Ken always likes to tell people about the time when he was a kid, and with his sling shot, he accidentally fired a marble through the window of a neighbour's house. The police came around to ask if he knew anything about it, and he admitted to doing it. They took him to the local copshop and held him in a cell until his Mum got home from work. When she brought him home, his Dad gave him a belting for breaking the window. Can you imagine this happening these days with a 12 year old kid???Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-62055050146772723562010-01-26T10:35:12.666+11:002010-01-26T10:35:12.666+11:00Merle ~ Boy did Ike ever get that one right!

They have it soooooo much tougher with the authorities than we did 'back then'. [I shot a pistol for the first time out back of the school house during a school play. A bunch of us not in the current act went out and shot it.]<br />[I had my first taste of whiskey at high school prom. It got taken away.]<br />[The Town Marshall didn't even call my parents when I had a little 'mishap' with my truck and a pile of dirt dug out for some street repair and construction.]<br />[We didn't even have an 'A school'.]<br /><br />I liked your Thursday trial scene with Satan and Christ as the attoneys. A blonde joke I missed below too, about the blondes on the upper deck. Every now and then I do a search for 'blonde' on your page.<br /><br />Your meme and award are neat.<br />Cheers,<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-6109608999154958002010-01-25T23:48:52.036+11:002010-01-25T23:48:52.036+11:00I'm glad it's a bit cooler there Merle.......I'm glad it's a bit cooler there Merle.... and congratulations on the award!!!!<br /><br />And by far, this is the absolute BEST post you've ever made!

I also copied the Ike story and sent to all the people on my e-mail list, except for you, since you had already received it once. Temp says it's still 47 F outside, which is a lot warmer than what we've been having but the house feels just as cold as if it were 15 F out there. Have a wonderful Sunday and try to keep cool.

I'm still trying to figure out how to put that award on my side bar. I think I need some kind of a code to enter into Typepad, but I can't seem to find one. I've tried to just copy and paste the picture, but that doesn't seem to work. I guess I won't worry about it.<br /><br />I hope you're having a nice weekend sweet friend. It's still pretty cold here...30's, but the snow has been melting; so that's a good thing. I hope you've been feeling well sweetie...take care.

Some of mine would be the same. <br /><br />Have to say I haven't heard of any debate about the Holocaust being removed form the National Curriculum in the UK. There seem to be rumours circulating which have no basis at all. The Holocaust Educational Trust here has put out a denial about it. <br /><br />Teaching of the Holocaust is compulsory in all UK secondary schools between the ages of 11 and 14 and will be for the for-seeable future under this government. <br /><br />The British Government also sponsors two students (16–18 year olds) per secondary school/<br />further education college to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau through the Holocaust Educational<br />Trust’s Lessons from Auschwitz Project. The money has come from a £1.5 million grant every year from 2006 and will continue to 2011.<br /><br />Don't think it would ever be allowed to come off the curriculum,. If it offends anyone, tough luck!Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-63707592708361378382010-01-24T03:46:51.216+11:002010-01-24T03:46:51.216+11:00Hello Merle,

It would be funny if there weren't so much truth in it. <br /><br /> I knew if I misbehaved in school, not only would I have to answer the teacher, but when I got home I would have to answer to my Mother. And I never wanted to upset my Mother, 'cause if Mama's not happy, nooo body's happy! ; )<br /><br />Have a wonderful week-end.<br /><br />Ann Gigi Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092019687497845746noreply@blogger.com
