Ahead of time Sunday! Born in 50's 60's 70's?

G'day Everyone.

If you are just wondering out there why time seems screwed up, it's Daylight Savings Time already! Losing an hour ahead as we get extra light in the evenings, but dark mornings. (yick). So, go change your clocks please.

I have a working vacation week coming. I need a break from my home for a while. So it's going to get way interesting. Tomorrow, I may be able to blog of what's happening with the court trial that's going on. I last heard that they were moving the trial to a court room where they'll have audio assistance for me. (long live the phonic ear). One busy day to do. I hate to decide someone's fate in a legal setting. But, it's gotta be done. Just pray the jury takes in all the details well.

I found a neat post I wanted to share today. Enjoy!

TO The Survivors:
ALL THE KIDS WHO GREW UP IN the 50's, 60's and 70's!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and 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 during the summer, 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 Wii, Playstation, Nintendo, X-box, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video on demand movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet, Internet chat rooms, no instant messaging, no facebook, no Twitter...WE HAD REAL LIVE 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 birthday, 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! If we got a whippin at school we got another one when we got home.

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.

If YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS!

*sigh* Makes me remember some of my best childhood days back then. Sadly, the 80's, 90's, and '00 are not much better.

So, have a great week! Stay well. If you got a cold or flu, rest and chicken soup!

Semper FI!
