Memories of times gone by. What you got?
Remember when... -you could smoke on an airplane? -your little league coach smoked at practice and showed up with all the gear in his old army duffle bag? -you were pulled behind a boat in an old inner tube with electrical tape hold the valve stem down? If you were lucky you had an inner tube off a semi. -no one had cell phones, computers, etc, and we survived anyway? -the only hunters that had camo were in the military or had family that was? -there was no call waiting/answering machines? If you couldn't get a hold of someone you tried back later. -fast food was in town and something you only got maybe twice a year? -summer time short pants were only gotten by cutting off the legs of old blue jeans? -riding in the bed of your dad's pickup, sitting on the wheel well, going 60 mph, and no one thought anything of it?
If voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it.-Mark Twain

No AC in the house. Box fans with no screen to keep your fingers out. Porch swings. Shelling peas and butter beans on your grandmothers porch. Vent windows on cars and trucks. Picking up bottles to take to the gas station to buy a plastic pack of BBs. Porch swings with the coat hanger between the arm and chain to keep it from flipping over.

Yep, I remember all this things.
Plus, no one wore seatbelts. You sat a baby on a pillow in the front seat instead of in a babyseat.

I remember when there was a designated smoking area at high school, for the students! Yep, and we could dip in class.

I remember having a 30-30 in my rear window gunrack when I was in highschool.Not a word was ever spoken about it.

-Stores were CLOSED on Sundays or either opened at noon.
-You could buy a NEW car or truck for less than $10k.
-Someone under the age of 18 could buy a pack of cigarettes or can of snuff.
-You could carry a gun in your car to school because everyone knew you were going hunting after school was out.
-When the streetlights came on, you better be home (unless your parents knew where you were)
-Waking at daylight on Saturday mornings to watch the Saturday morning cartoon lineup (Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Wile Coyote, Yosemite Sam, Superfriends, etc). Then when cartoons were over it was time for SECW (Southeastern Championship Wrestling)
-You would get into a fight at school and get sent to the principal's office. There you'd usually get a paddling and get sent back to class. Now, kids get sent to the principal's office, the police are called, and the kids usually get suspended and arrested.
-You could stay in the car, in the middle of the summer, while your mom spent an hour in the grocery store...and we all turned out fairly normal.
-Returning 32oz glass coke bottles to the store to get the deposit back.

I'm too young to remember most of that my dad always told me I was born 20 years too late. I did carry guns in my truck sometimes but no one knew. I got in school suspension for pellets and cigaret butts in my truck one time. Y'all had it good and I'd love for things to be that way today a lot less issues of today I believe.

All that and girls wore tight fitten blue jeans. Miss those days. You must not be paying attention. They still do! Shirts as well. I can't remember girls having boobs as big as they do now. Must be something in the water now days.
If you claim to be a Christian then why do you act like the devil? You will be known by the fruit you bear!
