We are as far today as from the 80s, as the 80s were from the 40s.
I mean I can do some math stuff, but thinking about it like that....whoah!

You know your getting old when the kids start using, in the late 1900s, on school papers.
I take offense to that.

Want to have fun? Ask a kid to use a rotary phone; if you can find one, use 8-track; tell them to change the channel on the tv without a remote. Show them an encyclopedia. My own daughter asked me one day how anyone survived in the “olden” days and I was born in the 70’s. That doesn’t seem to Olden to me but I guess it is.
It is in my mind. Maybe that’s my problem
Think about that. You had phones, radios, televisions, cars, etc in the 40s and the 80s. Improvements but same basic technologies.
Then Al Gore invented the internet and the 80s to today is like the 1880s to the 1980s
Tell them when they call, don't call collect. They will look at you like you have a third eye.
Try explaining a party line or that t.v stations went off the air in the early morning.
Just this past weekend, we were telling our 19yr-old daughter about Saturday morning cartoons. That was fun. 😄😄
Right before I jumped on here I looked up “and the Agony of Defeat” guy. Don’t know what made me think of it. Olympics I suppose.
Wide World of Sports! Remember that?

We had push button phones in the late 60's. I remember hearing that the # button would be used in the future for "something".
Us people who graduated in 1990 are the equivalent today of people who graduated in 1959 when we graduated. Geez......
It is a wonder any of us survived at all. I mean, we didn't even wear helmets when we rode our bikes all over Anderson. And none of us had cell phones for emergencies! Yet, somehow, a few of us managed to survive.
OK, no more posts for you tonight! Get out of here with that crap.
That’s what I’m saying. Basic math is mind bending.
Time flies whether you're having fun or not.
