"OK, OK, I'm going as fast as I don't want to go!"
When I was a kid, we . . .
Watched black and white TV
Drank from the garden hose
Drank soda with real sugar
Rode in the back of pick up trucks
Rode in cars that didn't have seatbelts
Played outside until the street lights came on
Made toy guns out of sticks and played cowboys and Indians . . . and nobody was offended!
Watched the Apollo missions go in space for the first time
Respected our elders and teachers
Knew the difference between 'male and female'
Respected each other regardless of each other's opinion
If we got in a fist fight, we were still friends after
Man, I REALLY miss the old days!

Used the coal shovel to move the snow. Clinkers on the ice.
Turned the crank and set the timing lever to start the Oliver.
Always filled the priming can first before filling the buckets.
Horse shoes weren't for tossing in the air.
Nails were square.

That's all we used. After all, father worked in the coal mines, before WWII. After the war, my parents relocated to Michigan, for work in the auto industry.

If you are bored, this can be fun. Go to Walmart and go into the men's fitting room. After you are in there for a bit, yell out, "There's no toilet paper in here!!!"
I am trying to get the wife to wear a name tag. She doesn't think that's funny.
At my age, creepy is all I got goin' for me.
A good day lately is leaving the house with pants.
I'm not deaf. You mumble.

Thank you. I'm not up on social media nuances and it wasn't till recently that I found out that a certain color of type meant sarcasm. I tried it in my number 5 post, but it seems to have not worked.More of a lavender I think, maybe royal purple or violet next time
Nothing new about it, purple text simply means just joking, sarcasm, jest. Has for several years now.

I can't see purple. I'm going to file a discrimination suit!! (assume this is in purple.)
