Black and White
(Under age 40? You won't understand.)
You could hardly see for all the snow,
Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go.
Pull a chair up to the TV set,
"Good Night, David. Good Night, Chet."
My Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread Mayo on the same cutting
board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food
poisoning.
My Mom used to defrost hamburger on the counter AND I used to eat it raw
sometimes, too. Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper in a brown
paper bag, not in ice packed coolers, but I can't remember getting e.coli
Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a
pristine pool (talk about boring), no beach closures then.
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.
Flunking gym was not an option... Even for stupid kids! I guess PE must be
much harder than gym.
Speaking of school, we all said prayers and sang the national anthem, and
staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention.
We must have had horribly damaged psyches. What an archaic health system we
had then. Remember school nurses? Ours wore a hat and everything.
I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed
to be proud of myself.
I just can't recall how bored we were without computers, Play Station,
Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital TV cable stations.
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 t he 48-cent bottle of
Mercurochrome (kids liked it better because it didn't sting like iodine did)
and then we got our butt spanked.
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 h ouse either because if we did, we got
our butt spanked there and then we got butt spanked again when we got home.
I recall Donny Reynolds from next door 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?
LOVE TO ALL OF US WHO SHARED THIS ERA, AND TO ALL WHO DIDN'T- SORRY FOR
WHAT YOU MISSED. I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING
Pass this to someone and remember that life's most simple pleasures are
very often the Best.

We had a tree house and one night trying to get out of it at night I was up in it and Johnny was on the ground. I had the flashlight and I dropped it to him, with beam down so he could see it. By the time it turned battery(heavy) side down, it broke Johnny's front tooth clean off. I felt pretty bad.

The worst part about falling down and scraping a knee by Grannys house was the peroxide and scrubbing with the fels naptha soap and then the dreaded methiolade [don't remember the spelling] but the best was for the whooping cough the shot of whiskey and a glass of Vernors.Back then anger management was Grand Pa spankin the ass off us.And then the repeat when Dad caught wind of it.Ah yes the detention time after school and the nooners club at lunch time to help make up the detention time.

my view of reality has just been shaken. >.>

Well, as much pain as it might have caused, it is far better that you landed on your back, than on your frontside. Not being able to run for a year, pales in comparison than not being able to...... :)

Rofl Loco, you think ddp would remember the Wollemi Pine? (prn:WOL-EM-EYE)
http://www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/science/hot...cs/wollemi_pine
It's been around for some time, lets say 200 million years...give or take a year or two!

It?s rare, it?s endangered, it?s strange looking, and at first we didn?t know all that much about it.
LOL ...Yep that sounds like our ddp alright. :)

What A Coincidence...
A chicken farmer went into a local tavern and took a seat at the bar next to a woman patron and orders a glass of champagne.
The woman perks up and says " How about that? I just ordered a glass of champagne, too!"
He turned to her and said, "What a coincidence. This is a special day for me, I'm celebrating."
"This is a special day for me, too, and I'm also celebrating!" says the woman.
"What a coincidence." says the man.
They clinked glasses and he asked, "What are you celebrating?"
"My husband and I have been trying to have a child. Today, my gynaecologist told me I'm pregnant!"
"What a coincidence." says the man. "I'm a chicken farmer. For years all my hens were infertile, but today they're finally fertile."
"That's great!" says the woman, "How did your chickens become fertile?"
"I switched cocks." he replied.
"What a coincidence," she said.

Motorist admits speeding at 172mph
A motorist has pleaded guilty to driving at 172mph on a rural A-road, making him the fastest speeder ever caught in Britain.
Tim Brady, 33, was caught in a random speed check on the A420 near Abingdon, Oxfordshire, driving a �98,000 3.6-litre Porsche 911 Turbo in January this year.
The current highest speed to result in a conviction is 156mph.

I'm surprised you knew that LOL! How did you know that? It's very "South Philly" where absolutely everybody speaks like Sylvester Stallone! At least one can understand a south philly accent though. There is one part of philly in particular where speech should come with subtitles ... a rather extreme accent where I can only compare it to english and cockney. I wish there was a way to imitate it here!
@billyboy ... I've got the perfect girl for you:
