Don’t forget to add the part about having to walk to and from school barefoot in the snow up hill both ways!!!

Your parents probably lamented that the kids of the 30-70’s didn’t have to plow fields, milk cows and chop wood before and after school. The probably complained radio was good enough for them who needed three TV channels to watch and in color what would be come of those kids.

I expect great things of the kids now days! Or else they will have to go back to chopping wood and milking cows!!!

Oh we walked to the bus stop about a mile each way for years.

Where a trip to McDonalds was as rare as a $0.50 cents per gallon gas is now and was real treat.

Where the family all had dinner together at the same time.

Where the rotary phone was king and there was phone booth on every block.

When you could eat bacon and eggs every morning because Mom got up early and made you breakfast.

Where you could get into a fight in school over kids things and not worry about being sent to prison or having your parents sued into bankruptcy.

Where toys were made of metal and held up to abuse for years.

When Star Wars was the coolest thing ever and ever kid on the block wanted to be luke skywalker flying his x-wing fighter.

A time when we all went to church and sunday school without fear of harm and or offending the politically correct.

A time when it was ok to tell someone that they were a jack *** and say f*** off without loosing our jobs over sexual harrasment.

Where the finger was king and anger managment was even a concept.

Where men settled problems not with lawyers, but with a good old fist fight.

A time when you could leave your house unlocked all day and night.

Where seeing in gun haning in a gun rack in the back window of a pick up truck didn't cause two thousand calls to 911.

When you could ride your dirt bike up the road and no one cared or called the cops.

When kids that were hyper got smacked and told to calm down, and they always did. The poor mans ridillin.

When a large pizza was truly a LARGE pizza and not delivered by some pimply faced drug addict from domino's.
