“Today Barbara and I went down the street. We saw Charlie. Barry was in Thrifty’s Barbara started to walk out but I stayed. We went over to the counter. Barry was watching us. Barry walked by and he goosed me. Then he said, ‘Well, well, the Bobsee Twins.’ We both had our coats on. We saw Ralph today. He drove by us and he looked at us and he rolled down his window. Ian took us for a ride today. Ian told me that he had V.D four years ago. At night Barbara and I went to the show. Charlie was the only one there. He looked at us when he walked by.”

Miss Norma’s Diary – February 9, 1962 – “I got real jazzed the way Barry kissed that girl”

Friday

“Today I went to school. After school Barbara and I went down the street. We both thought that we saw Ralph driving by in another car. At night Barbara and I went to the show. Barry was the only one there. He didn’t pay any attention to us. This girl sat by him and he hissed her on the cheek. But he was only teasing. He came up to me once and said something but I can’t think what it was. Mr. W. Told Mommy and Paul is going to ask me to go to the show Sat nite. Ian told me that Lonnie asked Marie if I wore falcies. She said no But Lonnie still couldn’t believe it. I got real jazzed the way Barry kissed that girl. Real tender and soft. I wish Barry wasn’t so bad. I would probably go out with him then.”

How To Live Long – Part 7

#49. “As argument in the presence of third persons quickly degenerates into the ignoble ambition of victory, rather than conviction or instruction, and is unprofitable, so is reproof, except when the two are alone; else the admonition is received with impatience, indignation, or revenge”
#50. “To remind of a favor is not kind; to speak f it offensively, more than cancels the obligation.”
#51. “To leave the best for other is generous, to select the best for one’s self is the meanest of all traits”
#52. The “gentleman” is magnanimous, the “lady” is serene.”

#53. “The portion of the body which most requires protection against cold and wind, is that between the shoulder-blades behind, as it is at this point the lungs are attached to the body, an the blood is easily chilled”
#54. “To spend two or three moments, on rising and retiring, in rapid friction of the whole surface of the body with the hand, is a more rational treatment of the skin, and a more health promoting operation, for most persons, than a daily cold water bath”
#55. “The wisest men are those who aim to live in such a way as to grow old without aches or pains”
#56. “No rational mind can fail to see that it is a wisdom and a duty to guard against the causes, and watch vigilantly against the indications of such diseases as dyspepsia, which often so influences the mind as to subvert the whole character, making a wreck of happiness, heart, and life together”
