[BITList] WHEN LIFE WAS FUN

Mon Nov 19 13:14:01 GMT 2012

We had this before but doesn't hurt to jog the old gray matter
frank


    *When Life Was Fun**
    *
    *All the girls had ugly gym uniforms? And wore tennis shoes not $200
    Nike's!**
    **
    *


    *It took three minutes for the TV to warm up?
    **
    *


    *Nobody owned a purebred dog?
    **
    *


    *When a quarter was a decent allowance?
    **
    *


    *You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny?
    **
    *


    *Your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces?
    **
    *


    *You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped,
    without asking, all for free, every time? And you didn't pay for
    air? And, you got trading stamps to boot?
    **
    *


    *Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside
    the box?
    **
    *


    *It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a
    real restaurant with your parents?
    **
    *


    *They threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed... And
    they did it!
    **
    *


    *When a 57 Chevy was everyone's dream car...to cruise, peel out, lay
    rubber or watch submarine races, and people went steady?
    **
    *


    *No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always
    in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked?
    **
    *


    *Lying on your back in the grass with your friends... And saying
    things like, 'That cloud looks like a... '?
    **
    *


    *Playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules of the
    game?
    **
    *


    *Stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals
    because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger...
    **
    *


    *And with all our progress, don't you just wish, just once, you
    could slip back in time and savor the slower pace, and share it with
    the children of today.
    **
    *


    *When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to
    the fate that awaited the student at home?
    **
    *


    *Basically we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of
    drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents
    were a much bigger threat! But we survived because their love was
    greater than the threat.
    **
    *


    *And our summers were filled with bike rides, Hula Hoops, and visits
    to the pool, and eating Kool-Aid powder with sugar.
    **
    **Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say, 'Yeah, I remember
    that'?
    *
    *I am sharing this with you today because it ended with a Double Dog
    Dare to pass it on... To remember what a Double Dog Dare is, read
    on... And remember that the perfect age is somewhere between old
    enough to know better and too young to care.
    **
    **
    **Send this on to someone who can still remember Howdy Doody and The
    Peanut Gallery, the Lone Ranger, The Shadow Knows, Nellie Bell
    ,Royand Dale , Trigger and Buttermilk.
    **
    **
    How Many Of These Do You Remember?
    **Candy cigarettes...
    **
    **Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water inside...
    **
    **
    Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles...

    Coffee shops with Table Side Jukeboxes...

    Blackjack, Clove and Teaberry chewing gum...
    **
    *
    *Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers...
    **
    **
    Newsreels before the movie...
    *
    *
    *
    *Telephone numbers with a word prefix...( Yukon**2-601). Party lines...
    **
    **
    Peashooters...
    **

    **
    Hi-If's & 45 RPM records...
    **
    **
    78 RPM records...
    **
    **
    Green Stamps...
    **
    **
    Mimeograph paper...
    **
    *
    *The Fort ApachePlay Set...
    **
    **Do You Remember a Time When Decisions were made by going...
    **'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'?
    *
    *Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, 'Do Over!'?
    *
    *'Race issue' meant arguing about who ran the fastest?
    **
    **
    Catching The Fireflies Could Happily Occupy An Entire Evening?
    **
    **
    **
    It wasn't odd to have two or three 'Best
    Friends'...
    **
    **

    Having a Weapon in School meant being caught with a Slingshot?
    **
    *
    *Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute commercials for action
    figures?
    **
    **
    'Oly-oly-oxen-free' made perfect sense?
    **
    *
    *Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for
    giggles?
    **

    **
    The Worst Embarrassment was being picked last for a team?
    **
    *
    *War was a card game?
    **
    **
    Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle?
    **
    *
    *Taking drugs meant orange flavored chewable aspirin?
    **
    **
    Water balloons were the ultimate weapon?
    **
    **
    If you can remember most or all of these, Then You Have Lived!!!!!!!
    **
    Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their 'Grown-Up' Life..
    **I Double-Dog-Dare-Ya!*
