It won't be stopped until people stop using it and thinking it's OK, because everyone does it these days..."BS" theyare also into the Native American "cascino's" from what I understand, they start out telling them they will help them with their debts and make them into slaves...literally...like most of us think of "slaves" in the by-gone eras. Bush never did an thing about our border control, and it's an bit late for all those following since then. But ti starts with the people....the people have to refuse to buy it. That will be hard if your an addict on something...and they hone in on the young kids also... they are ruining their lives. |

England is great, despite all the problems. And there are problems everywhere. I wouldn't want to ever move permanently away from the U.S., but I'd love to spend a year in England some time, just to experience the 4 seasons and see a lot more of the gorgeous British Isles. They always say the grass is greener somewhere else, but it really IS greener over there. lol

My dad used to tell me when he was a little boy visiting his uncle's dairy farm that he would walk barefoot through the manure. He used to tell us that it would make us grow and that it would cure athlete's feet!! LOL I have not been to the farm since 1991. I sure miss it. Was a magical place for me. My brother has 80.9 acres and rents a lot of it to a farmer. He just spread turkey manure a couple weeks ago. While visiting not only was the fragrance intoxicating but the bugs were at a max! I got bit up and down my legs. I looked worse than a pincushion. |

One day my cousin and I had played at rounding the cows up for milking and gort them into the various sheds and stalls. Being the clever little prat i was , i was walking along checking all the milking gear was properly attached to the cows 'just like uncle Ted did'. I thought i was the bees knees. But a cow a couple of stalls ahead lifted it's tail and at that time i didn't know exactly what it meant ! ! ! ! Well., needless to say a few seconds later i was covered, lierally, from head to toe in what makes things grow......Uncle and cousin were helpless laughing, i was almost in tears and then a few minutes later was standing outside the farmhouse kitchen door as naked as the day i was born with Uncle Ted hosing me down...... along with my clothes so that auntie could wash them for me. But as I say it didn't do me any harm. In fact looking back we had some great times on that farm. Kids these days don't have a clue..... |

I am trying to convince myself that it is all muck and to forget about it and just take care of me! Very hard task for me since I like taking care of everyone else! Dave, you really made me laugh. How embarrassing when you are just a lad but they sure were the good old days. People were more cordial to one another and there were morals and values and even manners! It was rare to see anyone getting divorced. Nowadays, you are lucky to find a couple still married and happy together. Kids run amuck and tell their parents what to do. The parents don't have time for the kids. Family used to mean something and the members therein all did things together. I miss those days. |

That was the best part of 50 years ago and i would gladly go back to those times, albeit with one or two modern luxuries. I would want to have my cameras, my computer and the knowledge i have now. Possibly one or two other 'niceties' there but it was great time to be kid. we went on holiday to my grandparents place and my sister and i would go out after breakfast, usually in separate directions out onto the fells, come back to the house for lunch, back out again all afternoon and back for tea. Even in the rain we would go out, it was something you just did then. No one ever worried about our safety. Wouldn't dare have done that with our kids......such is the sad world we live in today. Sometimes really worry for what my grandchildren are gonna have to face. They will never now freedom like we did in those wondeful days so long ago. |
