TIME TO START WALKING!!!!

Interesting observations by Psychiatrist Dr. Frank Caprio.
He gives the following breakdown:

HOW YOU UNDRESS...

REVEALS YOUR PERSONALITY

*** Which type are you? ***




HAPHAZARD UNDRESSER

If you throw your clothes all over the house, you are a friendly, life-of-the-party type.
You are: free with your thoughts and opinions, not caring much about what others think of you.





METICULOUS UNDRESSER

If you remove each piece of clothing and put it away carefully, you are a serious person who likes life very calm.
You are: comfortable with routine and you believe that the best way to deal with life's problems is to prevent them in the first place.





SHOES AND SOCKS FIRST UNDRESSER

You methodically remove your shoes and socks beforeyou begin undressing.
You are: a perfectionist, a bit shy, observant, dependable, intense and think before making decisions. You go about your tasks methodically, with concentration. You know how to pay attention.





SLOW UNDRESSER

You take off the shirt and ten minutes later get around to taking off your pants or skirt.
You are: extremely self-confident, intellectual, a deep thinker and don't like to be hassled. Usually you like a lot of free time for yourself.







FAST UNDRESSER

You get out of your clothes as quickly as possible.
You are: concerned about others and what they expect from you but you're worried about your own needs. You are family-oriented and stay extremely busy.





JEWELRY OFF FIRST UNDRESSER

You take off your rings, watch, etc. before anything else.
You are: warm, thoughtful, sensitive and romantic.





NEVER THE SAME WAY UNDRESSER

You never undress the same way twice.
You are: a very curious, interesting person and you enjoy a broad range of activities. You take risks and enjoy fun and adventure.

Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.

Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.

Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables.

During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.

Be happy to see him.

Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.

Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.

Don't greet him with complaints and problems.

Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.

Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.

Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.

Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

A good wife always knows her place.


An actual article of the HOUSEKEEPING MONTHLY on May 13, 1955

They HAD to be kidding, right!!

1. Try everything twice. On Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and Madam) she said she wanted this epitaph: Tried everything twice...loved it both times!

2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down. (keep this In mind if you are one of those grouches)

3. Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,
whatever. Never let the brain get idle.
"An idle mind is the devil's workshop."
And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and Lots of time with HIM/HER.

6. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.

We are Valuable

We are more valuable than any
of the younger generations:

We have silver in our hair.
We have gold in our teeth.
We have stones in our kidneys.
We have lead in our feet.
and ...
We are loaded with natural gas.
