WELCOME to Friday April 12, 2013.
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up 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 and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren’t overweight because WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
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 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, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet 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!
This generation has 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.
And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS!
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a wonderful weekend people, and whatever you do today, don’t forget to LAUGH IT UP! Peace I am outta here, Eucman!

Church on Fire…During a recent ecumenical gathering, a secretary rushed into the meeting shouting, The building is on fire!” The Methodists immediately gathered in the corner and prayed. The Baptists cried, “Where is the water?” The Quakers quietly praised God for the blessings that fire brings. The Lutherans posted a notice on the door, declaring the fire was evil. The Roman Catholics passed the plate to cover the damage. The Jews posted symbols on the doors, hoping the fire would pass. The Congregationalists shouted, “Every man for himself!” The Fundamentalists proclaimed, “It’s the vengeance of God!” The Episcopalians formed a procession and marched out. The Christian Scientists concluded there was no fire. The Presbyterians appointed a chairperson who was to appoint a committee to look into the matter and submit a written report. The secretary grabbed the fire extinguisher and put the fire out.
Thursday’s Movie Trivia of the day!‘ How much movie trivia can you answer?
What movie is this quote from??? “Take a look at what I’m wearing, people. You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while I’m wearing these bad boys? Forget about it.”
Answer: Napoleon Dynamite! “Napoleon Dynamite” is a 2004 independent film co-written and directed by Jared Hess and Jerusha Hess and stars Jon Heder as the main character. His character was nerdy to say the least but the movie just grows on you. He was from a slightly oddball family. He played a listless and alienated teenager that decided to help his new friend win the class presidency in their small western high school. The quote comes from when Napoleon’s brother Kip went to learn defense at Rex Kwan Do and the instructor, Rex, said that line to the class on their first day.
