Southern ca. for sure
I'd just say that it was unsafe to pass the curves, knowing that I'd die before I could take my next breath.
It is so frightening to me to think that these people make decisions concerning our great nation. The fright comes from the idea that there are people would vote for them.
Sorry this is so long, but I thought it needed to be posted...so many of us qualify
The best years to be born in the history of Earth & we got to experience it all. Thank God for all the times, the adventures, wars won, technology developed. Generations after future generations will never experience what we did. What a generation we turned out to be.
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 that we forgot about 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
Lost 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 ?

That was a real pic....well endowed, then shopped to disbelief. She needs no "touching up" in the original.
Scariest damn costume I have ever seen! Should be banned.

that costume should scare kids worse than a clown suit.

Reasons Why We Survived:
Lawyers were only a small percentage of the population.
Fewer Doctors.
Electronic media and electronic entertainment didn't exist in its present form
Government was not in the business of "taking care" of us
Feel free to add to the list.

We were taught that WE were RESPONSIBLE for OUR actions
Playing in the dirt and eating worms, built up immune systems.

The healthiest kids in town could be found, as toddlers, playing outside playing in 35 degree weather, with no shoes and only a diaper on.
You could not hurt them with a pine knot.
On a dark and blustery night in Derry, Sean’s wife tells him that it’s time to have the baby and to call for the doctor.
When the doctor arrives, he tells Sean that he’ll need a bright light, some clean towels and some hot water. He then goes into the room with Sean’s wife. Sean delivers the light, towels and hot water, then goes into another room to load up his favorite pipe and wait.
After a time, Sean hears a soft whack and the cry of a baby. The doctor comes out of the room and says “Sean, I am happy to tell you that you are now the father of a healthy baby boy!”
Sean is very elated by this news and replies “Well bless my soul, a healthy baby boy to carry on the family name. Praise the Lord!”
The doctor returns to the room and soon there is the sound of another soft whack and the cry of a baby. The doctor comes out and says “Sean, you are now the father of another healthy baby boy.”
To this news, Sean says “Twins is it now, and bless my soul, yet another fine boy to carry on the family name.”
Once again, the doctor returns to the room and shortly there is the sound of yet another soft whack and yet another baby’s cry. The doctor comes out of the room and says “Well Sean, I am glad to tell you that you are now the father of a fine and healthy baby girl.”
Now Sean says “Ho, now it is that my wonderful wife has given me three fine babies, but doctor, I must say that I’m a wee bit concerned. Before you go back in that room, there’s one question that I’ve got to ask…tis it the bright light that draws them?”

That's a face of Pure Hatred. That face will scare adults and children. I bet the only time and would also bet rare time she smiles is when she gets her way.
