'Remember when' or 'these kids today' nostalgia thread for old fogies like me

[Mace Gill]

Ever run into those 'nostalgic' posts, photos, and memes on the social media?

I do ... I was born WAY WAY back in the 'before' time of the early 1970's and I cringe a little when people my age post nostalgic stuff about how 'hard' it was

Then ... I started running into nostalgic posts about the 1990s and 2000s ... what????

I must be getting old!

Starting this VERY tongue-in-cheek thread for 'nostalgia' ... but I'll be going a little bit farther back than my on 'time'

Starting with Tom Mix! Brad Pitt who??? If you remember watching Tom Mix at the flicker show, your childhood rocked!

"What the heck *IS* an ice box?"

Duh ... it's a box with ice in it!

Like when the radio station starts talking about reaching way way back for a hit from yesterday and you remember when the song came out..... and had it on a record?

In those days we all pitched in! Even our flocks!

Exactly! And we all get 'weepy eyed' over it
