WE SURVIVVED SO TRUE
Apr 03, 2009 | 7:06AM
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE

1930's 1940's, 50's, 60's and early 70's !



First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos
.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, raw egg products, loads of bacon and processed meat, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer.


Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints.



We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.



As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.



We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle ..



Take away food was limited to fish and chips, no pizza shops, McDonalds , KFC, Subway or Nandos.



Even though all the shops closed at 6.00pm and didn't open on the weekends, somehow we didn't starve to death!



We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.



We could collect old drink bottles and cash them in at the corner store and buy Toffees, Gobstoppers, Bubble Gum and some bangers to blow up frogs with.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soft drinks 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 old prams and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. We built tree houses and dens and played in river beds with matchbox cars.


We did not have Playstations, Nintendo Wii , X-boxes, no video games at all, no 999 channels on SKY ,

NO VIDEOS OR DVDS,
no mobile 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.




Only girls had pierced ears!




We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.




You could only buy Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns at Easter time...




We were given air guns and catapults for our 10th birthdays,




We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!


Mum didn't have to go to work to help dad make ends meet!




RUGBY and CRICKET had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! Getting into the team was based on

MERIT



Our teachers used to hit us with canes and gym shoes and bully's
always ruled the playground at school.





The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.

They actually sided with the law!



Our pa rents didn't invent stupid names for their kids like 'Kiora' and 'Blade' and 'Ridge' and 'Vanilla'




We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO

DEAL WITH IT ALL !




And 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 our lives for our own good.



And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.






PS -The big type is because your eyes are not too good at your age anymore

WE SURVIVED

KEEP THE DREAMS ALIVE
Jan 22, 2009 | 2:40AM

I dream about the future, I dwell about my past
Sitting by myself wondering how long these dreams will last

But My dreams are my dreams, no one can take them from me
I've often dreamed about what I want and what I want to be

I dreamed about that special someone, I dreamed about love
I've often dreamed about that while watching the stars above

I've dreamed about Happiness, and I wished for the best
I'm always dreaming about that, while I'm having a good-nights rest

And I dream about what I want to do and about the person I want to be
I totally understand and know that i deserve what's best for me

If you want the best, you know what to do
Just keep on dreaming because dreams do come true

The thought of you causes my heart to sing.
The sight of you causes my eyes to feel blessed.
The beauty you have, the love you give.
The life we share as one shall never end.
My love is always yours for the taking.
I am always there all you have to do is look.
I am in the little things you put effort into.
I am the extra time in the mirror.
The long breath you breathe at night.
I am the thoughts in your head.
I am the love in your heart.
I cause you to want more, but need less.
I love you, for time has no length of how long.
If a bird took a grain of sand off the earth and flew around the world and set it on the highest mountain. Then did this till all the grains of sand in the world were there, the time still wouldn't match the length of time i will love you.
My heart screams your name.
Sometimes so loud i think you can hear it.
I live to be with you.
I want this love forever.
I want you forever.
The way i love you is UN-described by words.
The life i lived is gone and yours is part of me.
The days will grow and so will the troubles.
Though as long as you are there i can make it.
You keep my heart beating and my mind thinking.
You make me try harder and push myself to unlimited levels.
You love me and i love you.
Forever we shall be.
The things we shall accomplish are endless.
I love you no matter what.
For every thing in my life you are there.
Stay with me and i will make life easy for you.
I will be the love you dream of.
I will be what you need.
I will be yours.

WESTLIFE AN A FEELING"
Jun 09, 2008 | 1:04PM

If one day u feel like crying? ?

Call me? ?

I dont promise that i will make u laugh?

But i can cry with u?

If one day u want to run away?

Dont be afraid to call me?

I dont promise to ask u to stop?

But i can run with u?

f one day u dont want to listen to anyone?

Call me? ?I promise to be there for u but also promise to remain quiet?

But one day if u call? ?And there is no anwser?

Come fast to see me?

Perhaps i need you?

Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will?

Remember, everyone needs a friend, dont ever leave the one u love for the one u like?

Because the one u like will leave u for the one they love?

THE OLD 1'S ARE STILL BEST!

Why females should avoid a girls night out after they are married....

 

The other night I was invited out for a night with the "girls." I told


my husband that I would be home by midnight, "I promise!" Well, the

hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily.  Around 3

a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home.

 

Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up

and cuckooed 3 times.

 

Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another

9 times.

 

I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted

solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with him. (Even when

totally smashed... 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals 12 cuckoos =

MIDNIGHT!) The next morning my husband aske d me what time I got in, I

told him "MIDNIGHT"... he didn't seem [censored]ed off in the least.

Whew, I got away with that one! Then he said "We need a new cuckoo

clock."

 

When I asked him why, he said, "Well, last night our clock cuckooed

three times, then said "oh [censored]." Cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its

throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and

then tripped over the coffee table and farted. __________________________________________________

In the Arms of the Angels - Sarah Mclaughlin

I remember a type of quote people used to say

But I never really understood it 'til today

Life will only get harder from here

 I think about that almost every time I shed a tear

Sometimes I sit and stare I think and hope that life would be fair

 You never really know which road to choose It seems which ever way you go,

your bound to lose

Why does it seem I can't smile like before?

As if the joyous part of me walked right out the door

I never show my true feelings which is why I'm writing this poem

 I guess my feelings are personal to me and I'm too embarrassed to show 'em

Nobody seems to get it They just have no clue

 I get a funny feeling, it comes from deep inside.

 I get all mad and angry, wanting to go and hide.

My doctor calls it depression, my Family says It's just me.

 But the thoughts and feelings, no one will ever be able to see.

Some say I'm psycho, some say I'm just weird.

It's like I'm a different person, and the old me just disappeared.

I get really edgy, I Shake Real Bad.... Then I get a headache,

followed by feeling sad. I wish I could get help,

 Iwish it would go away.

Maybe if I keep praying real hard, it will some day.

The voice that's been silent all these years thinks deep thoughts but,

I thought I destroyed every memory I had. They were lost long ago,

but they're all coming back. Get rid of the depression that has a hold

 Don't let it sink far enough in For if you do you will not win

Don't let it touch your precious life Or your family, f

riends and loved one

Don't let it drag you way down low

Get the sun's warmth to let it go Fight the fight And you will win

You will beat The depression sneaking in Sleepless nights,

dreadful dreams, are haunting me.

Panic and rage Runs through my body The devil is trying to get in.

Day after day I fight off the urges

That would be so satisfying A battle rages Deep within my soul It's all I can do to hold on.

Hope is my weapon,

faith gives me peace of mind,

How many truisms can you see?!
Oct 03, 2007 | 7:11AM

WHEN GIRLS DRINK TOO MUCH............

1. WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHERE OUR PURSE IS.

2. WE BELIEVE THAT DANCING WITH OUR ARMS OVERHEAD AND WIGGLING OUR BUTT WHILE YELLING "WOO-HOO!" IS TRULY THE SEXIEST DANCE MOVE AROUND.

3. WE'VE SUDDENLY DECIDED THAT WE WANT TO KICK SOMEONE'S BUTT AND HONESTLY BELIEVE WE COULD DO IT TOO.

4. IN OUR LAST TRIP TO PEE, WE REALIZE THAT WE NOW LOOKMORE LIKE A HOMELESS HOOKER THAN THE GODDESSES WE WERE JUST FOUR HOURS AGO.

5. WE START CRYING AND TELLING EVERYONE WE SEE THAT WE LOVE THEM SOOOOO MUCH.

6. WE GET EXTREMELY EXCITED AND JUMP UP AND DOWN EVERY TIME A NEW SONG PLAY'S BECAUSE "OH MY GOD! I LOVE THIS SONG!"

7. WE'VE FOUND A DEEPER/SPIRITUAL SIDE TO THE GEEK SITTING NEXT TO US.

8. WE'VE SUDDENLY TAKEN UP SMOKING AND BECOME REALLY GOOD AT IT.

9. WE YELL AT THE BARTENDER, WHO WE BELIEVE CHEATED US BY GIVING US JUST LEMONADE, BUT THAT'S JUST BECAUSE WE CAN NO LONGER TASTE THE VODKA.

10. WE THINK WE ARE IN BED, BUT OUR PILLOW FEELS STRANGELY LIKE THE KITCHEN FLOOR (or the mop?)

11. WE FAIL TO NOTICE THAT THE TOILET LID'S DOWN WHEN WE SIT ON IT.

12. WE TAKE OUR SHOES OFF BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT'S THEIR FAULT THAT WE'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WALKING STRAIGHT.

SEND THIS ALONG TO ALL THE GIRLS YOU KNOW WHO LIKE TO HAVE FUN. MAKE THEM LAUGH AT THEMSELVES LIKE YOU PROBABLY DID....SADLY, MANY ARE TRUE!

And Remember...
"A clean house is the sign of a wasted life
