            Those Born 1930-1979!


            TO ALL THE KIDS
            WHO SURVIVED 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 were pregnant.
            They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.


            Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs 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 infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, 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 koolade made with sugar, 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 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or 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!


These generations have 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!


If 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 so much of our lives


for our own good


And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were.


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

The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:

"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks,"Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"

Lots of truth in this. Even now if you watch young children they can have a lot of fun with an empty box or something they find in the yard. Smiley
