OMG They Found the Cure for Stupid

Yes Ducky - that made perfect sense.
My nephew came home from the hospital this week. His leg
still looks awful, but he is doing much better. They administer antibiotics
daily through his PIC line. He also has a home nurse that changes his wrap
every few days. The doctor said it can take up to a month to heal. The new meds
seem to be working - his WBC is down. I made him homemade sauce/gravy which
should last him the whole week.GMA, love that picture of you and your grandchildren!!! They
are adorable!! I'm so glad you get to see them often. My boys left for
Wisconsin on Wednesday and they arrived today. I miss them terribly! I've got
my girls - ages 6 and 12 coming on Tuesday to spend the night. I want to take
them to the water park on Wednesday. Hopefully my body will cooperate! I'm
keeping an eye out to see if this acupuncture works for you. If it works for
you, I may just get up the nerve to try it myself. I'm really pulling for you!!FK having senior moments? Or, is it Ducky? I have them often
and I'm not even a senior!! My son's birthday was today and I actually thought
he was older than he is. He turned 24 today, and I thought he was turning 25! Now
that's pretty bad!! I'm such a dork!!Monis, I am a former sun worshiper. When I was a kid in
Rockaway, we used baby oil and iodine mixed together to tan. Who knew????
Everyone did it. It was like basting a turkey.Hope you all are doing well. It was a crazy week for me and I'm glad it's the weekend.

mom never let me add the iodine to baby oil....maybe that is why I never got really dark~~

Nothing I tried ever turned me brown. I just get red, then back to white. I'm so glad pasty white is more popular now. I really stand out in Hawaii.

I know lots who still do the tanning bit but honestly, most have many more wrinkles!! got enough of them so do not need help!

I never was a sun worshiper
I hate the summer
Sure I have a few wrinkles but it's from smoking
My mom was wrinkled like a prune,she loved the sun...
My friend was and still is a sun worshiper and looks way older then I do now that we r up there
I used to use the self tanning but now I'm chemical free,,,well almost....

FK, I was born in Rockaway. I moved when I was 14 to California.
Ducky, not only did we add iodine to our baby oil, but we also used that silver contraption (see below).
I stopped worshiping the sun in my 30's. Like FK, I now hate the summer and the heat.
Wren, I've always tanned very easily. It's the Italian skin. My daughter is very white and burns very easily.
proud, you should be glad your mother didn't allow it! My mom encouraged it and used it herself. Back in those days, they didn't know any better.

Slow..........OMG.......I remember that damn thing.............LOL...............back then using sunscreen was like using a "car seat"........remember that..........your kid jumped from the front to the back, hung out the window............and what the hell was a bike helmet................now when they ride a bike they look like they are going to war.........LOL
And we all survived, and so did our kids........well at least this "old lady's did".................quiet FK, your no spring chicken.......................

YES! I remember.....we NEVER wore car seats!! I can remember me and my nephew bumping heads when we turned a corner too sharp in my sisters car. We would hold on for dear life! When I rode on the bus as a kid, we would sit on the back of the bus seats with the windows wide open. Ignorance sure was bliss back in those days!

When we were kids, we would have so much fun all laying down in the back of the station wagon. We played and had a great time back there. I had never heard of car seats until I had a baby in the late 80's.

I had my first baby in 1957........about that time they had this thing they called a "car seat".......when my son was old enough to be in one........we bought it..............
It was a plastic seat with metal sides that had hinges so it could be closed..........it had 2 hooks on the back that went over the back of the front seat of your car .......in the middle........back then the seats in the car wnet straight across in the front.......you would put this seat in the middle, over the back of the seat........NOW THE BEST PART........in the middle of this car seat, was a steering wheel, which had a big screw that held the wheel to the front of the car seat...............LOL.........if you stopped too fast, and did not put your arm across the kid, they would have the imprint of the "screw" in their forehead for a week....................oh, and did I mention.......no kid every stayed in the damn seat..........they jumped out, climbed across the seat to the back of the car, run around back there, and then when they were ready got back in the car seat for another few minutes they would jump into the front seat again, and climb back into it.....LOL........................Talk about safety..............
When I tell this story people (younger people of today) roll on the floor laughing...................I wonder sometimes how our kids lived to the age they are now..........LOL
How many ladies remember feeding your baby the bottle.....in the front seat of the car............when there was no such thing as a "seat belt", or an "air bag"........................we were not bad parent's...............its just those things did not exist........remember I am 79, and my oldest is going to be 57 next month...........

OMG Ducky....that's too funny! Here is a picture of one of the old car seats!
Can you imagine that now????? Now the kids are strapped in so tight they can barely breathe!!!
0 -
Slow......and this was his car bed that stayed in the back...........I swear we were nuts.......today we would be locked up, or reported to Child Services......
And yes, the kids today are strapped in so tight it is ridiculous....I get uncomfortable just looking at them........LOL.........I actually owned one of these things.
0 -
WOW....I've never seen that!! Remember the old baby carriers? They look so flimsy compared with what they use today.
0 -
Yea, had one of those too........LOL...........

Ok....had to share this....This was my all time favorite doll as a kid. Remember pulling the string and the body would wiggle???? I just loved this thing!!! Thumbelina doll!! Problem was I had to give her a hair cut. I'm not sure why kids to that...it totally ruined the doll.
Edited to Add: This topic would make a great thread. Call it "A Blast from the Past"

The good old days
I had everything u mentioned
And that contraption with the silver foil

Slow......that sounds like a great thread..........
FK......what do you think............Slow could start one also........imagine all the things people would put on that they remember.......sounds like fun.............still trying to think of a name for our new one...........I am drawing a blank..............I think a lot depends on "what we're planning on talking about".............just general stuff, or specific...........gotta put my thinking cap on tighter......

The rip tides in Rockaway were brutal when I was a kid. We lost many people.
You were asking for name ideas for a new thread. That was for you and FK - not me! Just throwing it out there
I'm not sure how much conversation it would provoke. I know I could talk for hours on old things from the past.0 -
How about "Between Friends"..............
Slow your idea was a good one.....we can do 2 threads......
0 -
hahahaha. I think I'll leave the thread starting to you guys! I'm lucky I can keep up with this thread!!

Ducky, FK, Monis, Wren, Proud and anyone else lurking, I hope you have a good day today!!
