A man in a bar sees a friend at a table, drinking by himself.

Approaching the friend he comments, "You look terrible. What's the problem?"

"My mother died in August," he said, "and left me $25,000."

"Gee, that's tough," he replied.

"Then in September," the friend continued, "My father died, leaving me $90,000."

"Wow. Two parents gone in two months. No wonder you're depressed."

"And last month my aunt died, and left me $15,000."

"Three close family members lost in three months? How sad."

"Then this month," continued, the friend, "absolutely nothing!"

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE

1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.

They took aspirin, ate soft cheese, shell fish, and didn't get tested for diabetes.


Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking .

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.


Riding 2 up on your bike was a way of life.


We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.


We shared a bottle of pop with four friends, all drank from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank fizzy drinks with SUGAR in it, but we weren't overweight because......


WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!! NOT IN FRONT OF A TV AND PLAYING VIDEO GAMES!!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.


No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.


We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem .

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no text messaging, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!





We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents .

We played with worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

The boys were given toy guns for their 10th birthdays,

made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out anyones eyes.



We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!


The local team had tryouts and not everyone got in. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!


This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!


The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.


We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned


HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT ALL!


And YOU are one of them!

CONGRATULATIONS!


You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.


and while you are at it, forward it to anyone born from 1980 onwards so they will know how brave you are!!!

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!

In most cases, nearly always, the server is doing the best that he/she can, it's the kitchen crew cooking the meal that determines how soon the food is done. The server's job is to take it from the line out to the customer. Why do servers get blamed for a sluggish or inefficient cook or for a busy restaurant that the cooks can't keep up with?

I'm thinking of targeting it towards Lincoln or Mercury. The Luxor is slightly larger than the Ford Expedition Base, and has many standard features. I will mention them in additional info.

Thousands of fire safety leaflets in Scotland have been withdrawn because a wrong translation in the leaflet's Urdu version.

The leaflet's English version reads: "Never jump straight out of a window. Lower yourself on to cushions, etc."

But language experts charged with putting the passage into Urdu - there is a large minority in Scotland speaking the language - mixed 'gadda' (cushion) with a 'gadha' (donkey) in translating it.

This resulted in the translation "Never jump out of a window straight. Put yourself on a donkey."

I haven't been using any different cleansers or anything and no other places on my face is like this. It's red and rough feeling. Anyone have any solutions for this
