What are the things that you had to do as a kid, but today's 18 year old never had to do as a necessary part of life. I'll start the list - Choose between one of 3 or 4 channels - Adjust the antenna once the channel was selected - Wait for the TV to warm up - Carry 2 dimes to make an emergency phone call - Use a phone book to find someone's phone number - Go to an arcade to play a video game - Use a card catalog to find a book in a library - Use an encyclopedia to research a topic continue...... Pronoun: His Royal Highness and benevolent Majesty of all he surveys 343 - Never Forget Its better to be Pavlov's dog than Schrodinger's cat There are three types of mistakes; Those you learn from, those you suffer from, and those you don't survive. | ||

Wow. Fill up the car with the change in the back seat. Use a rotary dial phone Watch only what your parents were watching because there was only 1 television. Waiting for the "party line" to become available so you could make a phone call | |||

Very good one. I still remember coming home from leave (after being gone a year) and having my whole family waiting for me as I got off of the airplane! (1990) To add - I have to believe that the airlines actually like that new rule. I have to wonder how many people snuck onto airplanes using someone else's ticket back then. At least now, anyone past security must be a ticketed passenger. ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||
