Syzygis I remember when we had to cook things on a stove! None of them newfangled microwave ovens! People actually took the time (punctuates with a slam of the cane) to eat right! (another slam of the cane) Yeah, and not just cook things on the stove, but even *GASP* REHEAT them on the stove. That's right. It was either turn on the stove or oven or else eat the leftovers COLD... wow... none of this pop it in the mic for ten seconds stuff. You had to actually bother to take time and do something right... eating and running used to be rude...

I remember when we had to stay in one place to talk on the phone! None of this cell phone business with people gabbing about anywhere. You went to one place in the house and you sat there if you wanted to talk on the phone!

Or when computer games had to be typed in by hand from a magazine before you could play them (if there were no typos in the magazine stressed ), and voice recognition was knowing whose Mamma was shouting for you to come in for dinner.

My daughter told me today that the cookie monster was changed to the carrot monster, because of it attributing to child obesity or some such thing. Tell me this isn't true.
*wanders off to search for cookie monster.

^_^; If I had ever done anything so foolish as trying to eat a whole bag of cookies like the cookie monster, my dad would have brought out the leather belt. o_o; The one with the metal buckle. o_O And yet even parents dug cookie monster. blaugh

My father never laid a hand on me, my mother either. But they got pretty stern sometimes and I'm kind of a push-over. Never hit my sister, neither.
But we STILL wouldn't have eaten a whole bag of cookies, not after The Gluttony Lesson.
What happened to disciplining kids without smacking 'em down?

I was talking about eating your spinach to be strong like Popeye & my kids are like "Who is Popeye?". Man I feel old. rolleyes

You know, in MY day, we wouldn't have been allowed to throw roast beef over someone's new car in a snowstorm so it froze to their windshield, but it was sure funny when they did that to the guy who always takes up two parking spaces in my appartment complex.
It should be noted that I did not do this, I was just there when he called the cops and I heard him talking outside in the parking lot and I almost crapped my pants trying not to laugh. He wasn't a popular man and he probably didn't deserve that, but he was a jerk with his damn car.

When I was young, we had to get the ox hooked up to the ox cart to get water or to go into town to find someone who could telegram a friend if we needed to chat long distance. We would get letters more offten then not about once per month. Our bathroom was an out house with 5 holes in the boards and it was nothing for me tobe pooping in a hole the same time my sisters were pooping also. I had a crystal set I made from scratch, got the plans from a 1936 Mechanix Illustrated mag. It didn't always work. I think the signals were not that strong then. We had a team of 10 horses too. Gramps used them to mow hay and bail and pull the combine.

Lil Brat Remember party lines? Not this lets see how many friends we can chat to at the same time the kids whine about today... what'dya mean you can only connect 3 of us? No, the real party lines... like my grandma had... nothin like pickin up the phone to make a call and hearin the latest gossip from the neighbor ladies... Ya, hun, that's real interestin bout Mister Whosit and his lady friend, but I gots an emergency here... ya mind lettin the line go sos I can call for help... I see, that's right neighborly of ya to come take us to the hospital... we be seein ya in a minute... no, I dun mind if you're in your housecoat, we gotsa see the doctor now... rofl I remember being a kid and having my parents teach us which ring sound was ours... If we picked up on the wrong ring we would end up on someone else's call. I remember being in high school and they brought the school their first computers... WOW... there were like 4 of them and we could choose to take a class after school if we wanted to learn programing (that would be writing out a program in DOS to tell the computer how to do simple adding or subtracting). I was riding with my son (he is 20 with a new car) into town a couple days ago and I brought up how it is hard to emagine life without everyone in the family and our friends not having cell phones...

When I see those razor phone commercials on TV I cannot help remembering how impressive it was when that phone's ancestor was the newest thing!
AND it was called a "Mobile Phone"....
AND it was so expensive....
AND it was bigger than a brick!
Shoot, I remember when phones were wired directly into the wall, then the man from the phone company came over one Sautrday and installed jacks that take a phone with a plug... and the first plugs were bigger than an electrical 3 prong plug... and you rented your phones from the phone company so of course they were made very well... you could not go to Fry's and buy a phone on sale for 8 dollars rofl
