To Those of Us Born
1925 - 1955:


~~~~~~~~~
TO ALL THE
KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE
1930’s, 40’s, and
50’s !!


First, we survived being born to mothers who may have 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, locks on doors or cabinets,
And, when we rode our bikes,
We had baseball caps,
Not helmets, on our heads.


As infants and children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes..



Riding in the back of a pick- up truck 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, real butter, and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar.
And we weren't overweight.

WHY?


Because we were always outside playing...that's why!


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 OKAY.




We would spend hours building
Our go-carts out of scraps and
then ride them 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 Play Stations, Nintendo
and X-boxes. There were
No video games,
No 150 channels on cable,
No video movies
Or DVDs,
No surround-sound or
CDs,
No cell phones,
No personal computers,
No Internet and
No 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 those accidents.

 We would get
Spankings with wooden spoons, switches, ping-pong paddles, or just a bare hand,
And no one would call child services to report abuse.



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,
22 rifles for our 12th, rode horses,
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 60 to 85 years
Have seen 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 those born
Between 1925-1955, 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.


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 ?

I can honestly say that I too had a prescription for alcohol for when I lived at the Veterans Hospital here in Winnipeg. There's a bar in there, that is open every Friday. The only patients who CAN order a drink are those who've been given a prescription from their attending doctor/specialist allowing such. That way there is no interaction/conflict with their prescribed meds. True Story.

An actual prescription I received from my doctor at the VA.

I was having an issue with my feet - swelling, pain, etc. My doctor told me to stay off my feet. When I informed him that would be very difficult for me to do giving my duties and obligations, he told me that was his best advice - stay off my feet.

I asked him how I was supposed to mow my yard - for instance.

He looked at his nurse and asked her for a prescription pad. She produced one. He wrote a prescription to my wife. She had to mow the yard for the next 30 days.

The three of us (the doctor, the nurse, and I) headed back out to the waiting room to see my wife. The doctor got stopped about half-way there so the nurse and I continued to the waiting room. When I got to my wife, she asked what the deal was. I showed her the prescription. Of course, the nurse was standing right by my side. My wife read the prescription and started to ask the nurse for clarification (I suppose). Nope, wasn't going to happen. The nurse couldn't hold it and started laughing. By this time the doctor had caught up with us. He started laughing too.

Yep, fun times for all.

I really like the treatment I get from the VA.

No, my wife did not mow the yard.

Yes, my feet still hurt.

The Nordheim firefighters in Alsace take their Saint John's Eve bonfires very seriously. Every year, the firefighters build spectacular effigies.
The Alsace village will celebrate Saint John's Eve on Saturday 29 June and have gone all out, as they do every year.
The municipality's firefighters have impressed yet again by building an effigy of the Star Wars droid R2-D2 for this year's bonfire

It is encouraging to see that I am not alone here.
Us dark, disturbed, brilliant minds must stick together.

I bet you are thinking how cool it would have been for Don to play Corleone.

The scene where the Don divides up the type of crime each family will do, but not drugs, leaving it to the "minorities.: "We Got to Nip it, Nip it, I tell you, Nip it in the bud!" Yeah, that's all Don Knotts.
