How many of us just kinda take the doctor’s insistence that we give up bad crap and eat well and exercise and lay off the sodas and come in for cardiac stress tests and survive into our eighties as sort of a mild hint of a suggestion, rather than plain ol’ good advice?
Bah, life would be boring if we all did what we were told instead of living it. I’ve lived a hell of a life thus far… How the rest goes, meh, I’m not going to stop enjoying what’s left by starting to follow “orders” now.
Whether I make it to 80 or not, who can say. But better to live it to the fullest than to make it to 80 unscathed. 😉
Because once that lid comes down on the coffin, it’s game over and nobody cares one way or another. XD
Arterial blockage, heart disease and cardiac arrest are all nature’s way of saying, “Congratulations, you got high score.”
Perhaps she should buy a stationary bike. The one my parents bought made a great place to hang jackets.
That’s where my wife hangs our clothes. I don’t recommend ellipticals because there’s no place for hangers.
Wait, that was advice, and not a joke?!
Allan.. This is Hubris.. That was BOTH..
Retired neighbor was an avid golfer and his wife worried about him out on his own. I bought a used set of his clubs at a rummage sale, and he brought me all sorts of other gear… and I dutifully went out for driving practice, putting practice, etc; and even played the back nine at the city golf course. I made the rule that I pick up after six strokes so we would get done in one day… I could make him look like Tiger Woods. Then I went to doc and got chewed for no exercise (he wrote it on my chart) and I took out the receipt from a few days before, I’d played the back nine. Yep, witness could be produced. He had to scribble out and write (took up golf).
Bet she brings back.
Just want to thank J.M. for the donation yesterday.
Be Blessed!
