    Default Those born from the 30's to 79

    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 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 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!
    Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.

    I had one other thought along those lines, that being put to sleep with ether when you had your tonsils out. HAHA

    If people tried to raise their kids the way many of us were raised they would be in jail.
    I don't believe in any type of child abuse but the way some kids are being raised today is more "abusive" than a good as- whoopin when needed

    Had a party line for years (135-R: how do I remember that??) and was not allowed to answer the 'other party's' rings . . . weird to think about that these days.

    Didn't have a bomb shelter (my father was in construction; don't know why we didn't . . . ), but occasionally saw into the neighbor's . . . all stocked with food & water & clothes, etc. Even after 10 years of war, nobody now would think about having one . . . would they?

    I lived in Northern California in the 40's and 50's. Still remember the teachers showing us flash cards with japanese aircraft on them. We were supposed to memorize them and usually every day we spent 2 hours a day in an observation platform scanning the air looking for Japanese airplanes. We didn't see any ever and never saw a Honda either :-) They did capture a one man submarine though and it was downtown on display. We had blackouts every night for several years. If you had a light on that could be seen from the street your power was cut ! Nobody was allowed to drive at night. And those ration cards.....and the white margerine that you had to mix up with yellow dye so it would actually appear edible. And the hours we spent walking the roads looking for rubber scraps for the war effort. I don't miss those days at all but it was a learning experience I will never for get. The good old days....yeah...right :-)
    It's a dry heat...........
