true.

Those of You Born

1930 -

1979

At the end of this Email is a quote of the month
by Jay Leno.. If you don't read anything else, PleaseRead what
he Said.
Very well stated, Mr.
Leno.
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-base

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 &
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
O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out
ofscraps
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 Playstations, Nintendo's and
X-boxes.
There were no video games, 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 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 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 .

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 swine
flu
and terrorist
attacks.
Are we sure this is a
good time
to take God out of the Pledge of
Allegiance?'

For those that prefer to think that God is not
watching over us.. ..go ahead and delete
this.

For the
rest of
us...pass this
on.
A
Small Prayer!

God determines who walks into your life....it's
up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you
refuse to let go.

I need this back. If you'll do this for me, I'll
do it for you.

When there is nothing left but God,
that is when you find out that God is all you need. Take 60 seconds
and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the following small prayer
for the person who sent you this.

Father,
God bless my friend in whatever it is that You
know they may need this day!
And may their life be full of your peace,
prosperity, andpower
as he/she seeks to have a closer
relationship with you.
Amen.

Then send it on to five other people, including
the one who sent it to you Within hours you will have caused a multitude
of people to pray for other people. Then sit back and watch the power of
God work in your life.

P. S... Five is good, but more is
better.
IN GOD WE
TRUST
