Your post of women on valium reminded me of the forties. All the Good Christian women of the day would scream about liquor and beer and its sin. Then drink a bottle of "Hadacol" health tonic because it made them feel much better. No wonder!!! It's main ingredient was alchohol. Wonder if any more on this thread remember Sen. LeBlanc from Louisiana who got rich promoting his health tonic thru drug stores while whiskey was illegal.

Christine, It's a very tough call, and I really wonder how I'm going to feel about it when my kids start getting close to the teens. I always said, when walking the outer edge of the wild side, that everyone has the right to an adventure. If you survive the adventure, it adds something to your life. If you don't, you don't. Some people can choose to pass on the opportunity. They stay safe, but they miss something. An impossible theory to evaluate, obviously, since none of us can know what we might have been if we took a different route. I don't regret any of it. How will I feel about this when my kids start looking for adventures? Will I follow my own advice: train them as well as I can while I have them, and trust my own training when the time comes for them to go. Will I know when they're ready? Will I try to hold them back, or to come along and watch over them? Will I try to choose a nice, tame, controllable adventure? Or will I just let 'em go? Scares me to think what I must have put my parents through. They didn't know half of it, thank God. Steve
