The Good Old Times

[Bliss Doubt]

Food for thought: picture an older person skipping. Somebody is going to call the police to have them make sure you are OK. Most people will avoid you, thinking you are a lunatic. Clown clothes and makeup will make you seem more normal, and make them wonder where the party is.

Anything can catch on and become popular in a very short time, especially a fitness idea.

I believe we are coming to the end of the era when we trust authority more than we trust our own instincts. If you don't want to skip, don't do it. If you want to skip, then who cares what anybody thinks. You can't be arrested for skipping, to my knowledge.

Actually when I skipped across that parking lot, it wasn't that easy. It will take some practice to do it the way kids do it, innately experiencing that physical strength, bouncing higher and higher.

Our power will never be found in fear.

Does anyone remember when inside bottle caps were made out of cork

I can remember they used to have contests and you would scratch the cork out to see if you won anything, usually another soda.

 

[Jimi]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Also do you remember when all beverage cans needed a can opener.?

When I was a kid every school field trip that we had to take a lunch we all (kids in my family) got a can of soda in our lunch bag and back then all soda cans required a can opener to be able to get at the soda so we all had to be responsible for a can opener also.

It reminds me of when banks had 4.5% interest on savings accounts...i believe that was due to the inflation 80's, correct u old crumblebums (lol)? i remember as a kid being open to open a savings account to collect interest and in 20 years u have more money, not 20 years of bank fees and costs taken out of it.

So lets see if that happens again, or if they are going to just keep ripping off customers despite all the interest rates adjustments

 

[Jimi]

I can even remember when they used to give you a toaster or other cheap appliance for opening an account at a bank, sure wont see those days anymore

 

[Vape Fan]

5th grade, bank started kids saving accounts,,,put a quarter in to start. that was it lol,,,wonder where it went? Banks gone.

About the same as when I saved up money from summer jobs. I finally get a check book. Adoptive asshole brother steals checks, forges them and cashes them. Police investigators prove he did it. Prosecutor won't pursue case. Bank said I owed them over $600.00. I told them to go suck rocks.

I remember when people didn't dip their gloppy, cheesy, greasy pizza into ranch dressing before eating it. I don't know when that started, but to me it's disgusting excess, and dulls down the flavor of everything else on the pizza.

I do like dipping french fries in the vanilla shake though. Sweet & salty.

Does anyone remember these from a time before bar codes

They still sell those, brand new, they work great for those inner city row houses with the 6 ft by 6ft square grass patch.

I see them all the time

I want one of those. Sometimes I think about asking my landlady for the yard job, for money off my rent. We don't have that much lawn because there's a lot of good landscaping. Some days it feels like it would be worth it to me to show people how its done with one of those reel mowers, without noise, without fumes. But I know on the really cold or really hot days, or super busy days with my real job, I might resent having to do it, or having to do it while the leafblower people up and down the street are there blowing it up my nose.

Have you ever seen anything as adorable as this?

And somewhere on YouTube, which I can't find at this moment, is a vid of the yard guy doing a huge lawn on the grounds of a mansion with a reel mower.

I really like old school sneakers, esp. Keds.



But nowadays even all the fancy sport label sneakers have their "old school" vs. latest.

I still remember mowing the lawn of my godparents when I was little with one of those old reel mowers. That lawn was small compared to the lawn I have now, so there's no way I could do it with one now. However, the ego mower I got does a good job nice and quiet without the fumes. That mower is outlasting any gas mower we had without having to go in for repairs. I even got an ego trimmer as well.

I heard, a few years back, the schools were going to stop teaching handwriting because it isn't used anymore, because of keyboards.
