THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!

From a friend:
If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears
With their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were
growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning
Uphill... barefoot...
BOTH ways

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up,
There was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap
like that on kids about how hard I had it.
And how easy they've got it!

But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty (plus)
can't help but look around and notice the youth of today.
You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my
childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
And I hate to say it but you kids today you
don't know how good you've got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to
know something, We had to go to the damn library and
Look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!!
There was no email!! We had to actually write
somebody a letter, with a pen!
Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the
mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!

There were no MP3' s or Napsters! You wanted to
steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift
it yourself!
Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ' d
usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!

We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting ! If you were on the phone
and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!

And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either!
When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school,
your mom, your boss, your Bookie, your drug dealer, a collections
agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances!

We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video
Games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600
with games like ' Space Invaders ' and 'Asteroids'. Your guy was a little
square! You actually had to use your Imagination!! And there were no multiple
levels or screens, it was just one screen.
Forever!

And you could never win. The game just kept getting
harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off
Your butt and walk over to the TV to change the Channel and there was no
Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning .
Do you Hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons!!!

And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat
something up we had to use the stove ... Imagine that!
That's exactly what I'm talking about!
You kids today have got it too easy.
You're spoiled. You guys wouldn't have lasted
Five minutes back in 1980!

Regards,

The over 30 Crowd

That loving feeling…

Home sweet home and turkey sandwiches...

Thanksgiving day our home was ‘entertained’ by family and friends…

Saturday we put on another gig for Bum’s side of the family...most of her family, nieces and a grand niece... four of our daughters, sons-in-law, grandsons and grand daughters and lotsa friends…27 in all…and ex-next door neighbors…

For two days we had some guests I related to quite closely: those with annoying habits, sarcastic wits…

Most had loving natures who spoke the truth; some spoiled, totally out of track with reality, slightly bitchy, passive-aggressive and crazy…

A great bunch that made the entire weekend the best in a long time!!!

I loved them all...

Turkey sandwiches are the best...
