AH, I REMEMBER WHEN

HOW VERY TRUE!   My mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and Spread butter on bread on the same cutting board with the same knife And no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food poisoning.   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 or at the beach instead of a  pristine pool (talk About boring), no beach closures then.   We  all took PE ..... And risked permanent Injury with a pair of Dunlop sandshoes instead of having Cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in Light reflectors that cost as much as a small car. I can't recall any Injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now.   We got the cane for doing something wrong at School, they used to call it discipline yet we all grew up to accept The rules and to honour & respect those older than us.   We had 50 kids in our class and we all Learned to read and write, do maths and spell almost all the words Needed to write a grammatically correct letter......., FUNNY THAT!!   We all said prayers in school irrespective of Our religion, sang the national anthem and no one got upset.   Staying in detention after school caught all Sorts of negative attention we wish we hadn't  got.   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. We weren't!!   Oh yeah .... And where was the antibiotics And sterilisation 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 building sites and when we got hurt, mum pulled Out the 2/6p bottle of iodine and then we got our backside spanked. Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10 day dose of Antibiotics and then mum calls the lawyer to sue the contractor for Leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a  threat.   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 never needed to get into group therapy And/or 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.   WOULDN'T TRADE  IT FOR ANYTHING!   Pass this to someone and  remember that life's most simple pleasures are very often the  best.   AAAAh, those WERE the  days!!!!

..............YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE THIS.............................

It's funny how most of us look back into our past and suddenly we realize that our life has changed.

I for one,  have started my day sitting on my beautiful new deck, surrounded by flowers that my wife has so carefully selected colors, planters, soil, fertilizers and who runs for the watering can as soon as she hears one little leaf or one little bud,  sing out in a sound only a dog can hear............."water.......water water me please".  many of these photo's I have posted on facebook so I'm sure you don't want to see them again.   It is now noon,four cups of coffee down since putting myself in this position at 6:am. More caffeine than normal for me but to get into my google account to get to this blog took that much time..............no wonder its been so long since my last post. Its all coming back now, apparently google owns so many different programs that I like that when I first went with them I would use a different username and a different password.  Then google decided it was more efficient to have all the google accounts under one roof with one password,  sounds good to me so along with the idea of the century. I made a note of the username and the password and locked it away............so that it wouldn't get stolen and my account hacked  however as time passes, so do memory cells and I forgot where I placed all my passwords.  Now, I suppose I do what most people do and that's to keep all the passwords on the computer in my Norton vault so that I can easily access my pass worded sights.  Unfortunately I had to update that when google advised me to and ...............I just didn't do it..........I guess it was either lack of time or lack of brain power. After three times putting in the wrong information google locked me out................and believe me the whole neighborhood now knows what I think of google.  especially since it is so peaceful and quiet except for his foghorn of a voice shouting obscenities in Swedish,Italian,English.........and the occasional Hungarian which I don't even know what I'm saying................To beat it all Google had the balls to send me an email telling me that someone has been trying to get into my account..................IT WAS ME !!!!!! YOU STUPID *&$^%  and I have been following step by step all your instructions with you secret crooked upside down letter codes that I cant read because they make no sense, and you keep flashing new ones.  If I cant read one...............what makes it different to send me another  if I cant read that also  then try sending me three pictures, two of a dog and one of a cat and ask me to put my curser on the one that is different and CLICK!!   Right now you bozos have me trying to reduce my heart beats from 176/bpm  to 132/bpm.  or daring me to call 911.         OOOHHHH  WAIT    I just remembered where I put all the new passwords.


Passwords are great, I believe in passwords and I believe in keeping my life safe and secured from all outside sources...............that's the reason I write a blog about my life growing up but I'm 79 I cant remember all these different things, I even forget how to tie my shoes sometimes that's when I wear my sandals,  why cant I have just one password for all 263 sights I go to?  If my passwords are supposed to be secret why does one sight know that I'm using that password on an associated sight.?


Well, enough is enough....................for today.  My heart rate in now down to  102/bpm so I guess its time to take a nap. 


Talk with you guys soon. !!!!!!     over and out for now.
