Re: [MBZ] God's plan for aging

[Rich Thomas via Mercedes]

Some years ago we trekked the Inca Trail.  Our guide was this very nice 
young man who spoke English quite well, but he had one of those little 
digital recorders to record our mealtime conversations, then he would 
listen to it later while walking or at night, to learn English better, 
and some of the idioms and what not.  When we got to Machu Picchu there 
were a bunch of geezers walking around, they had taken the bus up.  I 
made a derogatory reference to the geezers and our guide became very 
intrigued, "What is gee-zair?"  I explained what a geezer was, and he 
got it and thought it was funny, there was some spanish word for geezers 
that he told me, I forget what it was.  So anyway he was fascinated by 
the word, liked the sound of it I guess, and kept practicing it, 
"gee-zair" he would say and I would correct him, "gee-ZERR"  He kept 
trying but never quite got it.  He had me say it into the recorder a few 
times so he could practice.  I heard him walking around after the 
conversation, listening to the recorder and mumbling "gee-zair" to 
himself and chuckling.  It was pretty funny.

find us geezers; with our various deficiencies; threatening or disturbing. Just 
so they can understand why we have these unique habits, here are explanations 
of why the Creator designed us this way:


God's plan for aging
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.
Then God saw there was another need. In His wisdom He made seniors
lose coordination so they would drop things requiring them to bend,
reach & 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 acid 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.


We geezers allow for the shortsightedness of youth (those under 65) who 
assiduously ignore the fact that in a few short years they will be geezers too.
