Time Machine NOSTALGIA...

HOW'S THIS FOR NOSTALGIA?

All the girls had ugly royal blue gym uniforms?

It took three minutes for the TV to warm up?

Nobody owned a purebred dog?

When a quarter was a decent allowance?

You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny?

You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas 
pumped, without asking, all for free, every time? 
And you didn't pay for air? And, you got trading 
stamps to boot?

Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels 
hidden inside the box?

It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to 
dinner at a real restaurant with your parents?

They threatened to keep kids back a grade if they 
failed...and they did it!

When a 57 Chevy was everyone's dream car... 
to cruise, peel out, lay rubber or watch submarine races, and people went steady

No one ever asked where the car keys were 

because they were always in the car, in the ignition,

and the doors were never locked?

Lying on your back in the grass with your friends
and saying things like, 'That cloud looks like a...'?

Playing baseball with no adults to help kids 

with the rules of the game?

Stuff from the store came without safety caps 

and hermetic seals because no one had yet 

tried to poison a perfect stranger?

And with all our progress, don't you just 

wish, just once, you could slip back in time 

and savor the slower pace, and share it with the children of today.

When being sent to the principal's office 

was nothing compared to the fate that awaited 

the student at home?

Basically we were in fear for our lives, but it 

wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, 

gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were

a much bigger threat! But we survived because

their love was greater than the threat.

...as well as summers filled with bike rides, 

Hula Hoops, and visits to the pool, and eating 

Kool-Aid powder with sugar.

Didn't that feel good, just to go 

back and say, 'Yeah, I remember that'?

I am sharing this with you today because it 

ended with a Double Dog Dare to pass it on. 

To remember what a Double Dog Dare is, 

read on. And remember that the perfect age 

is somewhere between old enough to know 

better and too young to care. 
Send this on to someone who can 

still remember Howdy Doody and The 

Peanut Gallery, the Lone Ranger, 

The Shadow knows, Nellie Bell, Roy and Dale, 

Trigger and Buttermilk.

Candy cigarettes

Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar 

water inside.

Soda pop machines that dispensed glass 

bottles. Coffee shops with Table Side 

Jukeboxes. Blackjack, Clove and Teaberry 

chewing gum.

Home milk delivery in glass bottles with 

cardboard stoppers.

Newsreels before the movie.

Telephone numbers with a word prefix...

( Yukon 2-601). Party lines.

Peashooters.

Hi-Fi's & 45 RPM records.

78 RPM records!

Green Stamps.

Mimeograph paper.

The Fort Apache Play Set.

Do You Remember a Time When... 

Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'? 
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, 'Do 
Over!'? 'Race issue' meant arguing about who ran the 
fastest?

Catching The Fireflies Could Happily 

Occupy An Entire Evening?

It wasn't odd to have two or three 'Best Friends'?

Having a Weapon in School meant being 

caught with a Slingshot?

Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute 

commercials for action figures?

'Oly-oly-oxen-free' made perfect sense?

Spinning around, getting dizzy, and 

falling down was cause for giggles?

The Worst Embarrassment was being 

picked last for a team?

War was a card game?

Baseball cards in the spokes transformed 

any bike into a motorcycle? 

Taking drugs meant orange -

flavored chewable aspirin?

Water balloons were the ultimate weapon?

If you can remember most or all of these, 

Then You Have Lived!!!!!!! 

Pass this on to anyone who may need a break

from their 'Grown-Up' Life . . 

             I Double-Dog-Dare-Ya!

Trump wants to make America great again ???

Here is a sample of what he has to work with !!!  

This may be an uphill battle with this crew !!!

The biggest problem is......... they Vote !!!

Lord help us if they breed !!!

riends

This explains why friends forward jokes.

I've never thought of it this way before.

A man and his dog were walking along a road.
The man was enjoying the scenery,

When it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.

He remembered dying and that the dog walking

Beside him had been dead for years.

He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high, white stone

Wall along one side of the road.

It looked like fine marble.

At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch

That glowed in the sunlight.

When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent

Gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl and

The street that led to the gate looked like pure gold.

He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got

Closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.



When he was close enough, he called out,

“Excuse me, where are we?” 

“This is Heaven, sir,” the man answered.

”Wow! Would you happen to have some water?”

The man asked.

”Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have

Some ice water brought right up.”

The man gestured, and the gate began to open.

“Can my friend,” gesturing toward his dog,

“come in, too?” the traveler asked.

”I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.”

The man thought a moment and then turned

Back toward the road and continued the way

He had been going with his dog.

After another long walk, and at the top of another

Long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a

Farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. 

There was no fence.

As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside,

Leaning against a tree and reading a book.

”Excuse me!” he called to the man.

“Do you have any water?”

”Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there,

Come on in.”

”How about my friend here?” the traveler

Gestured to the dog.

”There should be a bowl by the pump,” said the man.

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there

Was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.

The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long

Drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.

When they were full, he and the dog walked back

Toward the man who was standing by the tree.

”What do you call this place?” the traveler asked. 

“This is Heaven,” he answered.

”Well, that's confusing,” the traveler said.

”The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.'”
”Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly

Gates? Nope. That's Hell.”

”Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?”

”No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would

Leave their best friends behind.”

So-o-o-o. Now you see, sometimes, we wonder why friends

Keep forwarding stuff to us without writing a word.

Maybe this will explain it.

When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch,

Guess what you do?  You forward emails!

When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact,

You forward jokes!

When you have something to say, but don't know what,

And don't know how . . . . You forward stuff!

A 'forward' lets you know that . . .

. . . You are still remembered,

. . . You are still important,

. . . You are still loved,

. . . You are still cared for.

So, next time if you get a 'forward',

Don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke,

But that you've been thought of today

And your friend on the other end of your computer

Wanted to send you a smile.

You are welcome at my water bowl anytime !!



So here's to keeping in touch . . ..

Even if it means only forwarding on an email !

Thanks for being my friend.

God Bless

Charles Krauthammer, one of our best and brightest! His article exposes a “Serious and Present Danger” to all of US,

Charles Krauthammer https://ecelebrityfacts.com/images/31589/charles-krauthammer-1504874944.jpg Fact or fiction? If you don’t know that much about Charles Krauthammer, he is one of the best and brightest in our nation. For him to write an article like this shows the seriousness of the situation. I have no idea about Charles’ politics, for he has been both optimistic and pessimistic about Trump – as he was about Obama. It would take a fool not to have seen what Obama was desperately trying to do to the United States, and, in my opinion, he was almost fully successful. Just take a look around today at the lawlessness in our country and the higher up politicos such as Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Hillary and Bill Clinton that have committed crimes and seem to be untouchable. Our nation is in divided uproar and, it seems, that no one wants to call it out or do anything about it. I would suppose that the time to have done anything about it was when Obama was still in office) I would advise anyone NOT to even look at Snopes for verification of the information given below, as George Soros founded Snopes, and probably still calls all the shots there. An article by Charles K. it should be a Halloween message. New York Post: I do not understand how living in a country with its democracy established over 200 years ago, and now, for the first time in history, suddenly we have one of our former presidents set up a group called "Organizing for Action" (OFA). OFA is 30,000+ strong and working to disrupt everything that our current president’s administration is trying to do. This organization goes against our Democracy, and it is an operation that will destroy our way of governing. It goes against our Constitution, our laws, and the processes established over 200 years ago. If it is allowed to proceed then we will be living in chaos very much like third world countries are run. What good is it to have an established government if it is not going to be respected and allowed to follow our laws? If you had an army some 30,000 strong and a court system stacked over the decades with judges who would allow you to break the laws, how much damage could you do to a country? We are about to find out in America! Our ex-president said he was going to stay involved through community organizing and speak out on the issues and that appears to be one post-administration promise he intends to keep. He has moved many of his administration's top dogs over to Organizing for Action. OFA is behind the strategic and tactical implementation of the resistance to the Trump Administration that we are seeing across America, and politically active courts are providing the leverage for this revolution. OFA is dedicated to organizing communities for "progressive" change. Its issues are gun control, socialist healthcare, abortion, sexual equality, climate change, and of course, immigration reform. OFA members were propped up by the ex-president's message from the shadows: "Organizing is the building block of everything great we have accomplished Organizers around the country are fighting for change in their communities and OFA is one of the groups on the front lines. Commit to this work in 2017 and beyond." OFA's website says it obtained its "digital" assets from the ex-president's re-election effort and that he inspired the movement. In short, it is the shadow government organization aimed at resisting and tearing down the Constitutional Republic we know as AMERICA. Paul Sperry, writing for the New York Post, says, “The OFA will fight President Donald Trump at every turn of his presidency and the ex-president will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House." Sperry writes that, “The ex-president is setting up a shadow government to sabotage the Trump administration through a network of non-profits led by OFA, which is growing its war chest (more than $40 million) and has some 250 offices nationwide. The OFA IRS filings, according to Sperry, indicate that the OFA has 32,525 (and growing) volunteers nationwide. The ex-president and his wife will oversee the operation from their home/ office in Washington DC. Think about how this works.. For example: Trump issues an immigration executive order; the OFA signals for protests and statements from pro-immigrant groups; the ACLU lawyers file lawsuits in jurisdictions where activist judges obstruct the laws; volunteers are called to protest at airports and Congressional town hall meetings; the leftist media springs to action in support of these activities; the twitter sphere lights up with social media; and violence follows. All of this happens from the ex-president's signal that he is heartened by the protests. If Barack Obama did not do enough to destroy this country in the 8 years he was in office, it appears his future plans are to destroy the foundation on which this country has operated on for the last 241 years. If this does not scare you, then we are in worse trouble than you know. So, do your part. You have read it, so at least pass this on so others will know what we are up against. We are losing our country and we are so compliant. We are becoming a "PERFECT TARGET" for our enemy! Charles Krauthammer

SOME STATES (Maryland, Michigan & Arizona) ARE ALLOWING MUSLIM STUDENTS TO PRAY DURING SCHOOL HOURS. IF THEY ALLOW THAT, THEN WE SHOULD BRING BACK OUR FLAGS INTO THE CLASSROOMS AND ALLOW OTHERS TO PRAY TOO!

Forwarding this message is far more important than getting replies. Should it strike a chord in you which causes you to forward it, then the desired impact will be achieved. I'm sending this to a variety of friends & family to see what kind of opinions this might bring forth. SOME STATES (Maryland, Michigan & Arizona) ARE ALLOWING MUSLIM STUDENTS TO PRAY DURING SCHOOL HOURS. IF THEY ALLOW THAT, THEN WE SHOULD BRING BACK OUR FLAGS INTO THE CLASSROOMS AND ALLOW OTHERS TO PRAY TOO! TIME FOR THE CHRISTIANS TO SPEAK UP & DEMAND THEIR RIGHTS. When we get 100,000,000, that's one hundred million, willing Christians to BOND together, voice their concerns and vote, we can take back America with God's help. Become one of the One hundred million. Then let's get 200 million. It can be done just by sending this email to your friends. Do the math. It only takes a single willing heart and a fed-up SOUL. God Bless America and Shine your light on Her! In 1952 President Truman established one day a year as a "National Day of Prayer. In 1988 President Reagan designated the first Thursday in May of each year as The National Day of Prayer. In June 2007, then Presidential Candidate Barack Obama declared that the USA "Was no longer a Christian nation. In May 2009 President Obama dismissed our 21st annual National Day of Prayer ceremony at the White House under the ruse of "not wanting to offend anyone" Sept. 25, 2009, a Muslim Prayer Day was held on the West front of the U.S. Capitol Building, the site where U.S. Presidents have been inaugurated since 1981. There were over 50,000 Muslims in D.C. That day President Obama dismissed our National Day of Prayer and now it is okay for an event at our capitol for Islamists? I for one was offended.. But wait, it did not stop!!! February 17-19, 2015, a Muslim prayer was recited at the start of the second day of the White House summit on "Countering Violent Extremism," but no other religious text was presented during the portion of the event that was open to the press. Imam Sheikh Sa'ad Musse Roble, president of the World Peace Organization in Minneapolis, Minn., recited a "verse from the Quran" following remarks by Obama administration officials and Democrat members of Congress. Former President Obama encouraged schools to teach the Quran for extra credit, while at the same time, we cannot even talk about the Bible, God, pray, or salute the American Flag. The direction this country was headed should strike fear in the heart of every Christian. How refreshing and beautiful our First Lady Melania Trump was in Melbourne, Florida on February 18, 2017. Instead of the normal "pumping up" of the crowd, Melania chose to start the rally off with the Lord's Prayer. It sounded more like the start of a football game after the National Anthem rather than what we would expect to hear after a prayer. Make a "joyful noise unto the LORD thy GOD!" The "sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" of Madeline Murray O'Hair and ACLU efforts in 1962, "School Prayer was removed from the U.S. Public education system by slowly changing the meaning of the First Amendment through a number of court cases over several court cases should be confronted and reversed.. Send this to ten people, or even one hundred and ten, and send it to the person who sent it to you! To let them know that indeed, it was sent out to many more.
