Exercise for People 50 and Over (HUMOR)

Exercise for People 50 and Over

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of
room at
each side.

With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out
from
your sides and hold them there as long as you can.

Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you'll find that
you
can hold this position for just a bit longer.

After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks.

Then try 50-lb. potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where
you can
lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight
for more
than a full minute. (I'm at this level.)

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the
sacks.

LOL!!! Love it.

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted.

I want to say Happy Spring (Mar 21) soon to all and it's a much needed
spring as those of us who live in Ontario and border states have had a crazy
snowy winter.I haven't seen a winter like this with so many snow thaws and
dumps galore,one after another in the same week. Thank God I have a
wonderful neighbour who loves to play with his big honking snowblower, he's
kept us out of the chiropractor's office.

Here's to the grand meltdown (raising wine glass).

Cheers,
Roseanne

Speaking of Spring (and subsequently Easter)...

Three blondes died in an accident trying to jump the Grand Canyon.
They are at the pearly gates of Heaven. St. Peter tells them that they
can enter the gates only if they can answer one simple religious
question. The question posed by St. Peter is - "What is Easter"?

The first blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday in
November when we all get together, eat turkey and are thankful."

"Wrong!, you are not welcome here, I'm afraid. You must go to the
other place!" replies St. Peter. Then he turns to the second blonde,
and asks her the same question - "What is Easter?"

The second blonde replies, "Easter is the holiday in December when we
put up a nice tree, exchange presents, and celebrate the birth of
Jesus."

St. Peter looks at the second blonde, bangs his head on the pearly
gates in disgust and tells her she's wrong and will have to join her
friend in the other place; she is not welcome in Heaven.

He then peers over his glasses at the third blonde and asks, "Do YOU
know what Easter is?"

The third blonde smiles confidently and looks St. Peter in the eyes,
"I know what Easter is."

"Oh?" says St. Peter, incredulously.

"Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish
celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were eating at the
last supper and Jesus was later deceived and turned over to the Romans
by one of his disciples. The Romans took him to be crucified and he
was stabbed in the side, made to wear a crown of thorns, and was hung
on a cross with nails through his hands and feet. He was buried in a
nearby cave which was sealed off by a large boulder."

St. Peter smiles broadly with delight.

Then the third blonde continues ... "Every year the boulder is moved
aside so that Jesus can come out and, if he sees his shadow, there
will be six more weeks of winter!"
