How To Know You Are Growing Old
Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt doesn't work.
The gleam in your eye is from the sun hitting your bifocals.
You feel like the morning after and you haven’t been
anywhere.
Your little black book contains only names ending in M.D.
You get winded playing cards.
You join a health club and don’t go.
You know all the answers, but nobody asks you the
questions.
You look forward to a dull evening.
You need glasses to find your glasses.
You turn out the lights for economic reasons rather than
romantic ones.
You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
Your knees buckle but your belt won’t.
Your back goes out more than you do.
You have too much room in the house and not enough in
the medicine chest.
You sink your teeth in a steak and they stay there.
YOU WONDER WHY MORE PEOPLE DON’T
USE THIS SIZE PRINT.

But I really don't mind when I think with a grin
Of all the places my get-up has been.
Since I’ve retired from life’s competition, I busy myself with
complete repetition.
ANSWER Vernon Bryant wanted a formula for old
fashioned whitewash or a new one that will last and look really
good. Thanks to M.V.Runklers 111, Parkton, Md., who writes
that he has log and stone outbuildings that he whitewashes on
a regular basis. He uses autoclaved lime (the lime that
plasterers use for the the white coat) as it has less stones and
other impurities in it. He mixes it with milk instead of water. He
puts it on with a 4 or 5 inch horsehair brush and finds that two
thin coats lasts longer than one thick coat.
Thanks also to Carol Pretz, Middleburg, who found this
whitewash in a very old book, which stated that it makes very
good whitewash that is permanent: V 6 bushel lime soaked
with boiling skim milk, 3, quarts salt.
For inside walls, dissolve one pound white glue in water.

MY GET UP AND GO
How do I know my youth is all spent?
Well, my get-up-and-go just got up and went,
But in spite of it all, I’m able to grin.
When I think of where my get-up has been.
Old age is golden, so I've heart it said,
But sometimes I wonder as I get into bed,
With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup,
My eyes on the table until I wake up.
Ere sleep dims my eyes I say to myself,
“Is there anything else should have laid on the shelf?"
But I am happy to say as I close my door,
My friends are the same, perhaps even more.
When I was young, my slippers were red,
And I could kick my heels right over my head;
When I grew older, my slippers were blue,
And I could dance the whole night through.
Now, I am old, my slippers are black;
I walk to the corner and then I walk back.
The reason I know my youth is all spent,
Is my get-up-and-go just got up and went.
I get up each morning, dust off my wits,
Pick up the paper and read the obits,
If my name is missing, I know I’m not dead,
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed.
Mrs. Helen Mary Beavers
