My mom sent this to me. It’s great

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-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 infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster
seats, 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 Kool-aid made
with sugar, 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 OK.

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 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD’s, no
surround-sound or CD’s, no cell phones, no personal computers, no
Internet or 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 d id 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
poke 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!

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?!

I have no time for flashy posts or witty banter but in good fashion as I’ve done for the last 9 years I’ve had this blog I’ll state my stance.
This is a McCain/Palin blog and that is who I will be voting for in November (right before my birthday *hint hint*)

That is all.
Have a great day (week/month however long it takes me to update again)

FTW!!!

I’m here. Let me try a short summary. Oh wait, it won’t take too long because nothing is really going on.
I’m working (count them folks) 3 jobs now (because I’m a glutton for punishment). Ok I lie, I really am happy with what’s going on right now. I’m just extremely busy. On top of all that I’m trying to spend every moment that I have with Gary. He’s getting ready to start school back up making HIM extremely busy so I’m hogging his time and I don’t care that I’m selfish.
It’s just that time of year when I really don’t feel like talking to people but I’ll try working on that… maybe.
I’d post more but there isn’t anything really going on.

Apparently I’m really nice .. too nice so I’m making the following changes to my usual modus operandi.
WDS says the following.
Premade templates are sold AS IS with title and tagline changes ONLY. Coding for premade templates are done for standard blog platform installations. Additional changes/requests are subject to additional fees.
This means that from now on (with a few exceptions to my regular clients) they’re going to come as is. No more “extra addins”, 14 additional sidetitles all added in to the coding and me pulling my hair out because a 30 minute job is taking me 3 hours because of the “extra addins” and “14 additional sidetitles”.
You can have the extra at WDS current pricing (at the moment it’s $100 per hour - one hour minimum). If you want to spend that on top of a premade price knock your socks off but I’m currently backed up because EVERYONE WANTS EXTRA SHIT.
Oh and I’m not and won’t and never have included psds. They’re mine. Sorry

p.s. I am home
