where Gene Krupa has that fantastic drum solo? The one that has been used in many movies and other types of media? Somehow it just got stuck in my head?

The type of mood where everybody ought to stay out of your way? You're dealing with issues you have little control over, and you know everything will work out at some point? You don't necessarily want to be in this mood, but you know you're in a mood and don't even want people around? Tell me about it, then please make me laugh.

Several of us tried it, in the one and only phone booth in our little old home town. We managed to pile 6 or 8 of us into the booth, close the door - then braaaaap, one of the guys inside farted. The door flew open in a quick hurry, and we all flew out of that booth in half a second with shouts of, "a jeez, man, stink, let me outta here, aaaagh I'm gonna die." The old timers across the street got a good laugh out of it.

This actually came from my wife's grandma ("nana") -- any of these men sound familiar?

She gets up in the morning with Will Power.
Next she sits down and spends a little time with John.
Charley Horce is the next one to visit.
Her favorite, Arthur Eyetis, goes with her from joint to joint.
Finally, she goes back to bed with Ben Gay.

Raiders of the Lost Ark: "Snakes...why did it have to be snakes?"

Dead Poets Society: "Boys, you must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all. Thoreau said, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation." Don't be resigned to that. Break out!"

I just had ESPN on and they were talking about the Jones Town Massacre, it was 29 years ago in Nov. I remember it as I was in another state helping my sis in law with her new baby. I remember the news coverage said around 400 died today they said almost a thousand died and I never in all these years knew that Jim Jones was black. Did you know these facts as I saw them today?

Looking back, it's hard to believe that we've lived this long...

As children we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

Our baby cribs were painted with bright colored lead based paint. We often chewed on the crib, ingesting the paint.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes we had no helmets.

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

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.

We played dodge ball and sometimes the ball would really hurt!

We played with toy guns, cowboys and Indians,army, cops robbers, and used our fingers to simulate guns when the toy ones or the BB gun was not available.

We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank sugar soda, but we were never overweight; we were always outside playing.

Some students weren't as smart as others or didn't work hard so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade. That generation produced some of the greatest risk-takers and problem solvers.

We had the freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pool, the term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system.

We all took gym, not PE... and risked permanent injury with a pair of high top Ked's (only worn in gym) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors.

I can't recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now.

Every year, someone taught the whole school a lesson by running in the halls with leather soles on linoleum tile and hitting the wet spot. How much better off would we be today if we only knew we could have sued the school system.

Speaking of school, we all said prayers and the pledge (amazing we aren't all brain dead from that), and staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention for about the next two weeks.

Schools didn't offer 14 year olds an abortion or condoms (we wouldn't have known what either was anyway) but they did give us a couple of baby aspirin and cough syrup if we started getting the sniffles. What an archaic health system we had then. Remember school nurses? Ours wore a hat and everything.

I just can't recall how bored we were without Computers, PlayStation, Nintendo, or Cable TV. I must be repressing that memory as I try to rationalize through the denial of the dangers could have befallen us as we trekked off each day about a mile down the road to some guy's vacant 20, built forts out of branches and pieces of plywood, made trails, and fought over who got to be the Lone Ranger. What was that property owner thinking, letting us play on that lot? He should have been locked up for not putting up a fence around the property, complete with a self-closing gate and an infrared intruder alarm.

Oh yeah... and where was the Benadryl and sterilization kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed!

We played king of the hill on piles of gravel left on vacant construction sites and when we got hurt, mom pulled out the 48 cent bottle of mercurochrome and then we got butt-whooped. Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10-day dose of a $49 bottle of antibiotics and then mom calls the attorney to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat.

We didn't act up at the neighbor's house either because if we did, we got butt-whooped there too... and then we got butt-whooped again when we got home.

Mom invited the door to door salesman inside for coffee.

Our music had to be left inside when we went out to play and I am sure that I nearly exhausted my imagination a couple of times when we went on two week vacations. I should probably sue the folks now for the danger they put us in when we all slept in campgrounds in the family tent.

Summers were spent behind the push lawnmower and I didn't even know lawn mowers came with motors until I was 13 and we got one without an automatic blade-stop or an auto-drive.

How sick were my parents? Of course my parents weren't the only psychos. I recall a neighbor coming over and doing his tricks on the front stoop just before he fell off. Little did his mom know that she could have owned our house. Instead she picked him up and swatted him for being such a goof. It was a neighborhood run amuck.

To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a dysfunctional family. How could we possibly have known that we needed to get into group therapy and anger management classes?

We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills, that we didn't even notice that the entire country wasn't taking Prozac! How did we ever survive?????

It seems were were less germophic and built up our resistance to many illnesses. Aside from ear infections and regular old colds we seemed fine. The younger ones are having all these allergy problems and their mom's worry about germs and are contstantly using sanitizers. We are developing tough "Bugs" because of all this santization. Many mom's insist on antibiotics for their kids, again, many resistant types of bacteria. Bacteria adapt and become resistant to all this stuff
