[QUOTE="helenofcalifornia, post: 529450, member: 5170"] Remember the good old days? You would be running with a pack of neighborhood kids until 10:30 at night on summer eves. Playing games outside, not a care in the world. The truck spraying DDT for mosquito's out the back of it with big billowing clouds late at night, would be the sirens call for all of us to once again go play in the dead of night out in the streets once again. (Could explain some of our personality quirks too) Television, video games, MTV hadn't taken a hold of us yet. Grandparents still lived with us and exerted their moral compass. Parents for the most part were two people, not one. Didn't have to work two jobs to make ends meet. Of course you were hand me downs and didn't question it. My gram made clothes for me and my cousin, which did not bother us at all. Sunday evenings at the other grandparents with the cousins, aunts uncles, great grandma's. Life was different then. I am glad I lived in that part of the century and wish everyone could live that simply life. But times change and if we don't change with the times, we get left behind. We all have callouses now to life and it's bumps and bruises and harden ourselves with indifference to what happens to our fellow man. You got to or you won't survive. I am off the box now. [/QUOTE]
