Why Women Live Longer Than Men

This is a pretty popular forward! I received it three times in the last week, so I figured I'd better go ahead and post it while its hot. (Thanks, JJ, Jeanine, and Ken!)



Why women live longer than men !

The following photos show conclusively why it is that women tend to live longer than men.


#7
("And to think... those wimps at the power company use straps and cleats to get up this high!")



#6
("Gee, guys... that seems like an awful lot of protective gear for such a small chlorine gas leak...")



#5
(Necessity is the mother of invention...)




#4
("Jackstands? Hah! Who needs 'em?")




#3
(I'm sure this guy still wonders why he got fired that day.)



#2
Step 1: Remove shoes.
Step 2: Place metal ladder in water.
Step 3: Begin using power tools while standing barefoot on metal ladder in water.

And the winner is...



(How drunk do you have to be before this starts looking like a good idea?)

You also need to check out this video of two men and a ladder at Arbroath.

I took this life expectancy test and scored 87.89 years. Got a long way to go!

An oldie but goodie. According to The Death Clock, I need to be ready by 2051. Maybe I should open an IRA.

If you see something not working right on this blog, please contact me. I'm no geek, and I'm just learning how to do this. I also have a new computer and browser that reads my mind and and shows me what I want to see. Therefore, I see no formatting problems, even when other people do. (Thanks, Bruce and Kate!)

Thought for today: These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter.. I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I'm here after.

This post first appeared on September 8, 2005. I've been slammed with projects both online and offline. New posts will resume tomorrow.

Hey, I'm supposed to be dead in 2031. Right about the time Social Security goes kaput.

My father should have been dead in 1979. My mother in 1988. And yet, they live on ...

Thanks to Deathclock.com, I know my "due" date puts me at 73; and average female life expectancy is about or beyond 80.

Game, set, match, MissC ;-)

Just now my college and high school aged kids and I are doing most of my husband's farm work because he is laid up. (They are all still going to class too.) He was running after a cow in slippery, broken, old shoes (he knew he needed new ones...too busy to go get them) with his cuffs rolled up. Something caught on something and threw him on the ground. And he broke his shoulder... So he can't work.
We can, so we do.
I am sorry for him.
Of course
However......I have to say I LOVE this post.
It is perfectly timely and delightfully true. I am thrilled to know that such behavior is normal and even that it could be worse.
Thanks for making my morning!

Why do so many of these look like they were shot down South?

I love your site but when I go to one of the links, I freuently have difficulty getting back to you, I get a message that says Internet cannot open this page. I have to back out to the last page I viewed before yours and then get back to you, I thought it was because I usually am on an old computor but I just had it happen on my son's brand new all the bells and whistles computor.

Terentia. You are not the only one. It happens to me too. It's mpropably a feature of microsoft internet explorer.
