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

Inconceivable!

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means!

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

THAT'S the spirit BantyChooks!

Of course, if there were no fights scheduled at the coliseum, we'd go to the forum and watch a stand-up philosopher.

That was fun too. You had to be careful not to fall out of the trees, though, or you'd end up as a wolf snack. Poor Jimmy down by the creek fell down.... His screams were a mite disturbing.

Bah ... you gotta learn to get the GOOD branch ... to stout one at the crook of the tree, don't break, kinda comfy.

I am a kid myself but for some strange reason I was always disgusted by my generation. I love the old music where they used to put their heart and soul into each word. Everyone worked hard! Children had to make do with what they had and still had fun with it! Cars were all unique and special in their own way, made by real people rather than being mass produced by machinery! But now... Figget spinners, dabbing, pokemon go, also, would it really kill you to spell out a whole word? Seriously, I am dissapointed. I have also found that many recent tv shows are mindless and stupid, and in return everyone around me is mindless and lazy. I can rant on even more but probably shouldn't. My mother has always told me I was a 40 year old in a child's body even when I was a toddler, and I am thankful that that is the way I am!

I agree with you one hundred percent! The days I wish were still around... Seeing the shows like "Andy Griffith"... Where you can walk around the street and not worry as much.

I pray to be able to walk into town. But it is too dangerous the world has gone mad.

When you fell in love and is was great, it wasn't like a shopping cart... One person to the other... It looked special. Not just like a rag, if you know what I mean.

And it is sad. When a person looks at me. They think: "Oh, she's going to act like one of those millennial's." Well, I am sorry if you believe that... But I am not one of them.

It isn't a fun feeling for everyone to "jump to conclusions" since you are a kid that you aren't mature. Just my beliefs.

God bless!

I remember WAY back when ... all the way back to last Saturday when this thread was only one lonely post. 16+ pages? World is moving too darn fast.

Exactly ... or that old folks are crusty old curmudgeons (okay, that one is true for me) ... or that their age grants them some special wisdom (trust me, that one AIN'T true for me!)

So how about your favorite song from when you were a kid? I LOVED Barracuda by Heart

Oh wow! I remember the spring of 1250 when 'Sumer is Icumen In' hit the charts! We were ALL singing it!
