I'm in this group, and, remember only getting to drink coke on special occasions, and, candy only on holidays and special occasions!<br /><br />I had a hard time getting here...just couldn't seem to open it up, and there's double-vision writing in between your paragraphs and comments. But I got through most of it.<br /><br />Great thoughts, and truisms Thisisme.

M...I do think parents are over-cautious these days. My daughters do too. Bubble-wrapped kids! I loved not wearing a seat belt and my parents buying huge gas-guzzling cars. My brother, sister and I had such fun playing in the back seat. We could even make beds on the floor the cars were so wide and long. Still, I do feel safer with seat belts on all my family members!<br /><br />I do think video games have been bad for kids because they rarely want to go outside and play. We made up a lot of our own games and had a ball doing it.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175778756449339363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-44290257850415609902013-06-03T13:55:30.901+01:002013-06-03T13:55:30.901+01:00 I grew up in the seventies, and also drank out of... I grew up in the seventies, and also drank out of a garden hose, rode my bike without a helmet, rode in the car as a baby in a portable crib with no seat belt, ate bits of raw hamburger that my father would give to us while he prepared a meal, and tons of other stuff!<br />Loved this post!!!!

When without TV, I remember I played with my brother outside a lot and shared the water from faucet p;)<br />And definitely more personal contact the each other☆☆☆<br /><br />Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*<br /> orchid0324https://www.blogger.com/profile/01230850040531307075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-38050382013882228252013-06-03T01:56:37.984+01:002013-06-03T01:56:37.984+01:00I can identify with all of them for the most part ...I can identify with all of them for the most part and can remember how much fun it was. Today the majority of folks seem to drink neverending "diet" drinks with aspartame and Lord knows what other evil things and most of these people are overweight and always will be. It's sad and like I saw on Pinterest today kids are obese because hamburgers are 99 cents and salads are $4.99. It is a losing proposition. The whole country needs to see your post for today.<br />Oh and I love your beautiful header. Have an awesome week.<br />Hugs,<br />Odie<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920831144240024660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-45348999216135436022013-06-03T00:48:01.553+01:002013-06-03T00:48:01.553+01:00You blog looks a little funny to me.

Life's simple pleasures are the best by far but few people seem to realize it these days. Thank you very much for reminding boomers how fortunate we were to have been children of the 50s. Ours was the last generation to experience the joys of a low tech world, one in which less was indeed more. Have a wonderful week ahead, dear friend Thisisme!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-67167762655330802072013-06-02T22:02:32.317+01:002013-06-02T22:02:32.317+01:00About a week or so ago I said to Bruce that I was ...About a week or so ago I said to Bruce that I was so grateful to have grown up when we did. It was so much simpler then and there was respect for others along with such fun. It's a sad world today and so unsafe. The lack of respect floors me!

I was born in the late 60's and don't know where the years has gone, it goes so fast or does it only feel this way as we're getting older? Hope you've had a good day my friend.
