Where did we go WRONG?

[BIGNASTY]

The Gods gave us; Lawn Mowers, tractors and all those other labor saving things so we can get fat, enjoy life and go to the after life earlier. Just go an enjoy the Bacon Burger and stop resisting.......... Lol

There's more truth to that than you might think!! I went to the Horsepitital had a check-up. Our Doctors call with results rather than us call a recording. ( I kind of like to talk to a human rather than a machine) he said that all my blood work came back exceptional for a guy half my age. Weight wasn't a problem and asked about my Diet? I said WHAT DIET, If I see something that looks good, LIKE ANDREW ZIMMERN I EAT IT!! (Bizarre Foods)

That to me is the best part of Manual Labor type work, I don't worry about blood sugar, Cholesterol, Blood Pressure and all the other things that a sedentary life brings you as a gift for sitting on your XXX.

X2. When I go for my DOT/FAA physical the nurse always comments on th fact that at my age the only med I take is a multi vitamin. BP good, heart rate of 60, 25 lbs over wt. 4-5 hrs of physical labor each day and I consider myself blessed compared to desk jockeys. It's a great life if you don't weaken!

HA!! I always laugh when the take my blood pressure.... they always do it TWICE! They think it's messed up the first time. 110/80, or 120/90 if I'm stressed from having to go take a physical and driving in traffic..... Factor that I weigh just shy of 300 lbs, and it blows their mind!! :-laf But I can swing a 12lb sledge for 20 minutes straight, and a shovel for about 30 before I stop and take a breather... not bad seeing as I'm pushing 40, now.... Work my hired hands in the ground... they hate me some days.... Had several of them join the military after being here for a few years and graduating highschool, and they'll always call from basic... How you doing? Good, how're you? Stayin' busy... How's basic?....... Long pause, and I've had three of them tell me it's not as bad as working for me in the summer!! HA!! Love it!! They all are amazed at how hard their hands turn after a few weeks of lifting a breaker bar and driving T-posts... and they all develop a new sense of what their muscles were designed to do.... I like watching it. I really like teaching them to think for themselves and to put practice to what they read in their books....
