We grew up drinking milk so that our bones didn't break every time we tripped and fell. We grew up with only three channels--four if PBS was coming in--so we went outside to play to fight the boredom, and actually built up some muscle and stamina. Nowadays every other kid has weight problems, diabetes, asthma...it's depressing. Now we're stopping physical exertion at recess? Why not just box 'em up and raise them like veal?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-1161235512986283412006-10-19T00:25:00.000-05:002006-10-19T00:25:00.000-05:00Just say no to bad jeans: EXCELLENT words to live ...Just say no to bad jeans: EXCELLENT words to live by!xxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348725618072239708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-1161227595936838772006-10-18T22:13:00.000-05:002006-10-18T22:13:00.000-05:00Wow.

The reason? I was pulled off the bars by a friend (I had been swinging by my knees). I fell on my head, fractured my cheek & nose and had a major concussion. The blue/green/purple eyes that ensued were a dream come true (I loved the attention). I'm thinking that, as a loyal American, I should hire a lawyer to sue my friend that pulled me from the bar. But dang, she did me such a social favor!!! Recess is where we earn our first battle scars. I agree with Kim.

The wording on the slip made jumping rope sound so deadly (and I wasn't allowed to hold them accountable if my child did die -- death clause, for real.)<BR/><BR/>twas rediculous, but better to sign a waiver than stop the children from playing tag.<BR/><BR/>Wonder where Red Rover stands.kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07393608709089617036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-1161201731944329542006-10-18T15:02:00.000-05:002006-10-18T15:02:00.000-05:00I grew up in Attleboro and have the skinned knees ...I grew up in Attleboro and have the skinned knees to prove it!
