Getting old LOL

      

 

An elderly gentleman... had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100% The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again." The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"                                                           Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: "Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?" Slim says, "I feel just like a newborn baby." "Really!? Like a newborn baby!?" "Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants." An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly." The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?" The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know... The one that's red and has thorns." "Do you mean a rose?" "Yes, that's the one," replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"    Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. "I don't know," he said. "She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown." Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. "Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asks. "Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?" "Sure." "Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks. "No, I can remember it." "Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so's not to forget it?" He says, "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries." "I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?" she asks. Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!" Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment. "Where's my toast ?" A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy: "So I hear you're getting married?" "Yep!" "Do I know her?" "Nope!" "This woman, is she good looking?" "Not really." "Is she a good cook?" "Naw, she can't cook too well." "Does she have lots of money?" "Nope! Poor as a church mouse." "Well, then, is she good in bed?" "I don' t know." "Why in the world do you want to marry her then?" "Because she can still drive!" Three old guys are out walking. First one says, "Windy, isn't it?" Second one says, "No, it's Thursday!" Third one says, "So am I. Let's go get a beer." A man was telling his neighbour, "I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect." "Really," answered the neighbour . "What kind is it?" "Twelve thirty." Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?" Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'" The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful."  A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlour and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split. The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?" "No," he replied, "Arthritis    LOL...Thought we could all do with a laugh! Love Shauneen

 

For now

For now I'm doing what this verse says!

Verse:                Proverbs 3:6

In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

- We all need God's leading and guidance.
- God wants to do just that for us.
- This happens as we submit to God and acknowledge Him.
- Then we can know what it means to be directed by God.

At this time, I really need to know God is taking control and leading the way (as He DOES! LOL)...Thanks for all your prayers!

Love

Shauneen

THANK YOU JLAND

THANK YOU FRIENDS

Just a quick THANK YOU note to say thank you for all the encouragement I have received! What a sweet bunch you are (((((HUG))))))) LOVE YA!!

A huge decision taken

Hi all my Jlander friends! Its been a while since my last entry but I have been very busy putting plans into action.

We have made the decision to relocate to the UK as soon as we sell our house.My husband worked in London for two years (he has Bristish citizenship) and we have been toying with the idea for quite a few years. While I DO love my country...I think my children are better off somewhere where they can experience better opportunities.I have lived in this small town for forty years and have taught at the same school for seventeen years...sooo this is a huge step for me!BUT...I do believe this to be the best thing for us- PLEASE COULD YOU SAY A PRAYER FOR US AND ESPECIALLY OUR CHILDREN! I know kids adapt better than adults do, but there are many changes that we will have to get used to.

I prayed  for so long about moving as I did not want this to be a "me" decision. As a Christian I always want to be sure that whatever I do is in Gods' will. Each time I prayed I thought of Moses in the desert...I wondered if this was Gods way of telling me I have been in a desert but the promised land awaits...BUT I also doubted if it was just my STRONG desire for a better life. I prayed that God would somehow "speak " to me....(do you also battle to "hear" Him?? LOL)

Well, the day my husband got the job in the UK, I asked God once more to let me know if we must go WELL.... He spoke clearly...I receive a daily devotion and the very next morning the verse was from Exodus (where Moses was in the desert talking to God!!ring a bell!!LOL) The verse said "If you,our God, do not go before us, we will not set a foot from this place" The lesson with the verse was all about MOVING!! I believe God gave me the sign I was looking for! Since then I have absolute peace that we are doing the right thing.I still have fears....but will get over those LOL

Thanks in advance for your support! It is a bitter/sweet time for us... leaving my beautiful country and especially my sister! but I have to do what I know is best for my children!!

It would be interesting to hear your views on our move!

Take care...love
