Exercise and aging

2010-08-17T06:40:00.001-07:00

Exercise and aging

Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month.

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I’m doing..

I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven’t lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there.

Every time I hear the dirty word ‘exercise’, I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they’ll say, ‘Well, she looks good doesn’t she.’

If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.

I know I got a lot of exercise the last few years,…… just getting over the hill.

We all get heavier as we get older, because there’s a lot more information in our heads. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

“Every time I start thinking too much about how I look, I just find a Happy Hour and by the time I leave,
“I look just fine.”

“The pedestrian had no idea which direction to go, so I ran over him.”

“I saw the slow-moving, sad-faced old gentleman as he bounced off the hood of my car.”

“When I could not avoid a collision, I stepped on the gas and crashed into the other car.”

“I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.”

“In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.”

“My car was legally parked as it backed into the other vehicle.”

“As I approached the intersection, a stop sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident.”

“The telephone pole was approaching fast. I was attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my front end.”

“A truck backed though my windshield and into my wife’s face.”

“I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law, and headed over the embankment.”

“The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.”

“An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle, and vanished.”

OK these roundabout (only found in UK it seems), are genuis at play when they work (i.e. people SIGNAL). but there is cause for annoyance when at a mini roundabout when everyone is indicating left.

Rules state "give way to the left", but when you are giving away and are also turning left, the guy in the next lane is doing the same, and its like circus act, everyone looking at each other, then one peerson moves forward a bit then stops, waves at the next guy, he dont move....stale mate.....

my view, if in doubt, go go go.

EARLY trains

So i gently walk to the station, pick up a london lite, glances at watch and knows i've got at least 2mins to get to the platform for the 16:07 train to Luton.
However i get concerned when i see people walking the other way up from the stairs, has a train arrived? but no its only 16:05 (bears in mind this is a Swiss timepiece that is infroming me of such detail). Thus upon walking down the stairs i only find that the Luton train departing 2mins early!
WTF!
Ok the usual rant is about late trains, but early?

May i ask FFC whats the point in having timetables when trains just seem to come and go whenever. I now just get to the platform as soon as i can, and just hope, no relaxing till i'm awaiting.

Stupid public transport.

People who dont scrape the ice and stuff of their car windows in the morning cos its either "too cold",or "i'm in too mucha rush". This leads to idiots on the road who
a)cant see where they are going except thru a tiny port hole that their rubbish car heater has created
(b) they put their screen wipers on max thrust thinking that the rubber which is designed to remove excess WATER can do the same job as a credit card or proper car scraper on ICE
(c) they end up parking in two spaces cos they cant see the lines/use their mirrors, so in order not to hit anything they reduce the risk by parking randomly and badly.

It takes 2mins to walk around the car with a scraper, it takes 1 mins to spray that de-icer stuff. so do it, idiots.
