I'm so old I Remember when:

[The Moonshiner]

I wish mine had left twenty years earlier than he did. Everyone would have been a lot happier ... and my sibs and I would have been a lot safer.

That sucks. Wish things had been different for you all.

For us growing up, the family room was where the tv was. The living room was for visitors. Now, my parents have a tv in both rooms and we hang out wherever we want

Mine also had a davenport, if anyone has ever heard of one!

I remember when gas was less than 17¢ a gallon...

And you:

.98

Some people can't read their own cursive writing.

Who told you that I can’t read my own cursive writing

Mine was the Ethiopians. My dad telling me when he was in the Korean war that somehow they were helped or something by the Ethiopian s, saying they were good to him. I don't know if that's true he didn't say much about that war except it was extremely cold at times

My dad was a Marine in the Korean War

That's what my grandma called the couch.

I am so old I remember when we only had one TV channel. And a black and white TV

FYI I still have my old colour TV for my bedroom as a teen. It’s a boat anchor but it still works! Not that there are any channels to watch now, signals are all digital these days!

I still have 4 of those boat anchor tv’s that still work IF you have a vcr or cd player or have cable which I do not have any of those anymore
so now they are great dust collectors

You can get a digital to analog converter for over the air local channels for reminiscing. I have one they work pretty good

I live in an apartment and when it first switched over and we got those coupons to get those antennas
The picture froze up more than you could watch anything on the tv and I stopped even trying
It was not worth it anymore

I rented tv shows from the library and watch on a dvd player till it broke in 2021

I have Wi-Fi now and Pluto and Tubi on my cell phones that I watch now

No one wants quality anymore, they want cheap and throwaway

Not true! Would LOVE to have quality and things that last. Manufacturers just don't make stuff like that. Take my $2,000 refrigerator for example. Take it! PLEASE! I have probably spent more than that in repairs.

Thanks. Me, too! But ... it is what it is and he's answering to a higher power, now. The rest of us lick our wounds, bare our scars (and yes, I spelled that correctly, much to the horror of "proper" family members) and move on. We're okay ... and I have chickens!
