marsye your Avatar is cracking me up. it looks like the lady that lived next door when I was a kid that always had a cigarette hanging out of her mouth!

hmmmm....

I remember being able to ride a bike all over the place without worrying (the thought never entered your mind) about being snatched by a wierdo..

I remember living in a time when kids did not sass anybody or mouth off or argue with anybody passing by

I remember when if you didn't have the money to buy something you didn't buy it

I remember when you had two skirts, three blouses and two dresses to wear to school... and your boobs and/or belly and butt cleavage didn't hang out

I remember when EVERYBODY had to go out and play at recess and EVERYBODY had to take PE and the girls took home ec and you actually HAD TO learn stuff in order to be passed from one grade to the next - none of this "you did your best - lets not hurt your poor little feelings" crap .. Probably why we have so many killings now - people get out in the world and guess what? the world doesn't revolve around them and guess what else? the world doesn't give a sh** about your tender feelings....

geez I could go on forever...

Up to her very old age my grandmother went to church wearing the lace veil to cover her head. She made me wear a small red round one but she wore a long black one that came down the sides. I looked forward to grow up and wear the long one myself and then they stopped wearing them.

You all don't have drive-in movies anymore?? We have one. $2 a person double feature every weekend all summer. Everyone takes the kids in their jammies so they'll be ready for bed when you get home.

We still have one in Rhode Island.

Remember party lines?

Remember listening to THE SHADOW KNOWS on the radio on Sunday nights?

Did we go to school together? I also remember that no one sat down at a meal before my dad and you better not touch anything before grace was said. Also, you never wore white shoes before Memorial day or after Labor Day.
