about how often I hear an ambulance siren. Of course, I should expect it since I live fairly close to an assistant living faculty. It makes me realize how wonderful these homes are for people who are unable to live without help. And isn’t it great how most towns/cities have nice senior centers for the ‘old’ people to have a place to escape from their house for fun and learning. And, of course, to find someone to listen to them.
OVERHEARD AT THE SENIOR CENTER
“Of course, these are my teeth. I have the receipt to prove it.”
“Have you noticed how the newspapers are using smaller print these days.”
“I’d rather be old than dead”
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Always show up.
Situations always change.
Time heals. Give it time.
There is never a reason not to be honest.
HOME REDMEDY FOR CLEANING WALLS
(Taken from East Does It)
Formula for cleaning painted walls:
*One gallon of hot water, ½ cup white vinegar, ¼ cup baking soda, 1 cup ammonia
*For hallway and stairways that get more grime and fingerprints, spray with a light coat of spray starch. It will resist marks longer and be easier to clean off.
*For non-washable wallpaper, gently use an art gum eraser.
HOME REMEDY TO REMOVE A SPLINTER
(Taken from Old Farmer’s Almanac)
For a splinter too deep to remove with as tweezer, grate a potato and wrap the potato gratings into a piece of gauze bandage. Tape the bandage with the potato on the affected area. Leave on for several hours, or overnight if possible, so the potato has time to dry. As the potato dries, it draws body fluid to it. That moisture brings the splinter closer to the surface.
