woods , totally drunk , comes upon a preacher baptizing people in the river . The old drunk , wanting to be friendly , walks into the water bumping into the preacher . The preacher turns around , overcome by the smell of booze , grabs the drunk , and asks him , Are you ready to find Jesus Yes , I certainly am' replies the drunk , so the preacher lifts him up and dunks him in the river . He pulls him up and asks the old drunk , Brother did you find Jesus The drunk replies , No , I surely didn't . The preacher , shocked at the answer , dunks him into the water again , but for a bit longer this time . He pulls him out of the water and asks again , Have you found Jesus , my brother The drunk again answers , No , I mostly have not found Jesus . By this time the preacher is at his wits end so he dunks the drunk in the water again , but this time he holds him down for about a minute . Well , the old drunk man begins kicking and flailing his arms and legs , and the preacher pulls him up . Then the preacher asks the drunk again , For the love of God man , did you find Jesus this

It's obvious to her that Gramps has his hands full with the child screaming for candy in the candy aisle , cookies in the cookie aisle same for fruit , cereal and soda in their respective aisles . Meanwhile , Gramps is working his way around , saying in a controlled voice , Easy , Albert , we won't be long easy , boy . Another outburst , and she hears Gramps calmly say , It's okay , Albert , just a couple more minutes and we'll be out of here . Hang in there,boy . At the checkout , the little terror is throwing items out of the cart , and Gramps again in a controlled voice is says , Albert , Albert , relax buddy , don't get upset . We'll be home in five minutes stay cool , Albert . Very impressed , the woman goes outside where Gramps is loading his groceries and the boy into the car . You know , sir , it's none of my business , but you were amazing in there . I don't know how you did it .

Do you know that when a woman wears a leather dress, a an old geezer's heart beats quicker, his throat gets dry, he gets weak in the knees, and he begins to think irrationally??? Ever wonder why?It's because she smells like a new golf bag ....
When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade, listing every problem they had ever had in the 30 years they had been married. She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of their marriage. Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said, 'This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?' The husband thought for a moment and replied: "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays I fish."

: skip to main skip to sidebar Thursday , September 3, 2009 Supergeezer WHAT does your average great grandma in her 90s want for her birthday Ruth Frith wants a home gym to keep up to scratch with her hammer throw and shot put . True story . Ruth is a marvel at 99, a Masters athlete who refuses to act her age . Grant Hackett has just retired as a swimming oldie of 28. Our super-senior citizen from Algester , on Brisbane's southside , is still competing . This great grandmother of 11 has already enlisted for the World Masters Games which will draw an estimated 25,000 competitors to Sydney in October next year . She is literally in a league of her own in the women's 95-99 age category in which her best throws for the discus 9.85m hammer 11.37m and shot put 4.72m are all world bests . I hold five world records but , let's be honest , I'm the only competitor in my age group , she says with a smile . I'm the oldest competing in the world . You have to aim high . I look at what those in their 80s are throwing and try to beat them . Honestly , I don't know what is so magical about being 99. It's just two numbers on a piece of paper and I'm still the same freckle-faced redhead I was at 98.
