Have a good swim Palo...the acceleration may be wondrous for us all, but I am with Loddy, I relish my childhood memories, and am so glad that I grew up when I did...I would also, never change it for anything...

Say, Loddy, do you remember the old timey Polio shots they gave out then...its not like now, with the oral vaccine, given in doses....in my time it was with the reusable, sterlized needle....

I remember the Polio scares, and when the finally got the vaccine...my dad and uncle from downstairs, loaded me and my brother, and my two cousins into the car, and took us all to our favorite family doc, Dr. Rosen...

They lined us four kids in a row, and one by one, Doc Rosen gave each one of us our shot in turn...

My mom and aunt did not go with in the car....I guess they did not want to hear the sound of four kids whining and crying about how much that shot hurt...so they entrusted us to the care of our dad and uncle...

Of course, dad and uncle were badgered into taking us kids all out for an ice cream cone after our shot...

hi andysmom
it's good to cherish memories of happy childhood
even unhappy experiences (junior high school) were rich in life, emotion, and adventure
(I suffered then but giggle bout them now)
it's nice also to look forward to a glorious future again
childhood is remarkable world cause all we did was play
Love, Palo

I remember the polio scares and the polio shots
I thought they gave us the shots in school???)

Yes I do. All us kids lined up to get plugged! I also know that my cousin got a lite dose of the polio, and turned out to be a SpecialForces Colonel, years later. Who knows. What is meant to be will be.
