TODAY’S TIP(s): SENIOR’S Department
Ramps, Ditto & Ove Gloves
My mother has great difficulty walking and getting about, yet she
insists on doing her shopping, etc., on her own. My brother-in-law
built a ramp over her doorstep. It is much easier for her to walk up
the ramp (a very slight slope) than to try to get up the steps that were
there.

When taking medications, to help you remember that you took it or them.
Say it twice. Example: I have taken my x pill. I have taken my x pill.
For some reason it works.
This will work on remembering names or other things you need to do, too.

* I have arthritis in my fingers, so when I load the silverware in the
dishwasher, I always put the forks in the same holder, the knives in
one, and the spoons etc., utensils in the other two places. When the
dishwasher is done, it is easier for me to take out the silverware and
not have to sort it, to put it in the drawer.
Tim says: Tip of the week!
* The new 'Ove Gloves they have out in stores now, are great!! Since my
fingers don't bend easily, especially in an oven mitt, the gloves allow
you to really take hold of hot dishes or pans out of the oven.
Actually, we have two, because you most always need two hands to get the
job done.

Tim says: Google "ove gloves" (include the quotes) to find out more.

Why on some streets, are there 3 traffic lights and only 2 lanes of
traffic? Nobody on earth I have asked can tell me why. I know: It's
just something else to drive us simple minded folk crazy. ha

the multiple painted arrows on the road under those stop lights that
can't be seen until you drive over them.
{{{ TODAY'S LINK(s) }}}
Tim says: Okay. What the heck. "Ove Gloves"
http://www.officialseenontv.com/oveglove.html
Tim says (2): Although I don't recommend this particular site due to the
outrageous S&H fees, the link does give you a good picture of the glove.
Speaking of shipping and handling fees, one of my gripes is (okay,
grammaticians!) -- one is, gripes are) that incessant "Video Professor"
series of commercials wherein the Professor offers to send you a free CD
of your choice for a mere $6.95 shipping and handling fee. A CD produced
in bulk costs about $.25 or less, the postage, what -- a dollar?" Add a
bit for the "handling" portion and that fellow is STILL making more than
a 50% profit. With that kind of return on investment, I guarantee he
will sell you those educational CDs all day long.
gramma-ticians, n. Retired English teacher grandmothers.
Pssst! Send me more senior tips!

TODAY’S SENIOR GRIN:
One morning, a husband returns the boat to their lakeside cottage after
several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not
familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She
motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up, and begins to
read her book.
The peace and solitude are magnificent.
Along comes a Fish and Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside
her boat. "Good morning, Ma'am," he says. "What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies. "What does it look like I'm doing?"
"Ah, but you're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm READING."
"Yes, Ma'am," he agrees. He points to the rods and reels and tackle box.
"But I see you have all the equipment for fishing. For all I know you
could start at any moment. I'm sorry, but I'll have to write you up."
"If you do that," says the old woman, "I'll just have to charge you with
sexual assault."
"But I haven't even TOUCHED you!" exclaims the Game Warden.
"Ah, that may be true," says the woman. "But you have all the equipment.
For all I know you could start at any moment."
The Game Warden wisely powers away and lets the woman return to her
reading.
