Let me tell you about the good ole days,

Well I know 26 might be considered too young an age to be thinking about the good ole days but I got one for you... I've packed a lot into those 26 years :D

Back in the good ole days when my preferred mode of transport wasn't a big shiny heavy throbbing bike I used to get about a lot by skateboard and all the time I'd be steering around WHITE DOG POO's... yes, sadly it seems they cut the calcium count back on the bad boys over the last 10 years and it's now a thing of legend.

:D

Damn ! you had to post this as I'm eating my lunch !! :D
I've had many a 30 - 31 inch length skateboards when I was an 11 - 16 year old skate rat, riding in empty swimming pools as well as the street, but I have never, I repeat never skated into white dog poo, nor have I seen such a thing. For me, it was those cherry pits that really sucked while riding a skateboard. It's something about their size and shape that puts the brakes on those little wheels real fast, as you end up tumbling forward on the pavement :o :D
 
When they actually used to whip your ass in school, Had a science teacher that everyone feared, you couldnt sit down when he was done with you. I think that was a big downfall when they took punishment out of schools, just my opinion
 
It would be nice if it was relatively easy for most people to get a decent job like it was in the past. Being able to buy a car that didn't start breaking down in 4 or 5 years and that was easy to fix yourself would also be good now.

Quite right. Even my left knee, which, like my appendix and billions of wasted sperms, apparently the product of "intelligent design," are nothing compared to the fragile shite that plagues every moment of the day.

Take up farming?:hatsoff:

The amount of information people have now is intimidating to me. I tried for 2 weeks to figure out how to make a Wikipedia entry.
I got nowhere as each page of instruction has data on it referring to another page. Like, for instance, "page" would be a "link" that would "lead" to another bit of info etc.
I did learn terms like 'squidoo," actually I 've already forgotten what that means. I also learnt that terminology is virtually endless.
Skype, IM, Gh.o.st or however it is spelt, <<[*&!!@] to {<<2*] etc to parse this code into [><] from ...4[)<>?...} by means of.....whatever.....
Once upon a time I could watch a movie, read a book, go for a walk.
Now everyone except me it seems is born with computer knowledge.
When linking to youtube, some people here use a phrase, "like this" in blue for you to click on, if you follow what I mean. How does one do that? I don't even bother looking up on the internet how it is done as literally hours speed by as I try fathom it out.
Wah wah wah I know but still it is scary.
Can you imagine in the future how much knowledge kids will need to master?
As I walk by coffee shops and see people inside I wonder if they all "know stuff" that I would seriously need to sit down for a month to learn. Yikes.
 
I'm still relatively young, but...

Walking to your buddies house to see if he wanted to play.

When I would do work around the house for my mom, so I could go buy a pop.

Collecting hockey cards.

On a side note, is this a thread about good ole' days, or a thread for bragging about your old shitty ass cars. :)

long lost art, walking to a buddies house, shit my son pretty much demands to be taken somewhere
 
How about when channel 3,8.13 was all you got, kids have no idea how good they have it. but yet i stilll hear, there is nothing on, im like hmmmmmmmmm
 
Bad part is my son won the school wide spelling bee a week ago lol.and he is only in the fifth grade, proud proud, but when i look back at when i was his age i had at least 10-12 yards. mowing that i kept up with per week. heck my son has no clue how to start a mower, but when it comes to the internet. he shows me how to work it.arrgg lol
 
Remember re heating something on the stove? No such thing as microwave!

Black and white tv's only!

Students respectful and actually working in school.

Americans who spoke only English publicly.

Only buying things that you could afford.

Bethlehem steel having over 5000 employees in Pennsylvania, now down to zero.

Families eating meals together.

Paying 1 dollar to see a movie in a downtown theater.

Using a slide rule in physics class, no such thing as calculator.
and on and on.

yeah man, a lot of that stuff, I have no idea what the fuck that is either, but that one is easy.

when you post a link it says: URL= "the address that you posted" followed by the address again because it is defaulted to just post the link text as the address. All you have to do is change the part in quotation marks to say whatever you want to, and then leave the rest the same.
