I am so blessed with parents that took me and my siblings to the library at a very early to get our cards and saw to it that we went to the library on a regular basis. When we got a television set, it was not turned on during the week. There were at most 3-4 hours of viewing on any given weekend and it was considered a treat, not a right. When we would beg for certain toys as children, we were often told to use our imaginations and play. We had a simple routine during the school year - get home and change out of our good clothes, do chores, eat supper, do homework then we have free time. We were allowed to use the phone in high school to get assistance from friends for homework and were allowed just a bit of time for socializing. Young kids did not use the phone. We were so primitive growing up in that rural area that we didn't even lock the house and left the keys in the car at all times.goeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781857563232791703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-1131893992730325632005-11-13T06:59:00.000-08:002005-11-13T06:59:00.000-08:00Another spot on post.

That is, I wish to protect them from "command hallucinations" coming from the mouse ears and put them on the path to knowing their transcendant selves via a 10 mile hike.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
