God's Plan for Ageing 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.. | ||
Chris Tarrant done for drink drinking (the swine) - I've never liked him.
Snitched on (apparently) by a disgruntled neighbour

Then God saw there was another need. In His wisdom He made seniors lose co-ordination 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 2 motivations: hunger and hanky panky, 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 jalapeno peppers. What you do today may be a burning issue tomorrow.
Ain’t ain’t that the truth!

Happiness is telling your 7yr old daughter at bedtime that she be and or do anything in her dreams while she sleeps.. Then asking what she will do tonight... Explore Disney World? Swim with dolphins? spend the time at the seaside? Her reply melted me.... " Spend it with you Mummy" 
A friend told me at her son's school they were asking the kids what they'd like to be when they grew up.
Apparently one boy said, "A terrorist"

To be fair, not a new thing.
Remember in E.T. when the mother tells Michael he can't go out dressed as a terrorist? In the 20th anniversary edition it was changed to "hippie".
