In regard to the audio post:
Dads: how your age can affect your fertility and your baby's health
I thought this seems a reasonable and balanced article last reviewed: May 2012.
It points out possible negatives, but in the end is in basic agreement with my former MD that is a friend and corporate colleague from Uganda.
To cite the article:
'Finally, you can comfort yourself with the fact that, while male fertility may gradually decline with the years, the majority of men will still be fertile and functioning at 60 and beyond.'
Sixty years old and beyond, so basically until near dead; yet another philosophical point against ageism.

Pinocchio, Snow White and Superman are out for a stroll in town one day. As they walk, they come across a sign: "Beauty contest for the most beautiful woman in the world."
ReplyDelete"I am entering," said Snow White.
After half an hour she comes out and they ask her, “Well, how did you do?" " First Place ," said Snow White.
They continue walking and they see a sign: "Contest for the strongest man in the world." "I'm entering," says Superman. After half an hour he returns and they ask him, "How did you make out?"
" First Place ," answers Superman. "Did you ever doubt?"
They continue walking when they see a sign: "Contest! Who is the greatest liar in the world?"
Pinocchio says "this is mine." Half an hour later, he returns with tears in his eyes.
"What happened?" they asked.
"Who the Hell is Mike Duffy?" asked Pinocchio.
ReplyDeleteThe very first ever Blonde GUY joke ... And well worth the wait !!!!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
An Irishman , a Mexican and a Blonde Guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20 th floor of a building.
They were eating lunch and the Irishman said,
"Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump off this building."
The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again! If I get Burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too."
The blond e opened his lunch and said, " Bologna again! If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too."
The next day, the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage, and jumped to his death..
The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a Burritos, and jumped, too
The blonde guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death as well.
At the funeral, the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said, "If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage , I never would have given it to him again!"
The Mexican's wife also wept and said, "I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated Burritos so much."
(Oh this is GOOD!!)?
Everyone turned and stared at the blonde's wife. The blonde's wife said,
"Don't look at me. He makes his own lunch"
Q... What happens to your body as you age
ReplyDeleteA. When you get old, so do your bowels and you get intercontinental
In the end, hunan nature, ijdividual interests aand shared objectives give us the skills to congregate andd survive.
ReplyDeleteThe staff at our office was hosting a farewell luncheon for a retiring colleague. As we prepared to go to the restaurant, we discovered that the giant balloon we purchased for the retiring 'guest of honor' wouldn't fit in the car.
ReplyDeleteDetermined to bring it along, we simply held the balloon out the window as we drove to the luncheon
location. However we weren't prepared for the glares and dirty looks we were getting from pedestrians and adjoining cars at every intersection. As the long line of traffic in front of our vehicle
began to turn, we discovered that our car was right behind a long funeral procession.
There was really nothing we could do but hold on to our balloon with its large farewell message: "GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN"

6 Ways to Become a Wiser Person
ReplyDeleteIntelligence is something, say some, we are born with.
On the other hand, wisdom, far more useful, is definitely something one can accumulate over a lifetime. Many search for ways to become wise, but few feel they have really achieved it. The Berlin Wisdom Project of the late 80s defined wisdom as:
Spiritual knowledge
ReplyDeleteFactual knowledge
ReplyDeleteExcellent judgment
ReplyDeleteExcellent problem solving skills
ReplyDeleteAbility to learn from past experience
ReplyDeleteAbility to learn from past experience
ReplyDeleteOpenness and maturity - allowing another to see you as you really are
ReplyDeleteA deeper understanding of human nature, including empathy for others and other cultures
ReplyDeleteHowever, if you don't think you embody all these qualities, there are SIX other ways to become wiser in the human experience:
ReplyDelete1. Being Social
ReplyDeleteResearch has shown that people who keep more contact with other people display higher levels of wisdom than those who remain more secluded. Some think this may be due to new people constantly giving us new ideas to think about, new information, new experiences, and this enriches the mind and gives us more wisdom. So make an effort, if not for others than for yourself. Stay in touch with old friends, go take a course, and stay in contact with those around you, it's the wise thing to do.
2. Open mindedness
ReplyDeleteWisdom is the ability to understand all aspects of a problem, without surrendering to personal feelings. The meaning of an open mind is to find true empathy and to understand that everyone has a life story that affects them in some way, and it is not our place to judge. A good habit is to write down, every day, what ails you. At the end of the day, take a look at that list and try to get a new perspective on each problem, you'll be surprised what things will come to mind.
3. "I could be mistaken"
ReplyDeleteA smart person understands that it is impossible to know everything, and that life always throws you a curve when you least expect it. Acknowledging our mistakes may, and often does, lead to greater wisdom. Remember, your ability to be wrong shouldn't damage your reputation as a wise man, but should increase it, because wise people know how to take responsibility for their mistakes. Nietzsche is quoted to have said: "Wisdom sets limits on knowledge, too.". Acknowledge the limits of your knowledge and admit when you are wrong.
4. Experiencing new things
ReplyDeleteWhile we each have our own personal tastes in books, music, art or just what is good cinema, it is important to note that getting familiar with styles unknown will broaden your horizons and introduce new world views, new ideas and new outlooks on life. So put down the novel you're reading and try a science fiction story, a history book or just a great romance. Whatever it is you almost never read, now is the time to add some real experience in things you haven't really touched on. So try something new, or learn a new skill - it won't just make you wiser, it'll also keep you young!
5. Self awareness
ReplyDeleteMany will say they have rich life experience, but when was the last time you really stopped to think of all you've learned throughout life?
Try this exercise: Write down your three biggest failures and your three biggest successes. Next to each of them write some of the events that lead to it and the lessons you learned. Look for patterns, without pride or regret, simple patterns to teach you about how you used each experience to drive you forward. After all, knowing yourself is the biggest challenge of all.
6. Know what goes on around you
ReplyDeleteYes, the news is often dramatic, misrepresented or just depressing. But it's hard to make balanced decisions for yourself and others if you don't learn from the mistakes that happen to others and to on larger scales, to your city, country and world. Keep updated, read a newspaper, watch the news or just read a news site online from time to time. Read the articles, not just headlines, and understand how you fit into this bigger world, and where you stand. This is crucial for true wisdom.
Reasonable...
ReplyDeleteI view Scripture and trusting in the triune God in Christ for wisdom as key.
Although being social is key, there is a danger of over-reliance on 'group think' because too much thought and 'wisdom' is socially relied upon, as opposed to Scripture based thought that guides the spirit. A huge problem in Western society.
