Soft Girl Trend

 Finally some good news out of Sweden;)

 Sweden has a global reputation for championing gender equality, so why are young women embracing a social media trend that celebrates quitting work?

Yeah, why indeed?:))))

You Are Never Too Old

 to start something new:

World's Oldest Father And his S8x Life

 So presumably, the world's oldest father was this guy from India, who got his 2 sons at the age of 94 and 96, with his 49-52 year old wife.

He was a bachelor for more than 90 years of his life. Ramjit Raghav credited his success to his "healthy diet", which according to another article I read though vegetarian, included drinking lots of milk and eating ghee and almonds. 

He was especially proud that he can satisfy the needs of his wife:

‘I do it three or four times a night,’ he told reporters outside his home in Haryana, India. ‘My neighbours are jealous and they keep asking me for my secret but all I tell them is that it is God’s will.

‘I’m healthy and I enjoy sex with my wife. I think it’s very important for a husband and wife to have sex regularly and when she asks I will go on all night but for the sake of my child I’ve put our needs aside for now.

‘I care for my wife and I give her everything she needs. She is a very happy woman.’

As you can understand, British tabloids had a field day with this story.  The funny thing is that the accent is on him pleasing his wife with his performance, as in he's doing it for her, while in the West, and especially on American internet resources the common complaint is that women aren't interested and thus deprive their husbands. Marital s8x is apparently viewed as a chore and some Christian leaders even criticise men who bother their wives too much in this area. Men are told to help with household work, kids etc to "earn" their right to marital bed. 

I wonder if the roots of this rather unhealthy attitude go way back to the Victorian times when men were taught that their wives are all innocent s8xless doves who only tolerate "all this" for the joys of motherhood and men taint them with their animal passions? The rest of the world has no problems seeing women as s8xual beings though:)

It's Good To Be A Man

 Men, on the other hand, can basically procreate at any age. This is probably one of the reasons Western women so often push vasectomy on their husbands.

Al Pacino's girlfriend is a month away from giving birth to the 83-year-old actor's fourth child.

A representative of Pacino confirmed this to TMZ on Tuesday after it was reported his girlfriend, Noor Alfallah, 29, was pregnant.

Pacino already has 22-year-old twins — Oliva and Anton James Pacino — with Hollywood actress Beverly D'Angelo, and a 33-year-old daughter — Julie Marie — with acting coach, Jan Tarrant.

The news comes weeks after his 79-year-old "The Godfather" co-star Robert De Niro announced the birth of his seventh child.

 

 

A Real Life Wonder Woman

 Johanna Quaas:

 

In the meanwhile she turned 97 and still going strong. Here is a Wiki article about her.

For those too lazy to bother, here is the summary. Johanna was born in 1925 in Saxony, which later became DDR. She did sports from her youth and later became a gymnastics coach. She married rather late (at about 37), and went on to have 3 daughters.She quit doing professional sports and spent the next 20 odd years raising a family and started competing again at the age of 56. She survived her husband despite him being younger. Johanna has children, grandchildren and  great-grandchildren and is very much involved in their life. She wants to inspire other seniors to lead an active lifestyle.

Life Begins At 93?

The former US astronaut Buzz Aldrin has got married for the fourth time on his 93rd birthday.

Mr Aldrin was one of the pilots on the legendary Apollo 11 spaceflight in 1969, becoming one of the first two people to walk on the moon after the mission's commander, Neil Armstrong.

The former pilot said that he and new wife Anca Faur were as "excited as eloping teenagers"...

 "On my 93rd birthday and the day I will be honoured by Living Legends of Aviation I am pleased to announce that my long-time love Dr Anca Faur and I have tied the knot," he tweeted.

Dr Faur, 63, who has a PhD in chemical engineering, is the executive vice president of Mr Aldrin's company, Buzz Aldrin Ventures.

 I should say they both look younger than their age:

 It will be really funny if they announce she is expecting soon:)

The real question is though did he actually walk on the moon? As in did they land on the moon at all?

Did He Or Did He Not?

 Here is a fascinating story about an Indian chief said to have lived to 137. Of course, the government officials disputed it and estimated that he was between 90 and 100 years old when he died, and his wrinkled look was due to a skin condition. And we just happen to know, that the government is always right and knows what's best for you, don't we???

Chief John Smith also had 8 wives but no biological children, and adopted a son, named Tom Smith; which shows that however healthy you are (and you needed to be very healthy to live even till 100 in those conditions), you still can have this kind of problems. I just wonder whether he had all those wives one after another, or simultaneously?

Keep Calm And Eat Marmalade Sandwiches

Here is some feelgood news for you all:

a 99 year old British lady survives corona virus:

What's more, great grandmother Rita Reynolds reckons she's found the secret to defeating the infection - eating marmalade sandwiches...

Yup, if Rita survived The Blitz by hiding under her kitchen table and reading a book, she's unlikely to have been too fazed by this whole scenario.  

That's exactly the type of person who you could expect to survive this sort of thing:)

She isn't the only one and not even the olldest any more:

A 106-year-old woman has recovered from coronavirus and been released from the hospital...

“I think the secret of her old age is that she is physically active and very independent,” she continued. “She had a hip operation back in December and within 30 days she was walking again. She really is amazing and I know all the family can’t wait to see her. She has quite a few fans!”
