Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
As the Class of 1964 is ending their Reunion Weekend in such splendiferous
fashion, some might even say, "saving the best for last," I thought this the
only appropriate song for today.

From
Wayne
Stokes
('65) of VA to
Linda May Bond Crayton ('66) of VA - 10/10/09:
Thank you, Wayne
Honey, no changes are planned for that system!
From Joan
Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 10/10/09 - "Perks of Reaching 50":
Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you, too. Don't laugh.... It is all true!
Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 AND Heading towards 70!
1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
2. In a hostage situation, you are likely to be released first.
3. No one expects you to run -- anywhere.
4. People call at 9 PM and ask, 'Did I wake you?'
5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
7. Things you buy now won't wear out.
8. You can eat supper at 4 PM.
9. You can live without sex but not your glasses.
10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.
13. You sing along with elevator music.
14. Your eyes won't get much worse.
15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
17.
Your secrets
are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
18.
Your supply
of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size.
19.
You can't
remember who sent you this list.
And you notice
these are
all in big print for
your convenience.....
ONE MORE THING:
Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill, and a laxative on the same night!
PAINED GIGGLES!!!
Thanks, Joan!
From
John London
(Warwick HS - '57) of VA - 10/10/09 - "Bayer":
I am typically conservative about forwarding e-mail, but sometimes one comes along that is IMO important and useful - I think this is one of those.
Please excuse
if you received more that one of this; it's due to my laziness and general
sloth.
\ John London
______________________________
.\~ Mark Twain
Were all getting to that age
I had heard the information about aspirin. Had no idea about the new Bayer. Sounds smart to have on hand.
Something new from Bayer!!
Something that we can do to help ourselves. Nice to know. Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve under the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets.
Why keep
aspirin
by your bedside?
About Heart Attacks
There are other symptoms of an heart attack besides
the pain
on the left arm. One
must also be aware of
an intense pain on the chin,
as well as nausea
and lots of sweating,
however these symptoms may also occur less frequently.
Note:
There may be no pain in the chest during a heart attack.
The majority of
people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep, did not wake up.
However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.
If that happens,
immediately dissolve
two aspirins
in your mouth
and swallow them with a bit of water.
Afterwards:
-
phone a neighbor
or a
family member who lives very close by.
-
say
"heart attack!"
-
say that you have
taken 2 aspirins.
-
take a seat on a
chair or sofa near the front
door, and wait for their arrival and....
~
do NOT lie down
~
A Cardiologist has stated that,
if each person, after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one
life can be saved!
I
have already shared the information- - What about you?
Do forward
this message; it may save lives!
Thank you so very much, John!
I knew about the benefits of aspirin, but I'd not heard of the newest variety,
nor had I EVER heard the advice to NOT LIE DOWN!!! I'd also recommend that
we keep our cell phones on our person whenever possible - particularly those who
live alone!
From
Wayne
Stokes
('65) of VA - 10/10/09 - "ENJOY THE RIDE":
This has made the rounds previously, but is worthy of another read:-)
George Carlin was not only one of the greatest comedians, but he was also so brilliant. Read this and pass it on!!
Enjoy the ride. There is no return ticket.
George Carlin
on aging!?
(Absolutely Brilliant)
IF YOU DON'T READ THIS TO THE VERY END, YOU HAVE LOST A DAY IN YOUR LIFE - AND
WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED, DO AS I AM DOING AND SEND IT ON.
George Carlin's Views on Aging?
Do you realize that the only time in our
lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years
old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a
half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on
five! That's the key.
You get into your teens, now they can't
hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You
could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your
life!
You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!?
But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what
happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him
out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's
changed??
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then
you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you
know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.
But! Wait!!!
You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you
would!?
So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40,
REACH 50 and make it to 60.
You've built up so much speed that
you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!?
You get into!
your 80's and every day is a
complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't
end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I was JUST
?
92.'
Then a strange thing happens. If you make
it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a
half!!?
HOW TO
STAY YOUNG
1.Throw
out nonessential numbers.
This
includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why
you pay them.
2.
Keep only cheerful
friends.
The grouches
pull you down.
3.
Keep
learning.
Learn
more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let
the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'
And the devil's family name is
Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy
the simple things.
5.
Laugh often,
long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6.The
tears happen.
Endure,
grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our
entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround
yourself with what you love,
whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your
home is your is refuge .
8. Cherish your health: If
it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you
can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt
trips.
Take a trip
to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the
guilt is
10.
Tell the
people you love that you love them,
at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS
REMEMBER:
Life is not
measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the
moments that take our breath away.
...We all
need to live life to its fullest each day!!
From Carol Collier
Sparrow ('63) of VA - 10/10/09 - "Life Thoughts by Ducky":
LIFE THOUGHTS BY DUCKY
|
Marriage changes passion. Suddenly you're in bed with a relative. |
I saw a woman wearing a sweat
shirt with 'Guess' on it. |
How come we choose from just two people to run for president and over fifty for Miss America ? | Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants. |
| I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose fitting clothing. If I HAD any loose fitting clothing, I wouldn't have signed up in the first place! | When I was young we used to go 'skinny dipping,' now I just 'chunky dunk.' | Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference. | Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over? AMEN, AMEN !! |
| Why is it that our children can't read a Bible in school, but they can in prison? |
Wouldn't you know it.... Brain cells come and brain cells go, but FAT cells live forever. |
Why do I have to swear on the Bible in court when the Ten Commandments cannot be displayed outside? |
Bumper sticker of the year: |
And
remember: life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end,
the faster it goes.
Ya just might want to pass this along....
"Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
- Leonardo da Vinci

FINALLY:
From ArcaMax Jokes - 10/10/09:
A Noise...
My wife has not spoken to me in three days. I think it has something to do with
what happened on Sunday night when she thought she heard a noise downstairs.
She nudged me and whispered, "Wake up, wake up!"
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"There are burglars in the kitchen. I think they're eating the tuna casserole I
made tonight."
"That'll teach them!" I replied.
*************
Race Horses
Several racehorses are in a stable. One on them starts boasting about his track
record. "Of my last 15 races," he says, "I've won eight."
Another horse breaks in, " Well I've won 19 of my last 27!"
"That's good, but I've taken 28 of 36, " says another, flicking his tail.
At this point, a greyhound who's been sitting nearby listening says, "I don't
mean to boast, but of my last 90 races, I've won 88."
The horses are clearly amazed. "WOW," says one horse after a prolonged silence,
"a talking dog!"
*************
New Shower
In search of a new shower for our home, my wife and I went to a bathroom-supply
store.
We discussed our needs with a young saleswoman. Since it was near closing time,
we had to curtail our discussion and made plans to come back the next day to
make our final decision.
Later that evening, my wife and I were at a restaurant, where the same young
lady from the bathroom-supply store was now working a shift as a waitress.
As she passed our table, she suddenly recognized us and called to me in a loud
voice, "HEY! You're the man who needs a shower!"

Save the Best for Last
Written by
Phil Galdston, Wendy Waldman and
Jon Lind
Recorded by
Vanessa Williams,
1992
(b. 18 Mar 1963)
Sometimes the snow
comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
You went and saved the best for last
