Really Beautiful!

I felt an inner strength of peace. I for one will look forward to future readings.

Love doesn't make the world go around; it's what makes the ride worth while.

A Dream within A Dream

Good reasoning!

Awesome!!! Beautiful!

After reviewing the new employee handbook many employees decided to look for new employment. Attached is a copy of the updated companies policies that outraged many.

DRESS CODE: This is to advise you that you need to come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing $350.00 Prada sneakers and carrying a $600.00 Gucci bag we will assume you are doing well financially and do not need a raise. If you dress poorly you will need to learn to manage your money better so that you might buy nicer clothes, therefore, you do not need a raise. If you dress in between you are right where you need to be and, therefore, do not need a raise.

SICK DAYS: We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of illness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

PERSONAL DAYS: Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year, they are called Saturday and Sunday.

BEREAVEMENT LEAVE: This is no excuse for missing work. You can do nothing for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, funerals should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and leave one hour early.

RESTROOM USE: Entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom. A strict three-minute time limit in the stalls is being put in effect. After three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "chronic offenders" category.

Welcome, the company looks forward to many happy and productive years while you struggle to keep your head above water.

Some folks especially those living in the country didn't have running water in the house, they bathed once a week everyone used the same water.

instant or soluble coffee was invented and patented in 1890

and actually Radar was used quite successfully by the British and US-Forces in WWII! So were some of the other Items you mentioned.

Conrad, Thank you for the corrections, your input is actually appreciated. These are just some random thoughts that I was discussing with my grandchildren. They couldn't imagine having to carry water from the well into the house, no plumbing in many country homes.

NO wonder we are so confused and there is such a generation gap today!

BUT WE SURVIVED!!!! WHAT BETTER REASON TO CELEBRATE??

WE ARE SURVIVERS!!! Consider these changes we have witnessed: we were born before television, before penicillin, before polio shots, frozen foods, frozen meals, Xerox, plastic, contact lenses, Frisbees and the PILL.

We were certainly not before the difference between the sexes was discovered but were surely before the sex change; we made do with what we had. And we were the last generation that was so dumb as to think you needed a husband to have a baby.

In our day, cigarette smoking was fashionable, GRASS was mowed, COKE was a cold drink and POT was something you cooked in. ROCK MUSIC was a Grandma's lullaby and AIDS were helpers in the Principal's office.

In 1950, "made in Japan" meant junk and the term "making out" referred to how you did on your exam. Pizzas, McDonalds and instant coffee were unheard of.

We got married first and then lived together. How Quaint can one be?

We were before radar, credit cards, split atoms, laser beams and ballpoint pens, before panty hose, dishwashers, clothes dryer, electric blanket, air conditioners, drip dry clothes, and before man walked on the moon.

We hit the scene when there were 5 & 10 cent stores, where you bought things for five and ten cents, Sanders and Wilson sold ice cream cones for a nickel or a dime. For one nickel you could ride a street care, make a phone call, buy a soda, enough stamps to mail a letter and two post cards. You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600, but who could afford one; a pity too, because gas was .11 cents a gallon!

We thought fast food was what you ate during lent, and Outer Space was the back of the Riviera Theatre.

In our time, closets were for clothes, not "coming out of." Bunnies were small rabbits and rabbits were not Volkswagons. Designer jeans were scheming girls named Jean or Jeanne, and having a meaningful relationship meant getting along well with our cousins.
