Transcript:
Dad: "I'm gonna start working out" Mom: "I think I've heard this before" Dad: "I mean it. Know what's motivating me?" Mom: "The mirror? Your pants?" Dad: "Our son getting engaged. We may have a grandchild soon. That means lifting, crawling, climbing, running... I need to get in shape for all that. I want to be a FUN grandpa!" Dad: "Think I'll knock out a couple dozen push-ups right now" Dad: "UNGHHHH! one. UNGHHHH!" Dad: "It's also fun when a grandpa just sits and reads to his grandchild..." Mom: "Yes, it is"

Appears that now is not a good time for Nancy to engage Frank in any ‘hanky – panky’…^He missed out on a workout….

Also adding these songs to the Kinks (in view of Frank’s pre-emptive enthusiasm for “natural consequences” of B&Ts upcoming wedding-wink winkm and his desire to get in shape):

Lol! Especially the last verse! – That was on the lost master tapes… those lyrics were actually meant to be the last verse of the song.

It’s not just what you do, Frank; it’s repetitions, and right now you look about to pass out. Start slow. Build up. Don’t give up. Nancy, it wouldn’t hurt for you to join in….

Frank, you’ll never be the “fun” anything. This kid is going to have enough problems as it is, with Dad Brad.

Looks like someone is remembering their youth, quite fondly…. me too… ;-) Wacky Packages – Weakies
Anyway, Exam 2 of 2 is this Tuesday… Going back into “cloaked/study” mode. See y’all Tues. afternoon, hopefully. :-)

I’m a girl and I can do way more than 1 ‘boy’ push-up.Maybe you should go back to Girl push-ups, Frank.

We have some very educated, very respectable, very congenial folk there… – We have fellow posters here who represent NC very well! I also have family from there, and during my travels to there, it was quite the refreshment! It was as if there was a time warp anomaly, and people were more easygoing and mannerly… it was a refreshing change of pace coming from the “madness” of the general major metropolitan area…

Gotta love how when people get married the first thing their parents think about is grandkids.
JayBluE about 11 years ago
It’s Sunday, Donny… lots going on, family day, etc… nice day to take it slow, even… – Also quite possible that some are doing what my wife and I are, enjoying the NFL…. thought I’d take a quick peek, here…

When you have grandkids living with you, there’s no time to exercise between running after them and keeping them off your computer and out of the cracker drawer and off the table and in their high chairs while you feed them and changing diapers and trying to get them to nap.

“You Better Run,” by The Rascals“Jump (For Your Love),” by The Pointer Sisters– 1) Would like to add “You Better Run” by Pat Benatar (was also a hit for her when the PB band covered it…), and also “Run Run Away” by Firefall2) Title is Jump (For My Love) by PSs..Interestingly, they were going to leave it as “Jump” but had to add the line from the song to make the title, as Van Halen also had “Jump” in the same year, 1984/85….

I’m now 76 and still very fit (working out with weights to stay strong) but I enjoyed reading to the grandkids (I have 6 from my 4 kids) when I could catch them while they were the reading to age. The last vaca. they did a lot of tubing (I watched from the shade- I won’t even use my pool in bright sun) not good for the skin! I am planning next trip to include some biking and zip-gliding (I almost signed up for a local pkg for practice – but zip and rappelling were OK; the high “leap of faith” is something I do NOT choose to do -least of all with strangers).

Mayberry, NC….. hmm…. I don’t know about that…. won’t work… JK, Lol!– And even in the larger cities, there is the mix of metro living, but yet also very mannerly, and not rushing everywhere or knocking people over… was just outside of Wilmington, NC (40 min. away from Myrtle Beach, SC) and even at the Wal-Mart and the malls and Shopping Centers, it was very calm…. and oddly many that I’ve met there (apart from any family) all came from up north, and in particular, my neck o’ the woods…

I have a heck of a time balancing on a bike for whatever reason, so I rely on my Irish Setter to take me for a walk/run every day. Maybe Frank should take Puddles for a walk everyday and slowly work up to riding a bike or running or even push-ups… ;)

There are other forms of exercise appropriate to the bedroom, Frank. Real calorie burners, too.
