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

[N F C]

I used to do my homework in front of the tv..... I remember my mother told my teacher about it and she raised it with me. I was mortified.

LOL, busted!

Sort of. She wasn't bothered about it, but I was horrified my mother was blabbing about me.

Wasn't that what mom's did, embarrass their children? Now they're too busy being their "friend".

What was your favorite TV sitcom growing up?

We watched wild kingdom on Sundays as a family. Always watched little house on the prairie with my grandma.
My favorite was the dukes of hazzard

(my smarta*$ phone kept wanting to change sitcom to 'sit on', even it doesn't know what a sitcom is!! lol)

TV? When I was a kid the only thing we could sit down and watch was the gladiator fights.

I have several of those feeders with plastic handles, most have broken and been replaced with a small piece of metal chain. Cut open the end links and insert thru the existing tabs. Now i expect the plastic tabs will break next.

Yup, that's why I bought 6 waterers when I found them with the metal handles. 3 in use, 3 in reserve in case one dies. Thick plastic too, will take a while to get any damage.

I swear they sit and plan how to make stuff that falls apart so you will have to buy more!
