RE: Jack LaLanne on

I wonder if it was the first thing on? I turned it on at 7:30 and haven't heard anything yet.

RE: Jack LaLanne on

Usually, Jack does a special feat on his birthday, like swim a long distance pulling a weight (and either the weight or the distance corresponds to his age). Wonder what he'll do for the 90th: 90 push-ups?

Just watched it!

What a joker that guy is! It was a very short segment, but he wants to swim from Catalina Island to the mainland (can't remember what city) of California. It's 26 miles, and he wants to do it underwater with air tanks. He thinks it will take him 22-23 hours.

When he announced this, his wife ran out saying, "No he's not! It's divorce if he does! Divorce!" Then Jack said that they have been together 53 years because she is always right...but, he still plans on doing it. He's been planning it for 3 years.

And he hasn't had any sugar since 1926 I think they said. The rest was basically, exercise is king, nutrition is queen, put them together and you have a kingdom!

Wow, that's almost 80 years without sugar, that can't be healthy! LOL! He's obviously never had PMS. Ok, fine I don't have to have chocolate when I'm PMSing, it's just a great excuse.
What an amazing person he is.

Kathryn!

I think 90 push-ups would be EASIER then his planned feat! Whoaaa! He's amazing either way. http://www.mega-content.de/smilies/smilies_Picture/strichmaennchen/pushup.gif[/img]

Andi!

Thanks so much for filling me in! I wish I could have seen it. I didn't have time to set the VCR. I feel for his wife...that would make me very upset for him to attempt something soo strenuous. I can "feel" her concern. No sugar since 1926? Amazing! Love his "Kingdom" formula! Too cute! Thanks again for watching. Have you heard anything on your spinning vid yet? Let me know as soon as you hear. My order will follow immediately.

Ha! Kathy!

I agree. It certainly CAN'T be healthy! Maybe if he'd overdose on it just once in awhile, he'd live to be 150??? We can only wish, eh? Enjoy your chocolate! :9
