M E M P H A S I S - Aims and Objectives

The Emancipation of people with direct experience of mental ill-health is the main objective of M E M P H A S I S. We seek to remove mis-directed and mis-construed negativity as factors in the lives of our people and bring an end to the discrimination which is widely experienced by us in this society. A rolling surge of concerted action by all interested parties will make these objectives achievable and liberate the oppressed from our night-mare of mis-representation by this society. Your continued support is greatly needed and appreciated!

Hope you are well at the moment? What do you think of the following which was just sent to me?:

THOSE BORN 1920-1979

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!

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

They took aspirin, 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 child proof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks 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 Kool-aid 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 OK.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ridedown 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 games at all,no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chatrooms.......

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, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not poke 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 .

While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were.

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

Sorry I have had to delete that last blog because the very large text was making the page run really slow. I think you will have to stick to smaller text and pictures. I am sure a lot of people appreciate your photos as I do Rodney and your videos as well.

I have had to delete a discussion response of yours which was aggressive and negative. We have a good atmosphere and friendly relationships on Creative Cafe and this is not the place to pick rows.

This is part of a message I recieved from Jill who is concerned about how to help you.

"I cannot reply to his message to me because he has taken me off his friends list and messages can only be sent to friends.

He seems to think I could 'relink' his page but I have no idea what this means?! As far as I am concerned he just has to sign in again using his original email address and password.

Sorry to bother you Diane but I don't know how else to get in touch with Rodney.

Hope all goes well with you at the moment? I have got a bad cold/cough so am not very happy!

Bye for now
Jill ...................................."

Hope you get this.

I cannot reply to your latest message because you have taken me off your friends list and I can only send messages to friends.

I have no idea what relinking your page entails at all.
Please get Ning to send me instructions if that is what you want.

Bye for Now
Jill
