Let's talk.

I'm so confuused!

 

You’re not the only one

 

It seemed like the end had it not have been for the new India variant. We would have walked blindly in to it if it was later.

OLDER THAN DIRT!

Someone asked the other day,,,,,,,,,,,,,

'What was your favourite fast food when you were growing up ?'
'We didn't have fast food when I was growing up ,'

I informed him, ' All the food was slow .'
'C'mon, seriously. Where did you eat?'
'It was a place called 'home,' I explained!

'Mum cooked every day when Dad got home from work,

we sat down together at the dining room table, & if I didn't like what she put on my plate, I was allowed to sit there until I did like it .'
By this time, the kid was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to suffer serious internal damage, so I didn't tell him the part about how I had to have permission to leave the table.

Here are some other things I would have told him about my childhood if I figured his system could have handled it:

Some parents NEVER owned their own house, wore Levis, set foot on a golf course, travelled out of the country or had a credit card, most didn't even have a bank account card.

My parents never drove me to school. I walked or caught the bus, I eventually had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds .

We didn't have a television in our house until I was 10, It was, of course, black and white with just one channel and the station went off the air at 10:00 p.m. after playing the national anthem and a poem about God. It came back on the air at about 9 a.m. there was usually a locally produced news show.

I never had a telephone in my house, let alone my room. The only phone was in a kiosk a some distance away. A few houses had a party line, before you could dial, you had to listen and make sure some people you didn't know weren't already using the line.

Pizzas were not delivered to our home... But milk was .

All newspapers were delivered by boys or girls, my brother delivered newspapers seven days a week. He had to get up at 5 a.m. every morning .

There were no movie ratings because all movies were responsibly produced for everyone to enjoy viewing, without profanity or violence or most anything offensive .

If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren. Just don't blame me if they bust their gut laughing.

Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it ?

MEMORIES :

My Dad is cleaning out our house and he brought me an old bottle, in the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to 'sprinkle' clothes with because we didn't have steam irons. Man, I am old .

How many do you remember ?

Head lights dimmer switches on the floor .
Ignition switches on the dashboard, Trouser clips for bicycles without chain guards .
Soldering irons you heat on a gas burner .
Using hand signals for cars without turn signals. I passed my driving test using hand signals.
