My mormon girlfriend got me a a gold necklace with a gold rectangular pendant on it with a cross cut out the middle. It's beautiful and it really compliments the neckline but the deal is I'm strictly agnostic and everyone who knows me knows it. I heard that the cross had pre-christian significance. Do you know it?

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 onNo 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 yelled for 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?!
