I came across this exercise suggested for seniors, to build muscle
strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems fairly easy, so I thought
I'd pass it on. The article suggests doing it three days a week.

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of
room at each side. With a 5-lb. potato sack in each hand, extend your
arms straight out from your sides, and hold them there as long as you
can.

Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day, you'll find that
you can hold this position for just a bit longer.


After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb. potato sacks.


Then 50-lb. potato sacks; then eventually try to get to where you can
lift a 100-lb. potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for
a full minute.
 


Once you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each sack

You are very welcome everyone, ever since I received an AARP membership invitation a couple years ago I have no problem laughing at or sharing "Senior Humor."

Of course I declined the membership offer, I mean 50 is the new 40 isn't it?

Just in case it isn't here are a couple more;

  SENIORS ARE A TREASURE

Remember, old folks are worth a fortune,
With silver in their hair, gold in their teeth,
Stones in their kidneys, lead in their feet,
And gas in their stomachs.

and;

SENIOR LIFE ON THE HIGHWAY

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his
car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice
urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news
that there's a car going the wrong way on 280. Please be
careful."

"Hell," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's
hundreds of them!"

Those were funny! 

Is that where you get your senior jokes at,  from the AARP magazine?

I like your little green frog.

Thanks Iris!

I have a few friends who send me all kinds of funny, weird stuff and there are some at work who love to circulate these things too.

That is a tree frog, they make some weird noises at dusk, they almost sound like a duck with laryngitis.

Joe,

  Whoops, here I thought that was an alligator or something and not just a wee ittle froggie.

That's pretty funny Joe! I like the one:

"Hell," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's
hundreds of them!"
