Good article written about the kids and what is going wrong with the world...

Just thought this was a good one considering what is going on right now with losing our rights to choose what our kids do and don't do!!!  Seen it on the d6mx.com site...

To Those of You Born

1930 - 1979

At the end of this email is a quote of the month by Jay Leno. If you
don't read anything else, please

Read what he said.

Very well stated, Mr. Leno.

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 Play stations, 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 **** and, although we were told it would happen, we did not
put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or w alked 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!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow
up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of
our lives for our own good.

While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave
and lucky their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't
it ?

The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:

'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding,
severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and
with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, are we sure this is a
good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?' shocked.gifshocked.gifshocked.gif

whats for sale here? maybe its me but I thought the rules saod something has to be for sale or it will be deleted? I try to teach my kids to follow rules and its getting harder and harder to when everyone just does what they want to and disregards the rules! also I do feel we should have the forums back up and to all those people who gave donaa a hard time about it and made her decide to abandon them i say keep them out. They said we have kids reading this? well I have never seen anything so bad on the forums that a kid shouldnt read. bring the fporums back and follow the rules!!!

I disagree, this board shouldn't just be for trading, selling or trying to make money. This is a community. People need help and others know the answers. People want to express their feelings on an issue, ok. Is there a big problem with a few friendly posts?

Why do you think there is a annual cnymra picnic?.... were a community, remember
