A couple was delighted when their long wait to adopt a baby came to an end.

 The adoption center called and told them that there was a wonderful Russian baby boy available. The couple accepted him without hesitation.

On the way home from the adoption center, they stopped by the local college so they each could enroll in night courses. After they filled out the forms, the registration clerk inquired, "What ever possessed you to study Russian?"

The couple said proudly, "We just adopted a Russian baby. In a year or so, when he begins to talk, we want to be able to understand him."

Have Your Seen My Grandpa?

The computer swallowed grandpa.
Yes. Honestly, it's true,
He pressed 'control' and enter
And disappeared from view.
 
It's devoured him completely,
The thought just makes me squirm.
Maybe he's caught a virus
Or been eaten by a worm
 
I've searched through the recycle bin
And files of every kind,
I've even used the internet
But nothing I could find.
 
I asked Yahoo in desperation
My searches to refine,
The reply from him was negative
Not a thing was found on line.
 
So if someday in your inbox
My grandpa you should see,
Please 'Scan', 'Copy', and 'Paste' him
In an email back to me.

Tips for Positive Aging
  • Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight, height, let the doctor worry about them. That's why we pay him/her.
  • Keep learning: About computers, crafts, bridge, gardening, whatever. NEVER let the brain get idle.
  • Enjoy at least one simple thing each day.
  • Laugh often, loud and long.
  • Remember, tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on.  The only person who is with us our entire life is ourselves.
  • While you are alive, BE alive.
