Are you old??? DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN...?
All the girls had ugly gym uniforms?
It took five minutes for the TV warm up?
Nearly everyone's Mom was at home when the guys got home from school?
Nobody owned a purebred dog?
When a quarter was a decent allowance?
You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny?
Your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces?
All your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had
their hair done every day and wore high heels?
You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped,
without asking, all for free, every time?
And you didn't pay for air? And, you got trading stamps to boot?
Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box?
It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner
at a real restaurant with your parents?
They threatened to keep guys back a grade if they failed. . and they did?
When a 57 Chevy was everyone's dream car...to cruise,
peel out, lay rubber or watch submarine races, and people went steady?
No one ever asked where the car keys were
because they were always in the car,
in the ignition, and the doors were never locked?
Lying on your back in the grass with your friends
and saying things like, "That cloud looks like a "
and playing baseball with no adults to help guys with the rules of the game?
Stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals
because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger?
And with all our progress, don't you just wish, just once,
you could slip back in time and savor the slower pace,
and share it with the guyren of today?
When being sent to the principal's office was nothing
compared to the fate that awaited the student at home?
Basically we were in fear for our lives,
but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc.
Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat!
But we survived because their love was greater than the threat.
who can still remember
Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, Laurel and Hardy,
Howdy Dowdy and the Peanut Gallery,
the Lone Ranger, The Shadow Knows,
Nellie Bell, Roy and Dale, Trigger and Buttermilk.
As well as summers filled with bike rides, baseball games,
Hula Hoops, bowling and visits to the pool,
and eating Kool-Aid powder with sugar.
Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say, "Yeah, I remember that"?
To remember what a double dog dare is, read on.
And remember that the perfect age is somewhere between
old enough to know better and too young to care.
How many of these do you remember?

Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles

Do you remember a time when...
Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe"?
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "Do Over!"?
"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest?
Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening?
It wasn't odd to have two or three "Best Friends"?
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was "cooties"?
Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot?
A foot of snow was a dream come true?
Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute commercials for action figures?
"Oly-oly-oxen-free" made perfect sense?
Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for giggles?
The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team?
War was a card game?
Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle?
Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin?
Water balloons were the ultimate weapon?
If you can remember most or all of these, then you have lived!!!!!!! | Oh yes ,you took me "back in the day"
Loved it!
If only we could go back. | Do you remember when? DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN....?

I double-dog-dare-ya!
| | Thank you my friend for sharing those wonderful memories you belong like me in what I call THE LUCKY GENERATION I often tell my guys(not little anymore) that in those days we had real pleasure doing all the things you mention & more like chasing butterfly's & polishing my school shoes for going out they were the only pair I had and a pair of runners and one pair of denim overalls...and you know what I was a happy guy and grew up to be a happy grown up to say that my nick name is BUBBLES...I hate how fast all that changed and wish that we could turn back the time I raised my guys simple not because I couldn't afford thing but because I wanted them to appreciate things in life to have respect & to be happy with simple things...and I must say I did a bloody good job they all turn out fine caring loving simple adults hard working & very giving with others who need.You know when I got married I some of the presents I received were tea towels & others like 2 pillows cases...now newly weds expect to have a plasma as a gift in every room...by the way every year for Halloween I accompany the guyren of my street when they go Trick or treat as I don't like them going along & I love seeing them enjoy something so simple...Happy halloween to all!!!! | My husband and our dates? Ok. I tried to find any questions related to my problem with no luck.
I am married to a great guy, simple, serious, responsible, hard worker, even sometimes geeky. Sex with him is great in every way. We have been married for almost 2 years now. We have no guys yet, not until he finishes school, and I think it is best like that. At the time we got married we only discussed financial plans for the future. We were sure we were meant for each other. We have been through a lot in terms of settling and creating a home. I introduced him to the world of movies. We can watch and talk about movies of all kinds. He loves my food and sometimes he cooks himself. He is not messy in the house. The problem? He wont dance with me AT ALL. He will not go out with me at all, not even to a bar, the park, to buy groceries, to a fair, to the mall, bowling, no sports in general, to church, to a theater play, to an art gallery, to a concert, a museum, NOTHING. He wont even hang out with me and other people eager to be with us as a couple. To be fair, we have done some of the things stated here at least once, because I pushed him reeeeaaally bad. But after the first time, that s it. I was adapting and learning to live like this, detached, because in general I can be on my own. But we started our marriage in a new town where none of us knew any people. Did I mention he is completely antisocial? He only hangs out with his brother who came to live to the same town, but to be honest the brother comes to our house every free time he has and they root themselves to play video games for hours. The brother is kind, works and goes to school, has good manners and I would never shush him out, especially because the brother has also no friends here and it wouldn't be any different if he weren't around. In my case, it is really hard for me to find other people to go out with. I think its even backfiring because even though my husband lets me go out and do whatever I want, in the times I get annoyed because he wont do anything with me, he says things like: ¨But I did wanted to go out with you tonight, and you were doing X, so it s your fault¨... I said ¨Do you want to go out with me, yes, or no?¨ he said, ¨not like this...¨ Well, I am like this precisely because he wont go out with me! I don't understand. I told him I wont fight anymore and just never expect to go out with him because I am so sick of always having to beg for us to go out together and he now is mad at me. I'm I being paranoid? Is this how all marriages are like? We dated for about 6 months before marrying and it didn't really appeared as a problem back them, because I knew a lot of people and had all my family at the other town we lived. This is my first marriage and I want it to be the only one. MY HUSBAND IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.
HELP!! | | I think you should limit his brother visits to twice a week, and tell your husband that it's time to get over himself and try to please you in that area. Now that being said, we (my wife & I) don't go out much because we'd rather be at home with each other. I said that to get you to see that staying home doesn't have to be a bad thing but you can make it into anything you want to. Think about it. You married him to be with him and now that you're with him, you want to be with him where you want instead of where he wants. Sounds like you two get along fine except for that, so make good use of that time and love each other all the time. Thats a very good reason to limit the brother-in-laws visits, lol. |
