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



They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.



Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored
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 in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.



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



We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE
actually died from this.



We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but
we weren't overweight because

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!


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

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,
made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

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

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. 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 your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.

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

If you were given samples of white and dog hair could you honestly tell the difference?

This is not meant as a racist question. I'm just curious as to what the majority of you think?

This girl rejected me by ignoring me up until now (1 month).

I saw her at school, and I gave her the dirtiest look in the world.

Should I appologise to her, or does she deserve that?

The reason for my confusion is because I was good friends with her before I told her my feelings and I am heart broken. I feel terrible.

Doesn't Isaiah predict that the savior (who would overthrow Rome) would be born of an almah? And while Paul believed that translates to virgin, it in fact does not?

I live alone and not in a very good area to get out in and I depend on public transport which is about to restructure fares which means no more passes and less getting out and going for me. My friends are all work related and have their own lives so we never get together outside work. I have many interests but my life is pretty routine with no real "fun" things going on. I work, go to the store, go to the bank, etc. When I am talking to a guy they always ask what I like to do for fun and I am blank because I don't do anything for fun anymore. I don't like to get out by myself and don't have the money to do much. I don't want to sound like a bore to them and very much want to go out and do stuff but I just need someone special to do it with. What's the best way to get that point across without sounding like I have no life, even though I don't?
