This could be a bit scary, but I guess we need to know. . .
Your Yearly Dementia Test:
It ' s that time of year for us to take our annual senior citizen test.
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it ' s important to keep mentally alert. If you don ' t use it, you lose it!
Below is a very private way to gauge how your memory compares to the last test. Some may think it is too easy but the ones with memory problems may have difficulty. Take the test presented here to determine if you ' re losing it or not.
The spaces below are so you don ' t see the answers until you ' ve made your answer.
OK, relax, clear your mind and begin...
1. What do you put in a toaster
Answer: ' bread. ' If you said ' toast ' give up now and do something else..
Try not to hurt yourself!
If you said, bread, go to Question 2.
2.Say ' silk ' five times. Now spell ' silk. ' What do cows drink?
Answer: Cows drink water. If you said ' milk, ' don ' t attempt the next question. Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature such as Auto World.
However, if you said ' water ' , proceed to question 3.
3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?
Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said ' green bricks, ' why are you still reading these???
If you said ' glass, ' go on to Question 4.
4.Without using a calculator –
You are driving a busfrom London to
Milford-Haven in Wales .
In London , 17 people get on the bus.
In Reading , 6 people get off the bus and 9 people get on.
In Swindon , 2 people get off and 4 get on.
In Cardiff , 11 people get off and 16 people get on.
In Swansea , 3 people get off and 5 people get on.
In Carmarthen , 6 people get off and 3 get on.
You then finally arrive at Milford-Haven....
Without scrolling back to review, how old is the bus driver?
Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!
Don ' t you remember your own age?
It was YOU driving the bus!!
If you pass this along to your friends, pray they do better than you...!!
PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!!

Just how true this is folks.
Just how true this is folks Al
A few years after I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our
town.
From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and
soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted
and was around from then on.
As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young mind,
he had a special niche. My parents were complementary instructors: Mum
taught me good from evil, and Dad taught me to obey. But the stranger...
he was our storyteller. He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with
adventures, mysteries and comedies.
If I wanted to know anything about politics, history or science, he always
knew the answers about the past, understood the present and even seemed
able to predict the future! He took my family to the first NHL hockey
game.
He made me laugh, and he made me cry. The stranger never stopped talking,
but Dad didn't seem to mind.
Sometimes, Mum would get up quietly while the rest of us were shushing
each other to listen to what he had to say, and she would go to the kitchen
for peace and quiet.
(I wonder now if she ever prayed for the stranger to leave.)
Dad ruled our household with certain moral convictions, but the stranger
never felt obligated to honour them. Profanity, for example, was not
allowed in our home - not from us, our friends or any visitors. Our long
time visitor, however, got away with four-letter words that burned my ears
and made my dad squirm and my mother blush. My Dad didn't permit the
liberal use of alcohol but the stranger encouraged us to try it on a
regular basis. He made cigarettes look cool, cigars manly, and pipes
distinguished.
He talked freely (much too freely!) about sex. His comments were
sometimes blatant, sometimes suggestive, and generally embarrassing..
I now know that my early concepts about relationships were influenced
strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed the values of my
parents, yet he was seldom rebuked... And NEVER asked to leave.
More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our
family. He has blended right in and is not nearly as fascinating as he was
at first. Still, if you could walk into my parents' den today, you would
still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen
to him talk and watch him draw his pictures.
His name?....
We just call him 'TV.'
(Note: This should be required reading for every household!)
He has a wife now....we call her 'Computer.'
Their first child is Cell Phone... Second child is I Pod... Third child is Blackberry..........

Some interesting ideas on honey
Cinnamon & honey spread for toast is great!
Here's another of those miracle cures. Want to try it?
Honey is the only food on the planet that will
not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to
sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left
in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I
rather call "crystallizing"
When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some
water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, off the
heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was.
Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. Todo so will kill the enzymes in the honey
Cinnamon and Honey
~ Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around.~
Facts on Honey and Cinnamon:
It is found that a mixture of honey and
Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of
the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept
honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases.
Honey can be used without any side effects for
any kind of diseases.
Today's science says that even though honey
is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it
does not harm diabetic patients.
Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in
its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list
of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as
researched by western scientists:
HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder,
apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it
regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the
arteries and saves the patient from heart attack.
Also, those who have already had an attack, if
they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from
the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves
loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat.
In America and Canada , various nursing homes
have treated patients successfully and have found that as
you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and
get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and
veins.
ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and
night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one
small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even
chronic arthritis can be cured.
In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen
University , it was found that when the doctors treated
their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and
half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found
that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated,
practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and
within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk
or move around because of arthritis started walking without
pain.
BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one
teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it.
It destroys the germs in the bladder.
CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of
Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a
cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of
cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours.
As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken
three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured.
According to information received in the said Journal, pure
honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of
cholesterol.
COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds
should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon
cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure
most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.
UPSET STOMACH:
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach
ache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root.
GAS:
According to the studies done in India and
Japan , it is revealed that if Honey is taken with cinnamon
powder the stomach is relieved of gas.
IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder
strengthens the immune system and protects the body from
bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey
has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use
of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight
bacterial and viral diseases.
INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of
honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the
heaviest of meals.
INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey
contains a natural ' Ingredient' which kills the
influenza germs and saves the patient from flu..
LONGEVITY:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when
taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take four
spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder, and three
cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup,
three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft
and arrests old age. Life spans also increase and even a 100
year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.
PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of
cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples
before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If
done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.
SKIN INFECTIONS:
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal
parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all
types of skin infections.
WEIGHT LOSS:
Daily in the morning one half hour before
breakfast on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping,
drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water..
If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most
obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not
allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the
person may eat a high calorie diet.
CANCER:
Recent research in Japan and Australia has
revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have
been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds
of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one
teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three times a day.
FATIGUE:
Recent studies have shown that the sugar
content of honey is more helpful rather than being
detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens,
who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are
more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has
done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in
a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken
daily after brushing and in the afternoon at
about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body
starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body
within a week.
BAD BREATH:
People of South America , first thing in the
morning, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon
powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh
throughout the day.
HEARING LOSS:
Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon
powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing. Remember when
we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon
sprinkled on it!
