I have 5 children, two are in their fifties, one will turn 50 this year, and two are in their forties. So, I call 40 and 50 year olds "kids" and don't mean anything disrespectful about it.

I remember having a Straight Arrow ring, actually a couple of them. Wish I could find them now.

My husband has recently fell in love with the old time radio programs. I ordered him several MP3 Cd's of Gunsmoke (with William Conrad as Matt Dillon, the best voice ever! also the sound effects are incredible!), Frontier Gentleman, Hopalong Cassidy, Sky King, The Shadow, Dragnet, Fort Laramie, The Great Gildersleeve (love that one), Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, Suspense, The Six Shooter, and Our Miss Brooks (love that one too).
