I remember when civility was the norm.
I remember when the aliens landed and everything changed.
the Aliens memory might have been from a B movie...I'm just not sure!

I remember slumber parties. Truth or dare. Stashing someone's bra in the freezer. Eating lots of junk!
I remember garage sales with Mom. Every Saturday. Without fail. 7AM, we were on the road with the newspaper and Egg McMuffin sandwiches.
I remember playing jacks on my knees at school, and wearing through the toes of my brand new oxford shoes. (The result of that one might qualify as a bad memory! LOL!)
I remember taking Mom out for brunch on Father's Day, since she did both the mother and father roles. We drank bloody mary's and laughed until we cried.
I remember playing Rummy and Crazy 8s with my grandmother until the wee hours on Friday nights when I spent the night at her house.
I remember rides on my brother's motorcycle, with the helmet on my head surely too big to be safe.
I remember same brother coming home when he was driving a truck. Taking me and friends for rides in the rig. Taking Mom for a ride and her having a panic attack because it was so high she was scared to get out. Had to move her car over so she could get out onto the roof and slide down the windshield to the hood and then to the ground. God, we laughed. I remember it was July in NM, and the trailer he had unhooked from the rig sunk into the blacktop. Made the paper!
I remember Sam, our black lab. Got him as a puppy - runt of the litter. Full grown, he still thought he was a lap dog. 
Yes. There were good times to outweigh the bad.

Everyone..
This is the last warning to get back on topic or this thread will be locked. If any of you have a personal problem with any other, use your ignore feature and do not risk putting your posting privileges in jeopardy.

I never thought I would say this about RT, but I guess if the shoe fits? Im tired of the one sidedness. Im tired of every thread I go in, Helen has to have a smarmy remark. Im tired of her thinking everyone and everthing is aimed at HER (in her dreams, maybe. Bad attention is better than none, eh?). Im tired of some posters able to direspect other posters and insult them with name calling, and Im tired of keeping my mouth shut about it.
I have seen flat out insults threatened with moderation, and even though more and more are tossed out, silence on the moderators part. All I see is "use your ignore button". Well guess what? That doesnt work. I dont know how many times others have said the same thing I am saying, especially about Helen, the whiner, to no avail. So if what I am saying here is met with more ignoring on the part of my FIRST written complaint, then I know its OK to pay back insults with insults. Go ahead and moderate me. It will prove my point.
Helen, Im done. Dont ever address me again, nor mention my name again. Dont apologize and then find another reason to make that apology empty. Go enjoy another happy hour..seems thats what you do often and it shows in your posts.
Borillar, you are obnoxious. Get a life, pal.

I remember when cheese was served with whine, er, I mean wine...
A handshake was better then a written contract...
Political correctness was a term in passe, not a way of life...
Agreeing to disagree was fine...
Stormtroopers were in the movies, and not on a message board...
That Archie Bunker was the man you loved to hate, and hated to love...

borillar, hepburn, zilvy, and hjw
I highly recommend that you all put each other on ignore immediately. We are not going to get involved in trying to resolve the personal issues between you, and we will not allow this forum to become disrupted by it.
borillar - please note that it is not ever appropriate to compare someone to Adolph Hitler in this forum, and if you do so again, your posting privileges will be in jeopardy of being permanently revoked.

I just read the last attack by Hepburn and the warning by Diana.
I will of course follow her directions and ignore Hepburn and Zilvy in the future as I expect them to ignore me also.
Since I have again been accused of posting while drunk I do hope that you will consider it fair to correct this misinformation. I do not drink alcohol.

I remember denial and how I used to be fooled by it until I went to alanon.
I remember Those little candies that had alcohol in them and my sister would sneak them all and say it was just for the chocolate.
I remember drinking orange crush in a bottle (they dont make it anymore, do they?)
I remember making mud pies.

I remember driving a red fiat, a gold 240Z (my favorite car of all time)
I remember being the "horsie" for my 3 year old brother and getting rug burn from
galloping for him and making him laugh.
I remember long walks in the country and seeing the deer grazing in fields.
Picking wild blueberries, raspberries and blackberries...even wild strawberries. Life was good and Mom was a great cook...she made great desserts with all the bounty we brought home.

jumpinjacko,
Can you check your yamon.gif, please? It's not loading and it was hanging my page, making it impossible for me to post. I had to temporarily put you on Ignore. Thanks.

I remember playing in the sandbox with the other kids.
I remember the Bullies come walking up and kicking sand at us.
I remember someone punching them in the nose for it!
I remember the Bullies go crying to their momma about someone standing up to them!
I recall the satisfaction that brought.

I remember when -
I watched as my granddad farmed with two horses pulling the plow.
My cousins milked hundreds of cows by hand - twice a day. Watching the cream float to the top of the milk cans. Them squirting me with it, when I wasn't looking.
Collecting berries with my grandmother that she used for her wonderful pies and homemade preserves.
Riding in the wagons while the wheat crop was harvested. Riding along as it was taken to the local grain store to be weighed and to watch as some was processed into flour.
Riding on the very top of the hay wagon, thinking I was on top of the world.
Swinging (for hours) on a homemade swing my granddad put on the huge limb of an old oak tree.
Watching calves and pigs being born.
Slopping the hogs and feeding corn to the cows - twice a day.
Riding on the tractor with my granddad while he plowed the fields.
Going into a huge freezer, and getting to wear a full length mink coat, to pick out the weeks worth of meat for dinner.
I collected, washed and weighed the eggs for my grandmother. Helped feed the turkeys and laughed when I tried to talk, as they would make a terrible noise as they cackled.
The milkman delivering our milk and cream to our porch each morning.
I remember the Helm's Bakery truck coming down our street each day to sell all sorts of wonderful sweet delights.
I remember playing cowboys and indians. I was always the squaw who mended their wounds.
Oh....what wonderful memories ....

I remember when the people working at McDonalds could speak English.
I remember when you could go to McDonalds or Burger King or wherever and not have to pour your own soda.
I remember when Ronald McDonald drove a flying hamburger.
I remember when the Hamburglar looked a little bit sinister and demented, not the kiddie version they have today.
I remember we used to sing to the old McDonalds theme song:
McDonalds is your kind of place
Hamburgers in your face
French fries in your nose
Pickles in your toes
And don't forget those chocolate shakes
They're made from polluted lakes
McDonalds is my kind of place
I remember when McDonalds meals didn't come in super-size -- and neither did people.
I remember when there wasn't McDonalds trash on almost every roadside in America.
I remember the QLT, lol -- but fortunately not the pineapple burger.
