WELCOME to FRIDAY OCTOBER 18, 2024

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 50s, 60s and 70s!

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 HAPPY FRIDAY, people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

“Nintendo is releasing a video game that lets you simulate taking care
of a baby. When they heard this, gamers said, ‘Hey, call me when you
have one that simulates MAKING one.'” -Conan O’Brien

“Today was International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day. There’s a party
later tonight, but I heard it’s going to be a real snausage fest.” -Seth Meyers

“A new study found that most people cant go 10 minutes without lying.
But since the study took 20 minutes nobody knows what to believe.” -Jimmy Fallon

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
A wife asked her husband, “Honey, could you please run to the store
and get a carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get a dozen.”
A while later the husband returned with a case of quart milk cartons.
Staring incredulously at the 12-pack case of milk, his wife asked,
“Why the hell did you buy so much milk?”
Her husband said, “They had eggs.” 😳😳

Thursday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this about???
This movie is about an unfortunate hero who can’t break away from his mob past, no matter how hard he tries.

Answer: Kiss of Death!
Caruso plays the unfortunate hero who can’t break away from his mob past, no matter how hard he tries. While the critics were less than kind in their reviews of this film, it’s become a favorite of mine. A remake of the 1947 film starring Victor Mature and Richard Whidmark, it featured Nic Cage as one of the most intriguing bad guys in memory, an asthmatic mobster scion. Caruso was in “Jade” with Linda Fiorentino (of “Men in Black”) and Cage was in “Leaving Las Vegas” with Elizabeth Shue. “The Negoiator” starred Jackson and Kevin Spacey.

Friday’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this about???
This movie is a comedy about an alien who comes to earth in search of a female willing to reproduce.

Thursday’s Quizzler is….​
You hear my sound; But that’s not me
In fact, we look quite differently
I can have one; it always has two; I can have three
It can be anywhere, but I like sitting in a tree
It comes in many different forms
But I usually come in one
I have an assortment of colours
But eat me & I’m done
It can represent a bond
I can be used to jam
Can you figure out
What it is & what I am?

Answer: Pear & Pair
