THE HEALTHY GEEZER - CHEWING GUM CAN CONTRIBUTE TO GAS PAINS
2008-04-21 11:00:00 Q. I get a lot of gas and someone told me it would help if I stopped chewing gum all the time (ex-smoker). That sounds like bunk to me. What do you think?A. It’s not bunk. When you chew gum, you swallow more often and some of what you're swallowing is air. In addition, artificial sweeteners such as sorbitol that is found in some gums can give you gas.But, what exactly, is gas?Most people produce between a pint and a half-gallon of gas each day. Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen from swallowed air make up a large part of gas or “flatus.” Fermenting foods in the colon produce hydrogen and methane as well as carbon dioxide and oxygen.The unpleasant odor of some flatus is the result of trace gases, such as hydrogen sulfide, indole, and skatole, which are produced when foods decompose in the colon.We release gas upwardly by belching and downwardly by flatulence. When we swallow air and don’t release it by belching, the air will work its way down and out the rectum. About half...

The Old Geezer
2008-01-31 19:19:00 While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant, and resumed their trip. When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table, and she didn't miss them until they had been driving about forty minutes. By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around, in order to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses All the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grouchy old man. He fussed and complained, and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive. The more he chided her, the more agitated he became. He just wouldn't let up one minute. To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant. As the woman got out of the car, and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled to her, "While you're in there, you might as well get my hat and the credit card."This comi...
A vision of students today: the out-of-touch geezer perspective
2007-11-28 01:06:00 Our friend Ubertramp sent along this little video, which certainly provides food for thought: There’s much to empathize with here. 19th century educational structure - check. Class sizes - check. Ludicrousness of testing models - punch that chad hard. Textbook costs? Student loan debt? Job market evolving so fast colleges can barely keep up? Check, check, and check.But there’s a tone here that troubles me. The project acknowledges a variety of problems, and does so in a way that suggests a fair-minded ambivalence in places. On the whole, though, I feel like there’s a failure to accept responsibility by the generation of students on camera. If I’m missing something let me know, but in the meantime I made a few notes. 1:19: “200 students made 367 edits to this document.” Great. How many were factually accurate? How many involved basic grammatical errors? How many displayed the sort of higher-order analytical capability that we once associated wit...

Diamond Geezer
2007-11-12 11:22:00 I recently discovered this fantastic blogger from East London, and I would have to say I enjoy his posts immensely. He doesn't pull his punches and writes about all sorts of things happening in jolly old London Town.A warning to my American friends out there, he does use the greatest of all British inventions, sarcasm, quite a bit. I know Americans sometimes don't understand sarcasm, but if you read between the lines you might just see what he is getting at!So if you want to see the side of London they leave out of the tourist books, check out the wonderful Diamond Geezer blog.

Geezer Cover Bands Give Rock Songs New Meaning
2007-06-15 21:51:00 Mick Jagger proclaimed, when he was in his 20s, that “I’d rather be dead than singing Satisfaction when I’m forty-five.” He’s taken some ribbing about that since he’s still at it nearly thirty years past that milestone. He’s a piker, though, compared to a new band taking the UK by storm whose youngest ...

Old Age : An old geezer
2007-06-06 19:43:00 An old geezer in an old people's home takes a fancy to a woman who is also staying there. One day he plucks up the courage to go and talk to her and after a while he says he would like to make love to her. She agrees that when everybody else goes on a day trip they both stay behind at the home and get down to it.The old man goes to the woman's room and asks her how she likes to be made love to. She tells him that she loves a man to go down on her and asks him if he would mind. He says he would love to do that for her and goes for it.After about 30 secs he comes back up and says that he is sorry but it just smells too bad down there. She thinks for a minute and tells him that it must be the arthritis. He looks and her confused and states that surely you can't get arthritis down there and even if you could it wouldn't cause that smell.She says "No it's the arthritis in my shoulder, I can't wipe my ass properly!"

My Inner Old Geezer
2007-01-28 06:58:01 My Inner Old Geezer (perhaps he could babysit my Inner 13 Year Old Boy?) made his debut in a big way this evening in front of Busy Girl and her friends on the way to the party. More disturbing however, is the fact that I'm hosting a cast of male characters in my brain, but, whatever. Anyway, I had no idea he was in there, until asked about a certain radio station that the kids like. Now, I like to think that I'm up on popular music, and, I like a lot of it. I can also tolerate a lot of music that's not my favorite. But, listening to satellite radio has really spoiled me for most commercial radio. However, I know the kids want to hear the station with the latest and greatest, so I usually turn it on for them, despite the fact that XM has a perfectly good similar station. But, Lord knows, she doesn't want to be different, so she doesn't listen to it in front of her friends. Busy Girl asked me, in front of her friends, if I liked her station. I started to answer, but, my Inne...
