(I didn't write this - just something fun to share)
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what with walking 25 miles to school every morning ... uphill BOTH ways …yadda, yadda, yadda.And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in h#ll I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it! But now that I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! They just don't know how good they've got it!)
When I was a kid we didn't have The Internet.
If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!
There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter ... with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!
There were no MP3's or Napster!
You wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and screw it all up!
We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting!
If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either!
When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances mister!
We didn't have any Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3D graphics!
We had the Atari 2600! With games like “Space Invaders” and “Asteroids” and the graphics were horrible! Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died!
When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium seating!
All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some old broad with big hair or a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were just screwed!
Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15 channels and there was no onscreen menu!
You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!And there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons!
And we didn't have microwaves…
If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove or go build a fire...imagine that! If we wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid Jiffy Pop thing or a pan with HOT oil and Real popcorn kernels and shake it all over the stove forever like an idiot.
When we were on the phone with our friends and our parents walked-in…
we were stuck to the wall with a cord, a 7-foot cord that ran to the phone - not to the phone base, the actual phone. We barely had enough length to sit on the floor and still be able to twirl the phone cord in our fingers. If you suddenly had to go to the bathroom - guess what we had to do.....hang up and talk to them later.
(I totally remember this one....I would use our kitchen phone and lay on the floor talking ALL night when no one else was around!)
Geez...our kids sure have it easy don't they?

A Treat for the Kids
Hot dogs and french fries for dinner last night
April Fool's !
This was actually a yummy dessert
The kids thought this dinner was the 'sweetest' thing ever!How I did it....
Hot Dogs: Twinkies cut down the middle make up the hot dog bun
a large Tootsie Roll is used for the weirner -
I put it in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften then molded it in to shape
the ketchup is a piece of a Twizzler - the kind you peel & eat
the relish is Green Sour Straw candy minced into small bits
the fries are Lady Finger Cookies cut in thin strips
I used the hard cookie kind
then coated them with a little melted butter and cinnamon & sugar

Going Green?
On April 19th at 8:00 a.m., Walmart will be giving away one million reusable shopping bags nationwide. After the giveaway, the bags will be available to purchase for $1. Click here to see the details.
They will also be giving away Nickelodeon's The Big Green Help seed cards, that you can plant and watch grow into a beautiful wildflower.
Bad Day....
Okay, so on my drive in to work (whilst leisurely enjoying my organic vanilla yogurt with berries and granola) I struck some freakishly large, foreign object that was nary suppose to be on the side of the roadway. The result.... a humongous bubble of the side of tire.
Newish car. No tire warranty. Dang it.
This is where my fortuitous nature that I'm always on the lookout for the best deal in town comes in handy. Called around, compared prices - haggled. Got a price match that beat the best deal saving me $25.57 on the price that I was quoted by the same establishment in the first place. Amazing how that works eh? 
My darling little Passat, I just have to say....sometimes you make me so mad! First, it was the "special" power steering fluid that you had to have that I drove all the way downtown to get you because none of the regular auto parts stores carry it - now the "special" H-rated tire that you must wear. How prissy you are! Your "special" tire has now been ordered, just for you because I love you so much. Your punishment is that you have to wear that UGLY spare for an entire day - HA! I know, it shames me too.
