Acid flashback..............I remember when parents could give there kids a hiding for doing the wrong thing, It was called discipline and most children quickly learnt to respected there elders and other people.

Actually I remember when i was a boy a doctor telling me I would be in a wheelchair by the time I'm 30 .(Spinal Bifidi in two vertebrae). I'm 38 as of last week and I'm still standing. Well, not today though. Had to dope up on Diazapam and brufen. I bent over this morning and picked up one of my kids toys and that stuffed my day. But I'm still standing....

I remember sometimes mum would have to take me to the Dr for some illness or whatever, and the Doctor would be having a cigarette and have an ash tray full of butts while talking to you.
