That's OK. Everyone there was probably quite relieved (sorry for the pun) when they figured out that it was just for Halloween and not for real.

The only time I run to answer anything these days is when Mother nature calls.

Remember: Stressed spelled backward is desserts.

That's why I had to pass this on; I didn't want to risk it.

Remembers the day when blackberry and apple were just fruit.
Oh when times were so simple!

I know how you fell with the cherry thing. I've found some that are good, just not great, and I so love cherry.
The older I get the more the time change thing throws me!!!
Plus, the puppy has been wound up for the last few nights---I'm sure she doesn't like it either.
Hope I get straightened out soon. It's gonna be a long day.........**yawn**

You know you're getting old when the term "pulled an all nighter" means you didn't get up at 3 a.m. to go potty........
Black and White TV
Black and White (Under age 40? You won't understand.)
You could hardly see for all the snow,
Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go.
Pull a chair up to the TV set,
'Good Night, David.
Good Night, Chet.'
My Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food poisoning.
My Mom used to defrost hamburger on the counter and I used to eat it raw sometimes, too. Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper in a brown paper bag, not in ice pack coolers, but I can't remember getting e..coli.
Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring), no beach closures then.
The term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system.
We all took gym, not PE...and risked permanent injury with a pair of high top Ked's (only worn in gym) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors. I can't recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now.
Flunking gym was not an option... even for stupid kids! I guess PE must be much harder than gym.
Speaking of school, we all said prayers and sang the national anthem, and staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention.
We must have had horribly damaged psyches. What an archaic health system we had then. Remember school nurses? Ours wore a hat and everything.
I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself.
I just can't recall how bored we were without computers, Play Station, Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital TV cable stations.
Oh yeah... and where was the Benadryl and sterilization kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed!
We played 'king of the hill' on piles of gravel left on vacant construction sites, and when we got hurt, Mom pulled out the 48-cent bottle of mercurochrome (kids liked it better because it didn't sting like iodine did) and then we got our .... spanked.
Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10-day dose of a $49 bottle of antibiotics, and then Mom calls the attorney to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat.
We didn't act up at the neighbor's house either; because if we did we got our .... spanked there and then we got our .... spanked again when we got home.
I recall Donny Reynolds from next door coming over and doing his tricks on the front stoop, just before he fell off.
Little did his Mom know that she could have owned our house.
Instead, she picked him up and swatted him for being such a goof. It was a neighbourhood run amuck.
To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a dysfunctional family.
How could we possibly have known that?
We needed to get into group therapy and anger management classes.
We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills, that we didn't even notice that the entire country wasn't taking Prozac!
How did we ever survive?
LOVE TO ALL OF US WHO SHARED THIS ERA; AND TO ALL WHO DIDN'T, SORRY FOR WHAT YOU MISSED. I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING!

"We must have had horribly damaged psyches."
I just knew it was someones fault that I'm not normal.

mmsjs5 that was a great walk down memory lane. I would like to add one:
How did we survive riding our tricycles and bicycles without helmets, elbow and knee pads?
My Dad loved getting latest new invention and so we had a television when, yes, it was b/w. I used to sit in front of it and stare at the when there was no program on "Indian Chief" test pattern. I didn't even think about the fact that he might have been one of my ancestors, either.
And yes, I'm very thankful to have grown up during those times. I wonder if every generation that reached our ages also thought this about their lives in comparison to "modern times".

Finally, a cell phone for Seniors.

I'm thankful for a lot.
I mean who wouldn't be thankful for the inch and a half long white hair that decided to grow from my right ear lobe!!!
