All tag results for 'seniors'

Backgammon and bingo are not the only games senior citizens can play!!

The Veteran Games are currently going on in San Sebastein, Spain, which allows seniors to compete in athletic events, and just when we thought that these super seniors don't try their hardest, they proved us wrong!!

In the clip (above) 95-year-old Ilmari Koppinen and 94-year-old Emiel Pauwels battled it out in a 60-meter sprint, and while we were peeping the video, they showed us that age has not taken away their ability to run fassst!!

Emiel ended up winning the race, and we think it was because he's a year younger. LOLz

Ch-ch-check out the clip (above)!

We'll pretty much believe whatever Jane Fonda tells us at this point, because girl has eaaaarned it!

Plus, she's 100% right: staying active is one of the most important parts of aging. We've seen it over and over again how someone who was very healthy starts to decline fast the moment they retire — unless they keep up the pace!

Jane says that exercise itself is the most important part of her daily routine as she ages, and at 75 while looking like that… we believe her!!

Two senior women at a small California eldercare home were killed after eating toxic mushroom soup.

The California Department of Social Services is investigating the case, but not releasing many details.

Apparently, a caretaker found several wild mushrooms in the facility's backyard and made them into a soup that she then fed to residents.

She even ate some herself.

The soup landed six people in the hospital, with two of them actually dying!

A lot of people think that getting old sucks — and it's true, your body might become less and less mobile, but studies beginning to emerge that the older the brain gets, the more creative and innovative it becomes!

If you take a look at Debbie Downer research, you see claims of it becoming harder to learn things and slower reaction times after you cross the middle-age threshold.

That might not entirely be the case

This is something people don't just automatically think about: old people get their smang on more and more these days!

We're talking seniors. We're talking technology, and longer life expectancy. We're talking the elderly gettin' it on!

This is great news on one hand — who wouldn't want to still be… lively… at that age — but on the other hand, this means STDs are becoming more of a problem for seniors!

Enter SaferSex4Seniors and their hilarious PSA that's been getting a lot of attention.

Think of it as Kama Sutra For Grandparents! LOLz!

Check out the full PSA (above)!!

Hopefully they'll return in a spin-off or something!

Last month, Ryan Murphy spoke about season three of Glee, and it was sounding as though it would be the last season for those whose characters will be graduating.

Now, the series creator has confirmed that Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, and Cory Monteith will not return for the show's fourth season! Sad!

He explains:

"You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticize you for not being realistic, or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year."

"We’ve never done anything by the book. We made that decision and I involved Chris and Lea and they thought that was a good idea. They both trust the writing and trust me and felt that it would be great to have an open and closed experience for them to go out while they were on top."

"We already made the decision before the new writers came in, but everybody likes where we’re taking it and what we’re writing toward."

MINOR SPOILER ALERT: Here's Ryan on his plans for Lea in season three:

"I’m much more interested in Lea’s character — not so much on her relationship with Finn, but more on what her dreams are beyond high school and how she plans on getting them. That’s what my senior year was about."

As disappointing as it will be to see these characters go, we totally respect and appreciate what Ryan's trying to do here. It would be pret-ty lame if they tried to figure out ways to keep everyone around, even though they're graduating.

Plus, we have no doubt we'll be seeing PLENTY more of Lea, Chris, and Cory! We just hope they'll be back, in one way or another.

What do U think?? Will U be sad to say goodbye to Rachel, Finn, and Kurt?
