Dear Facebook, I do not want to ask Meta AI anything, so if you could just give me my search bar back, that’ll be great. Ok thanks!

Lost Words from our childhood
Murgatroyd! Do you remember that word? Would you believe the spell-checker did not recognize the word Murgatroyd? “Heavens to Murgatroyd!”
The other day a not so elderly (I say 75) lady said something to her son about driving a Jalopy; and he looked at her quizzically and said,"What the heck is a Jalopy?" He had never heard of the word jalopy! She knew she was old ... But not that old. Well, I hope you are Hunky Dory after you read this and chuckle.
About a month ago, I illuminated some old expressions that have become obsolete because of the inexorable march of technology. These phrases included: Don't touch that dial, Carbon copy, You sound like a broken record, and, Hung out to dry.Back in the olden days we had a lot of moxie. We'd put on our best bib and tucker, to straighten up and fly right. Heavens to Betsy! Gee whillikers! Jumping Jehoshaphat! Holy Moley! Holy Toledo! We were in like Flynn and living the life of Riley; and even a regular guy couldn't accuse us of being a knucklehead, or a nincompoop. Not for all the tea in China!
Back in the olden days, life used to be swell, but when's the last time anything was swell? Swell has gone the way of beehives, pageboys and the D.A.; of spats, knickers, fedoras, poodle skirts, saddle shoes, and pedal pushers. Oh, my aching back! Kilroy was here, but he isn't anymore. We wake up from what surely has been just a short nap, and before we can say, "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!" Or, “This is a fine kettle of fish!" We discover that the words we grew up with, the words that seemed omnipresent, as oxygen, have vanished with scarcely a notice from our tongues and our pens and our keyboards. P**f, go the words of our youth, the words we've left behind. We blink, and they're gone. Where have all those great phrases gone? Long gone: Pshaw, The milkman did it. Hey! It's your nickel. Don't forget to pull the chain. Knee high to a grasshopper. Well, Fiddlesticks! (My dad’s fav word)
Going like sixty.
I'll see you in the funny papers.
Don't take any wooden nickels.
Wake up and smell the roses. It turns out there are more of these lost words and expressions than Carter has liver pills. This can be disturbing stuff! (Carter's Little Liver Pills are gone too!)
We of a certain age have been blessed to live in changeable times. For a child each new word is like a shiny toy, a toy that has no age. We at the other end of the chronological arc have the advantage of remembering there are words that once did not exist and there were words that once strutted their hour upon the earthly stage and now are heard no more, except in our collective memory.
It's one of the greatest advantages of aging! Leaves us to wonder where Superman will find a phone booth...
See ya later, alligator! Okidoki. You'll notice they left out "Monkey Business"!!!WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE FABULOUS 30's, 40's, 50's & 60'S ...NO ONE WILL EVER HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY AGAIN ...WE WERE GIVEN ONE OF OUR MOST PRECIOUS GIFTS: LIVING IN THE PEACEFUL AND COMFORTABLE TIMES, CREATED FOR US BY THE "GREATEST GENERATION!"

The Paradoxical Commandments
by Dr. Kent M. Keith

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway!

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway!

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway!

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway!

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway!

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway!

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway!

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway!

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway!

Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway!
