Title: WALKING....
Post by: GrayBeard on July 14, 2010, 11:25:54 am

Walking can have many benefits...

Walking can add minutes to your life!
This enables you at age 85 to spend an additional FIVE months in a nursing home at only $7,000 per month!

Grampa started walking 5 miles a day when he turned 65. He is now 82 and we have no idea where the heck he is!

The only reason I would take up walking is so I could hear 'heavy breathing' again!

I really enjoy long walks....especially when they are taken by someone who annoys the heck out of me!

I can only walk early in the morning...before my Brain figures out what I am doing!

     I once had someone tell me ,walking was good for ya. Then I joined the Army - I guess that person was NEVER in the Army.....Vince

     But I did learn how to, hurry up and wait - very well. VF

I quote Frank Sinatra:

walk on, walk on, walk on,   You never walk alone........
who is that behind me saying that I should walk on?

I wish I walked alone  ;) at least without my mother in law  8)

I like walking, I can watch it for hours :D

Someone once said to me, "Exercise will allow you to live longer."  I replied, "Yeah, but the extra time I live I'd have spent exercising."

$7000 a month for a nursing home. I saw somewhere that you could be on a cruise ship with room service and travel the world cheaper than that. As long as you can move, and "remember where your room is" that would be cool in your last days. ha...
