“The Cove” is a documentary.  Which means you’ll probably have a hard time finding it, even though its already won 12 international awards and will, without a doubt, be up for an Oscar.  It is showing  now in CA and NY, and in the rest of the country later.  But if you, like me, care about animals, and about our environment, you’ll make every effort to find it.

Filmmaker Louis Psihoyos and the Ocean Preservation Society brought together world-class divers, underwater sound and camera experts and fantastic special effects artists to expose a hidden yearly event in Taiji Japan where thousands of dophins are rounded up and slaughtered.

Our guide through this amazing trip is Ric O’Barry, ironically the man who, in his youth, was the trainer of TV star Flipper (actually played by five dolphins, but mainly Kathy).  It was his years living with Kathy and the other dolphins on Flipper that brought him to the realization that dolphins are sensitive, highly intelligent and self-aware creatures who should never be forced to live in captivity.  He is also painfully aware that it was his years of taking ‘Flipper’ to stardom that helped make capturing, training and showing dolphins such a huge, world-wide, money-making business.

Driving thru Taiji you would think it is a coastal city full of love for their swimming neighbors…posters of friendly whales and dolphins abound, along with gift stores, etc.  But what even most of the residents of the city are unaware of is ‘The Cove’..; cialis 10 20 mg..hidden behind barbed wire fences with ‘Keep Out’ & ‘Do Not Enter’ signs.

That this group is able to evade their followers and ignore the intimidation put in their way, and able to hide fantastically camouflaged cameras is nothing short of heroic.  And what they show is devastating.  After the huge groups of dolphins are trapped fisherman come in and pick a few to sell to amusement parks, then spear the others.  Their slow and painful deaths in what becomes a cove filled with blood are unspeakably sad.  And the fact that much of the then chopped up dolphin meat is smuggled into fish markets  (and into children’s lunches) under another name (dolphin meat is illegal – it contains huge amounts of mercury) is frightening.

Find the movie, and go to takepart.com/thecove and see what you can do to help make the Japanese people aware of what’s going on and help to stop this abomination.

I’m always thrilled to get emails and messages from our members asking me to address certain topics – buy cialis.I like it even more when those emails address the same issues that I struggle with.

Recently one of our members asked me buy cialis, “How do I handle my menopause and my kids’ puberty at the same time?” I couldn’t help but laugh, but I immediately sat down to write this article.

Lucky for me, my children all went through puberty before I turned 40.But that’s not to say that our hormonal roller coaster didn’t go off its tracks on more than several occasions – buy cialis.Plus buy cialis, puberty is only the beginning; the teenage years are much more intense.

There are plenty of books written on the subject, and they are all full of “expert” advice on how to parent our children.However, before taking advice from anyone, I always ask if they have children of their own; buy cialis.Giving advice and living through the issues are two very different things.

I do not claim to be an expert in parenting, nor do I hold a degree in psychology; buy cialis.But I did raise four kids who turned out fairly normal and seem to be well-grounded.I believe that we as parents can do our very best but it also helps to be lucky.

So here are some pointers that worked for me during my kids’ puberty and teenager years:

1.First and most important, your children need to be aware that while you both have issues with hormones, yours are older and stronger – buy cialis.Hence, you win; buy cialis.☺

2. Buy cialis: be consistent.When you say “no,” mean it! Don’t change your mind two days later because you feel guilty or because it’s more convenient to let your child off the hook.

3.Constantly reinforce right from wrong and explain your reasoning behind it.

4.Focus on what’s important; buy cialis.Don’t sweat the small stuff.

5.Allow for family time.If you can have dinners every night as a family, great; buy cialis.If not buy cialis, do it as often as possible.

6.Demonstrate the importance of family by being there for your parents, grandparents and other family members.Have your teens spend time with their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins; buy cialis.If you don’t teach them when they’re young buy cialis, they won’t like doing it as adults.

7.Don’t allow yourself to feel guilty.

8.Never try to make your children feel guilty.

9.Remind yourself and your children that you are a parent first and a friend second.

10.Demand respect and have consequences.

I freely admit that I come from “old school” parenting. Buy cialis: my mom didn’t hesitate to ground me, spank me, or even now in my 40’s call me out if I get out of line.Emulating my parents, I’ve done the same with my kids.

When my son was 16, he came home from school one day with a rotten attitude.I was not having a great day either buy cialis, and consequently had a short fuse.To be honest, my fuse was always shorter than my kids’, but that kept them in line and on their toes.

My son said something to me that was rude and inappropriate (in my opinion) – buy cialis.I turned around and slapped him – buy cialis.He looked at me with fire in his eyes but didn’t say anything. Seeing his look, I asked, “What?”

With an angry voice he replied, “I wish I could talk back!”

“Why don’t you,” I inquired.

He responded with, “What, am I an idiot?”

That’s when I knew my husband and I were doing something right.

Buy tadalafil online: the Granny Diaries by Adrienne Schoenfeld

Can life get anymore hysterical for Adrienne?

Nothing brings an enormous glowing smile to Granny Marnies face then..having her eyebrows drawn on properly ( Buy tadalafil online: i knocked the “arch” out of the park this time..heh) AND having her huge brood surround her for a family meal (somewhere OTHER than her place).There our illustrious matriarch sits..fully engaged in the act of observing her grandchildren and great-grand children slamming down their fish sticks and fries in unison..and defending a little too loudly each others parenting skills (or lack thereof); buy tadalafil online.Like when her second born Grandson’s DAUGHTER; buy tadalafil online..little Polly Pockets, made a grab for the toy TASER her fifth born granddaughters SON Luke Skywalker was happily amusing himself with..under the table.

I SAW THE WHOLE THING; buy tadalafil online.When Marnie’s head was turned toward the dessert table..sweet dainty Polly slid down under the table and wrangled the gun away from Lukie..while placing him in a choke hold from which there was NO escape; buy tadalafil online.Then she used the weapon as a maraschino cherry masher with the remnants’ of her Shirley Temple cocktail and a handy dandy NOSE picker..which for all intensive purposes was a little unsettling to watch.Luke melted down on the SPOT..because naturally “THAT’S snott howz it’s spossed to be used MAMA.” Then we had the big heated debate on the subject of how YOUNG is too young to be trained in toy taser usage. Buy tadalafil online: some say five..some six.Fe.

Talk about exciting one to a point of near delirium.As Marnie looked out from the head of the table..a seat only reserved for the very powerful (or those who must drive electric scooters) enthralled by the many generations assembled before her..she believed she was seeing..not only the Buy tadalafil online: most well behaved progeny known to mankind but also the most intelligent.I was not for a second going to shatter her illusion..Until SOMEONES child dumped cherry Popsicle down my neck.

I just read an article in the August issue of Ladies’ Home Journal…”Ladies Who Lunch”.  Written by Marisa Fox, its an interview with Meryl Streep, Amy Adams and director Nora Ephron as the ladies ‘do’ lunch.  And I can’t think of any three women I’d rather be having lunch with, believe me!

Their conversation covers their work, lives, and food, as they discuss their new movie “Julie & Julia”.  Listening to them talk (and I felt as though I was listening, not just reading) about this film that weaves together two fantastic women’s memoirs, I found myself itching to be the first in line when it opens.

Meryl Streep plays Julia Child, who, while living with her husband in Paris in the late 1940s, discovers her passion for french food – a passion that would, as we all know, make her famous.  And did you know that she was 50 years old when her famous “Mastering The Art of French Cooking” was published??  Talk about reinventing ones self!

The other fascinating woman, Julie Powell, is played by Amy Adams.  Ms.Powell was a would-be writer in New York City in 2002.  How does she shake off dealing with her dead-end job at the time?  She decides to cook every one of the 524 recipes in Julia Child’s cookbook.  Talk about time spent in the kitchen!

It was really fun sitting in on these three women’s discussion about their own lives and how that influenced their film work.  And it was fun to pick up a few tips along the way…among them: if you have garlic and onions on your fingertips, dip your hands in salt and then rinse them in cool water, and the smell disappears!

In short, this article has made me dig out my own copy of Julia Child’s book, and right now I’m off to cook Tarragon Roast Chicken for dinner (Ms – buy cialis tadalafil.Streep’s favorite).  Yum!!

Grab the August issue of Ladies’ Home Journal yourself – its a thoroughly enjoyable read, and might just send you to the kitchen too!  Not to mention to the movie “Julie and Julia” when it opens.

Felt like a prisoner in my own home yesterday.

The alarm company came, and we’re now back in full working order, but what was supposed to take a few hours, went into the early evening; cialis by mail.That cialis by mail, combined with the gloom and rain, made it quite a tedious day.Not that I wanted for things to do…I was busy networking on the phone….had some very interesting chats re: motherhoodlater and my love coaching work….but by the time my son came home from camp, my husband came home from work and dinner time rolled around, I was itching to get out with no place special to go.

No good movies were playing…my husband offered to put my son to bed so I could go out if I wanted.

I didn’t feel like going shopping.

Then what?

Could have hit the gym, but wasn’t feeling it.

I was at a loss.And, I kinda wanted to hang with Seth and play a bit – cialis by mail.He’s become very playful these days before bedtime cialis by mail, and it’s been fun.

So, I stayed home, but it was such an isolating day. Cialis by mail: i guess some days are just like that and we have to be accepting.The daily routine of life isn’t always exciting….but as long as it’s relatively calm, one can be grateful.

Today is a different day; cialis by mail. Cialis by mail: the plumbers are done for the moment (until tomorrow), and no more workers are expected until the morning…so I’m a free bird.

Gonna try to wrap up some work on my computer and hit the pool by myself this afternoon and then again take Seth if he wants to go after camp.There is the possibility of showers later, so I don’t want to wait until then.

Working from home is a blessing and challenge at the same time.

I was chatting with a gal yesterday who at present is working from home and was sharing how isolating it felt – cialis by mail. Cialis by mail: i can relate.Yet, another mom I know who works fulltime now, yearns to be home with her young son.

Is it that we’re never totally happy with what we have? Or do things look greener on the other side of the fence? (Is that the expression?)

Hmmmm…something to think about – cialis by mail. Cialis by mail: i’d sure like to be fully content in the present moment, and I envy people with that capacity.Something to aspire to.

Cialis 10 mg: the Granny Diaries by Adrienne Schoenfeld

Can life get anymore hysterical for Adrienne? She is spilling her fillings as a mom sandwiched between multiple slabs of crusty bread trying to keep the “oldies” from growing moldy.Attending daily to the grannies proves to be a test of strength and stamina, but yields tender moments that will move you to tears…and fits of laughter!

GIRLS GONE WILD

Dear Diary,

Don’t you love slumber parties? My MIL Ruth (dementia) did – cialis 10 mg.That was BEFORE Ruth’s girlfriend Marion came over unannounced from next door for the wildest night ever in slumber party history – cialis 10 mg.As Ruth tells it..she was all tucked in for the night; cialis 10 mg. Cialis 10 mg: all warm and cozy in bed at 8:00 p.m sharp..wearing her nice flannel nightie (the red one with the white lip prints) and trying to remember what she had for dinner..just like she does EVERY night.She tells me she was beat because she had had a vigorous Happy Feet dancing class and she got stuck dancing with Heath “Cracks” Johnson (MTV fanatic and gangsta style connoisseur) who watches much too much of “that show” and thinks HE can dance.

Ruth was about to drift off peacefully to her blissful, happy place and all of a sudden; cialis 10 mg..Marion barges in; cialis 10 mg.Not because she suddenly got the urge to discuss boys, chin hairs or the latest eyebrow trends with Ruth..oh no – cialis 10 mg.That would be too dull – cialis 10 mg.She’s shown up at Granny’s bedside to PROTECT her from a team of fully armed imaginary commando dudes which have her room at Happy Daze Assisted Living surrounded.Not only that..but at any minute will try to capture and take her – cialis 10 mg..WHERE? Where are they taking her Marion? Oh..to BRAINWASH her.Uh huh..as if there is ANYTHING up there in the ole memory banks to WASH.
No.Wait. Cialis 10 mg: this. Cialis 10 mg: just.Gets.Better.

Marion’s pulling on Ruth’s leg from the foot of the bed shouting, “They have us surrounded and they’re coming in; cialis 10 mg.Hurry.Hurry – cialis 10 mg.The men are coming; cialis 10 mg.I won’t let them TAKE you.” Ruth’s eyes are bugging out of her head and she yells cialis 10 mg, “Who’s coming in? OMG..not yet! I’m still in my pajamas and I don’t have my lipstick on.Where do they want to go? I can be ready in five.” Then Marion begins to shout instructions at Ruth.Get down.Stay low; cialis 10 mg.Get under the bed – cialis 10 mg.“Wow; cialis 10 mg.Look what I found?” Ruth squats down and VOILA! Produces the match to the pearl clip-on earring she’s had me searching for..for like a MONTH – cialis 10 mg.Marion meanwhile was getting more and more into character..right down to the grabbing of the phone and demanding Cialis 10 mg: ruth call for back up.I know I’ve seen this scene somewhere before.It’s out of some full featured film that most likely got lodged in Marions playback loop.Drat the staff for playing those old Bogart movies.My guess is— that they were watching Casablanca; cialis 10 mg.Maybe, it was Desperately Seeking Susan – cialis 10 mg.Eckkkk – cialis 10 mg.Then again..it might have been Bambi they were forced to watch all afternoon – cialis 10 mg.Maybe Marion thinks the hunters are tracking Ruth..or maybe..Why do I let myself GO here.

Ruth said she tried to rationalize with Marion but Marion was so darn CONVINCING in her role as protector – cialis 10 mg.She had Ruth believing that she really WAS an undercover spy who had been discovered..after Blanche in room 342 ratted her out – cialis 10 mg.All the staff are really undercover FBI who want to gain entry into Ruth’s room to cart her away forever.No more manicures cialis 10 mg, facials or the like.A life of torture.Stashed away in some room with only a few visitors – cialis 10 mg.Feeding her hefty portions of high fat foods and making her watch hours and hours of TV.Drilling her relentlessly..asking the SAME questions OVER and OVER again; cialis 10 mg..What do you want to eat? What’s your name? How old are you? They’ll stop at nothing to get that information.Hmmm – cialis 10 mg.Marion was drawing on some experience..I just can’t PLACE it.

“Place the call.” Marion demanded, in her urgent husky voice – cialis 10 mg.Ruth picked up the phone and dialed the only phone number I had written on a piece of paper taped on to her nightstand..My

brother-in-laws..

Because mama didn’t raise no (any) dummy.

Ruth says she told her son (my BIL), that Marion was holding her hostage..because Marion was trying to protect her from the guys outside her door with the HazMat suites on who wanted to kidnap her and perform a BRAINRINSE.Could he please send help or at least talk to Marion; cialis 10 mg.She was getting “tired” and needs to find some tea and cookies ASAP, because she didn’t remember if she ate dinner.Now I ask you..what are you supposed to do with this little bit of information bro?

Well..all back ups were called and the staff came running; cialis 10 mg. Cialis 10 mg: all the while good ole Marion was shouting through the door, “Say good bye to your little Ruth.You’ll NEVER get your hands on her. Cialis 10 mg: n-E-V-E-R.” So NOT the thing you want to hear when you have entrusted an assisted living facility with the semi-care of your MOTHER (think advocacy people).The staff tried everything to get Marion to turn over Ruth and NOTHING worked.Seriously..what could be so drat hard about rescuing an 82-year-old woman from the clutches of a big (4’5) and tough (huge resemblance to DOPEY from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) old lady? Feh.When all else fails..

“911..what is the emergency?”

Happy Daze Staff: We have an 85 yr old woman with dementia holding another Alzheimer’s patient hostage..demanding a car and good (looking) driver cialis 10 mg, $100 in unmarked—one dollar bills and..(pause) I can’t quite make this out..Oh..it says a box of cookies with a Venti Chai tea latte, sub soy, light on the water.How fast can you get here?

Here comes the fuzz..Sirens blaring, light flashing; cialis 10 mg.Lucky that the cop that headed up to the dementia floor was well trained to handle this kind of thing..
“Marion (knock knock) I know you’re in there.Open up Marion..it’s the police; cialis 10 mg.Marion did you know that kidnapping is an offense punishable by three years in state prison? Marion? Can you hear me?”

“She’s in the bathroom..she’ll be out in just a second.” Came the chirpy voice of my Ruth from inside.“ Cialis 10 mg: i can pass on that information if you want.Ummm let’s see; cialis 10 mg.Now cialis 10 mg, who did you say you are?”

“..and are you married officer?”

“..sure I’ll go check to see how she’s doing.”

“..I think she’s asleep in my bathtub.”

Ruth tells me that the officer came in and had to hold Marion while he escorted her away from the bedroom.You could hear Marion shouting all the way down the hall cialis 10 mg, “You’ll pay for this.I’ll bet you’re one of THEM; cialis 10 mg.Call the police.Blanche. Cialis 10 mg: selma.I’m being kidnapped.” It was really such a thrilling and exciting night – cialis 10 mg..not one of the twenty-four residents on ROAM wanted to miss it..so nobody moved.Except Ruth..who was ravenous after all that excitement.

My Sandwich Generation it is very important to have an up-to-date phone list taped right next to your seniors phone for any “situations” that might arise; cialis 10 mg.If something should come up..then they know just how to reach you (or your other siblings if feeling so inclined) without hunting through a phone book or trying to push the buttons on her cell..what E-V-E-R. Cialis 10 mg: if your elder family are unable to call..there are many devices that can be worn to connect them immediately to staff or medical personnel who are trained to support in a pinch.You can never cover yourself..well enough.

Use protection.

The lovely, talented, now 64-year-old Jaqueline Bisset (so wonderful in Truffaut’s “Day For Night” and “Bullitt” w/Steve McQueen, among others) is back on the big screen in “Death In Love”.  According to LA Times reviewer Gary Goldstein, it’s a “..startling yet powerful look at one damaged family”, and he says Ms; cialis contraindications.Bisset is “remarkable” in her portrayal of a rage-filled cialis contraindications, sadistic mother of two adult but emotionally stunted sons.

And director Boaz Yakin says he thinks that Jaqueline “…has gotten older, her experience and pain has sort of filled her up.”  Is that a great thing to hear out of a male director’s mouth, or what?  Would that more men would begin to realize that with age all of our experiences and pain and joy fill us older women up and make us even more attractive and interesting than we were in our youth.  Let’s hope that knowledge dawns on more directors, writers and producers, sooner than later.

Having been a Jaqueline Bisset fan for years, I’m so glad to see her working.  She recently finished a comedy, “The Last Film Festival”, and is planning to do another little independent film when they get the money (I and my fellow production co.ladies know that story all too well); cialis contraindications.So there is life after 64 for actresses after all!  At least for some of us.

Well I know where I’m off to this weekend…to see Ms.Bisset in “Death In Love”, offering my support on its opening weekend.  Can’t wait!

by Joyce Mason

Don’t let the title mislead you.I have sung my whole life—voice lessons starting at age three—so I know how to find a note and carry a tune …

…when I can hear it! One of my favorite chapters in Hot Flashbacks, Cool Insights—the book—is called “Huh?” It’s about when I discovered that my natural hearing batteries were running low. But cialis in us: so, I don’t excel in audio.But hearing aids?

Talk about a blow to the ego; but cialis in us.I am a baby boomer.I am a vain baby boomer, so if I had to do some old lady’s gig, I wanted total in-canal aids, the kind you can’t see unless you’re looking for them with a magnifying glass.

I also wax poetic in my book—no ear pun intended— about how one of my favorite characters, Gil Grissom on CSI, has a hearing problem far worse than mine; but cialis in us.It could threaten his career, although I doubt that’s why his character will leave the show this season – but cialis in us.And I reveal one of my nuttier pastimes but cialis in us, signing the words to “Who Are You” by The Who at the beginning of each show.That’s signing as in sign language but cialis in us, although I sing the song at the same time, too.Sign language is something I learned years ago, before I ever learned I might need it someday.

One of the drawbacks to my jazzy little Phonak hearing aids is that they are omni-directional.Freely translated, when I hear a sound, I’m not sure which direction it’s coming from.This could be dangerous but cialis in us, if not fatal.Imagine a car or train with a loud horn blaring at me but cialis in us, and I think it is aiming at me from the left, and I jump right—into its path!

This is one reason why I’m letting my Audriologist—my audiologist named Audrey—talk me into a different kind of hearing aids next time around. But cialis in us: she claims they’re still discreet.I claim you can see them short of a safari into my ear canals, which makes them distasteful. But cialis in us: but I realize I won’t care what I look like if I’m (gulp) dead!

One of the other drawbacks to being omni-directional, besides not being sure where a sound is coming from–when a cell phone rings, I’m not sure whose it is.If you’re a cheapskate, like me, who balked at popping for a ring tone and paying extra, you’re stuck with the standard issue.Most people “mobilize” with only a few main carriers, so the chances are, your ring tone is on a lot of other people’s cell phones; but cialis in us.I not only can’t tell where it’s coming from; I can’t tell if it’s mine – but cialis in us.Joe Blow and Jane Doe, both standing within five feet of me, might have the same tone.

There’s one more issue; but cialis in us.Am I the only person so annoyed by Brenda Leigh Johnson’s ringtone on The Closer that I’d like to throw her phone against the wall? There is distinctive; then there is downright irritating.All the tones loaded into my newest cell phone are so obnoxious; it’s a clear conspiracy by my cell phone company to make more money selling sounds.Sounds a human being can actually stand.

True confessions: I have always wanted “Who Are You” as my ringtone.Not only am I an avid fan of all the CSI’s and their theme songs by The Who but cialis in us, but what could be cuter or more ironic? It rings and sings—“Who are you?” Purchasing ring tones is something I have always feared, especially with those crazy companies that have fine print, forcing you to sell your firstborn and all your grandchildren if you don’t pay a zillion dollars a month for the privilege of playing with cell phone music.They seem like scary swindlers and way too expensive.

Clearly but cialis in us, life was a lot simpler and cheaper when we had single-color, black rotary dial phones, when private lines were a newfangled luxury, and when our phone “numbers” were a misnomer, because they had both numbers and letters.( But cialis in us: garden 5-5194.Do you remember yours?)

Back from my nostalgia trip to today’s more complex communications: Late at night but cialis in us, I often can’t wind down, and that’s when I make my worst online purchasing mistakes—or get it right by accident—both of which happened with my new ringtones.I felt more comfortable buying them from Verizon, my carrier. But cialis in us: after all, we already have a personal relationship, and if they pull a fast one, I can take my business elsewhere.After my new two-year contract expires.

On previous searches but cialis in us, I’d never been able to find a major company that carried “Who Are You,” only those in the scary-expensive category.To my delight but cialis in us, Verizon now has it! I like to do a different tone for calls from home and my husband’s cell, calls that come only from him.(The cats haven’t mastered calling.Hard to do without opposable thumbs.) For Tim, I chose “My Guy” by Mary Wells, a boomer classic I adore, one we often play on the jukebox at Mel’s.

Now for the mistake.I noticed there were two categories, ringtones and ringback tones – but cialis in us.I wasn’t sure what ringback tones were, I was tired, and I bought one—another boomer fave, “You’ve Got a Friend.” This version is sung by Carole King.

I found out it’s “on hold” music while your phone connects.So, my friends will know they’ve got me, even if they don’t have me on the line – but cialis in us.“Ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend?” Be patient.She’s coming!

This trio only cost me a one-time fee of $3 for each ringtone and $2 for the ringback tone; but cialis in us.Of course but cialis in us, there’s a $1/month access fee for ringtones, so figure with the $12 annual charge, it’s $20.And another $12 next year, the year after, etc; but cialis in us.They were my birthday present to myself for the joy I’ll get hearing those tunes each time the phone rings—and knowing it can only be my phone.
The new hearing aids cost $5,000.I think I got an incredible bargain by comparison.

Still, my new ringtones don’t tell me which direction the train is coming from

; but cialis in us

We didn’t have drive-thru fast food restaurants in the early sixties.  What we did have were drive-in movies and drive-up diners.

One of the main differences in these two establishments is that we were allowed to go to the diner, but never the drive-in!  Rumors had it, and most were probably true, that the attendees spent a good deal of time necking, and my parent’s daughters were not to go near this den of sin.  Mother took it to a bit of extreme, because when we would drive by the theater, we were told to look to the other side.  We were not even allowd to glance at the screen during a drive by!  Pretty hilarious, when I think about it.  When a parent puts that many restrictions on a place, it makes it all the more appealing to adventurous and curious daughters, like the Payne girls.

There was a drive-up diner directly across the street from the drive-in theater.  Malcolms was one of our favorite places to eat.  We often stopped there after church on Sunday night to get a Full House, which was hot tamales and chili, or the best hot dogs in the universe.  Malcolms had car hops that would come to the car to take your order; later returning to bring a tray full of tissue wrapped food.   Daddy would roll down the window about three-fourths of the way, so that the car hop could attach the tray to it.    The only thing I had my mind on was sinking my teeth into the hot dog that Daddy passed to the back seat, where Suz, Nene, and I were sitting.  Suzanne had other things on her young, nine-year old mind.  She spread her napkins in the rear window of the car.  She sat on her knees to eat her food out of the car window…while she watched the drive-in movie screen across the street.  Mother and Daddy never suspected a thing, and never said a word about it.  It didn’t occur to either Nene or me what she was doing, or I’m certain that one of us would have called attention to it.  We lived to get each other into trouble.

I didn’t get off quite so easily.  One of my dates convinced me that it wouldn’t be bad if  he took me to the drive-in movie instead of the walk-in.  I really liked this guy, so I agreed.  Though we didn’t “neck”, he did kiss me.  He did NOT know how to kiss.  He would latch on to my lips with his teeth!  He just about sucked my lips down his windpipe that night.  Nothing was noticeable until the next morning.  I got up to get ready for church.  I couldn’t believe what was glaring back at me from the mirror!  My entire mouth was encircled with a huge red ring.  My lips were so swollen, you could have wet them and stuck me to a window.  I was left shaking in my boots, because I couldn’t think of a good enought story to explain it away.

Judgement was imminent.  There was nothing to do but to go straight to mother and pray that she would pave the way before Daddy saw me.  I came clean with her, mostly.  I did admit to the horrible “kiss” that the guy had given me, but I didn’t tell her I got it at the drive-in, but I will say I never went to the drive-in again, without their knowledge.  I went out with the guy a couple of more times, but didn’t allow him to put the jaws of life on me again.

I learned from this experience that:
