Bloocrab you say all that like it's a bad thing. If you really think about those things we older folk experienced growing up, it probably explains more why we are still here, rather than dead. We lived a simple yet full, rich, existence. We were challenged to be creative with materials on hand, and we toughed it out and weren't pampered. Fast food and the then unheard of "junkfood" we got on special occasions, not on an artery clogging regular basis. Friend, those were my good old days and I feel like I try to live that way as an adult. I don't rely on a cellphone being constantly charged, attached to the side of my head, I don't fall for all the high-tech to make my life easier, if I have a headache I still take Bayer aspirin for children. Maybe we survived because we're completely the opposite of kids today - unspoiled, healthy diet, Lincoln Logs insteasd of Lazertag, treated cuts with Bactine and bandaids instead of calling the EMT's at the drop of a hat and fussing over if there will be a scar and thoughts of "should we sue?"
It was a good time to bring back some really good childhood memories. Thanks from a survivor.
