Remember When

----- Original Message -----
From: BOBWORN@aol.com

Subject: I Double-Dog Dare-Ya


REMEMBER WHEN
All the girls had ugly 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?


Your Mom wore 'nylons' that came in two pieces?


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.


How Many Of These Do You Remember?
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!

ARoundtuit

April 24, 2009
Dear Foster

This is a ARoundtuit
Remember I have often said, “when you get “A roundtuit” check your metacognition and recognize your thoughts.
In cognitive therapy, your behaviors are caused by your beliefs and your thoughts. When you get Aroundtuit and you check those beliefs and thoughts you might want to challenge some of them as irrational and change them for the better.
By changing your thoughts to be more rational, you will find that your behaviors change as well and your actions are more in tune with your goals.
Sooner or later you will recognize your thoughts and beliefs and you will be able to make more rational choices that will bring you’re the good life.
I hope that will be sooner than later.
If you wear this ARountuit around your neck everyday it will bring you good luck in all that you do, in that you will never again have to say, “When I get around to it I will…… because you will already have one.
It’s been great knowing you. Please come by often and keep us up on your behavior and activities. We wish you the best in your adult endeavors and pursuits of life liberty and happiness.

Nanobots

Subject: ibid

Nanomachines are largely in the research-and-development phase, but some primitive molecular machines have been tested. An example is a sensor having a switch approximately 1.5 nanometers across, capable of counting specific molecules in a chemical sample. The first useful applications of nanomachines, if such are ever built, might be in medical technology, where they might be used to identify cancer cells and destroy them. Another potential application is the detection of toxic chemicals, and the measurement of their concentrations, in the environment. Recently, Rice University has demonstrated a single-molecule car which is developed by a chemical process and includes buckyballs for wheels. It is actuated by controlling the environmental temperature and by positioning a scanning tunneling microscope tip.

Fix things in a livng system.I asked him if he was pulling my leg when he wrote the paper; it was a very scholarly paper, for a freshman English class.




They are endogneous particles/chemicals/hormones?? running around in our
bodies?? It sounds kind of like the job the white blood cells do for
infections.

Subject: I stand corrected and scammed



"Nanorobotics is the technology of creating machines or robots at or close to the microscopic scale of a nanometre (10-9 metres). More specifically, nanorobotics refers to the still largely hypothetical nanotechnology engineering discipline of designing and building nanorobots. Nanorobots (nanobots, nanoids, nanites or nanonites) would be typically devices ranging in size from 0.1-10 micrometers and constructed of nanoscale or molecular components. As no artificial non-biological nanorobots have yet been created, they remain a hypothetical concept."

Why use a counselor?

From Utah Mental Health Association:


Mental health counselors are uniquely qualified to provide high quality care that’s more affordable than other practitioners.

FACTS:
According to the report, "Mental Health, United States, 2002" published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), more than 100,000 professional counselors are licensed or certified for independent practice in the United States.
The majority of national behavioral health managed care companies reimburse mental health counselors for services they provide.
The median cost per session for mental health counselors is $85, compared to a median cost of $100 and $145 for psychologists and psychiatrists respectively, according to the October 2000 issue of Psychotherapy Finances.
Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia license or certify mental health counselors for private practice.
Mental health counselors adhere to a rigorous code of ethics.
Mental health counseling is a distinct profession with national standards for education, training and clinical practice. The American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA) is the professional membership organization that represents the mental health counseling profession. Clinical membership in AMHCA requires a master's degree in counseling or a closely related mental health field and adherence to AMHCA's National Standards for Clinical Practice.

Graduate education and clinical training prepare mental health counselors to provide a full range of services for individuals, couples, families, adolescents and children. The core areas of mental health programs approved by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs include:

Diagnosis and psychopathology
Psychotherapy
Psychological testing and assessment
Professional orientation
Research and program evaluation
Group counseling
Human growth and development
Counseling theory
Social and cultural foundations
Lifestyle and career development
Supervised practicum and internship
Licensure requirements for mental health counselors are equivalent to those for clinical social workers and marriage and family therapists - two other disciplines that require a master's degree for independent status.

A licensed mental health counselor has met or exceeded the following professional qualifications:
Earned a master's degree in counseling or a closely related mental health discipline;
Completed a minimum of two years post master's clinical work under the supervision of a licensed or certified mental health professional; and
Passed a state-developed or national licensure or certification examination.
Mental health counselors practice in a variety of settings, including independent practice, community agencies, managed behavioral health care organizations, integrated delivery systems, hospitals, employee assistance programs and substance abuse treatment centers. Mental health counselors are highly skilled professionals who provide a full range of services including:

Assessment and diagnosis
Psychotherapy
Treatment planning and utilization review
Brief and solution-focused therapy
Alcoholism and substance abuse treatment
Psychoeducational and prevention programs
Crisis management
In today's managed care environment, mental health counselors are uniquely qualified to meet the challenges of providing high quality care in a cost-effective manner. Mental health counselors provide flexible, consumer-oriented therapy. They combine traditional psychotherapy with a practical problem solving approach that creates a dynamic and efficient path for change and problem resolution.

Partnership for a Drug-Free America's Time To Talk.

That is why Comcast is a sponsor of Partnership for a Drug-Free America's Time To Talk. Since the inception of the Partnership, Comcast has provided more than $100 million in air time, digital advertising and other contributions. Time to Talk's online toolkit is the frontline approach to the Partnership's nationwide movement that reinforces the huge influence parents and caregivers have in helping children make healthy choices. Research shows that kids who consistently learn a lot about the risks of drugs and alcohol at home are up to 50% less likely to use than those who do not. Talking to your kids about the risks isn't as hard as you think. The Partnership helps make the conversation even easier with free, easy-to-use research-based tools, tips and monthly alerts to help you have ongoing discussions with your kids to help keep them healthy and drug-free.

There are great tools such as "How to start talking" and "Answer the question: "Did you do drugs?'" There is also a "TV Teachable Moments" tool that helps turn watching television with your child into an opportunity to talk about tough issues like alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs.

You are the most powerful influence in your child's life – greater than friends, athletes, musicians, and even celebrities!

Learn more to help start the conversation and keep it going.

Your friends at Comcast
