Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / December 2004O.T. Nostalgia
I know very well that the good old days had some seriously bad things like racial segregation, dirty politics in smoke filled rooms, McCarthyism, and many other nasties, but in spite of knowing all that, I couldn't help but be charmed by this web page: http://www.thestatenislandboys.com/U_thrill_me/ Alan Alan, That was good, I'll share it with some of my peers.

I don't recall the difference, but there was a vessel similar to the chalice that we were allowed to 'touch' during the Mass. But, I don't recall the name of it. Of course we were allowed to carry and use the patent and cruets, which, when you think about it, aren't much different considering their purpose. And, I can remember moving the chalice around before or after mass, but not on the altar during mass. It's hard to believe that at one time in my life, I would server 6:00 a.m. Mass, sing the the choir at the 9 a.m. Mass, then set up, usher at and take down the 10:30 a.m. guitar Mass in the gym.

I had forgotten about those. As I think about it I seem to remember being quite happy back then. Very naive and sheltered, but happy. Wonder where that feeling went? One Mass a day was enough for me. Sounds like you were an overachiever Steve. Did you ever give serious thought to becoming a priest? In eighth grade I had the pen in my hand but just could not sign the paper. Wonder what would have happened if I had??? Just another can't look back like RRP. Make the decision and move ahead. Happy Holidays! David S. >I don't think it was the chalice.

But, then came high school. First, I found religious education in high school meant questioning your religion, which is something from which I have yet to recover. Second, girls. Third, Marine Aviator took over as Number 1 on my list of things to be when I grow up. Then, came adulthood. I was accepted at Annapolis, but Marines were out (too tall, they said). Then Air Force Academy, but they said I couldn't fly (colorblind). So, priesthood was back to being an option. But, then there was that 5'3", 117 pound girl with 36-24-36 measurements and brown hair almost to her waist.... Let's just say the priesthood lost out.

Rgr how many remember the original flavor of the creme filling of the twinkie? ......banana..........and they were gooooooodd..... or how about the original 6 oz. bottle coke that cost a whole nickel, that when you took a drink, the fizz might go up into the back of your nose and give you that burning feeling. ~ curtis knowledge is power - growing old is mandatory - growing wise is optional "Many more men die with prostate cancer than of it.
