Stargate the Ark of Truth...

Stargate SG1 ended it's 10 year run on SciFi Channel last year. It's spin off series Stargate Atlantis is currently airing it's 4th season on Friday nights on SciFi Channel.

When Stargate SG1 ended they left us with the Ori story line unfinished. However MGM green lighted two SG1 movies shortly after the series was cancelled by SciFi. The first of these two made for DVD movies will be released on March 11th. This one titled "The Ark of Truth" will pick up where the tv series ended and wrap up the Ori story line.

Later this year the second movie "Stargate Continuum" will be released and this one is a stand alone story.

While I do plan of purchasing both movies I have to admit the second sounds and looks more interesting to me.

Currency Part Two...

Not sure why I have some many different bills from Venezuela. I did enjoy my time in Venezuela and would love to go back some day. All of the scans in this post are of different denominations of bills from Venezuela.

Cleaning up today I ran across a box with a foreign currency from past travels out of the United States. Thought it would be fun to scan some of the bills and post pictures of the scans.

To All The Kids Who Survived The 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!!

To Those Who Survived

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.

They took asprin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risk we took hitchhiking.

As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank koolade made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because:

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day.

And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phoes, no personal computers, no Internet or chat rooms.....

WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, and made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.

They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned

HOW TO

DEAL WITH IT ALL!!

IF YOU ARE ONE OF THEM...

CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives

for our own good

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!
