Happy Thanksgiving my friends


A little house with three bedrooms,

one bathroom and one car on the street.

A mower that you had to push

to make the grass look neat.

In the kitchen on the wall

we only had one phone,

And no need for recording things,

someone was always home.

We only had a living room

where we would congregate,

unless it was at mealtime

in the kitchen where we ate.

We had no need for family rooms

or extra rooms to dine.

When meeting as a family

those two rooms would work out fine.

We only had one TV set

and channels maybe three,

But always there was one of them

with something worth to see.

For snacks we had potato chips

that tasted like a chip.

And if you wanted flavor

there was Lipton's onion dip.

Store-bought snacks were rare because

my mother liked to cook

and nothing can compare to snacks

in Betty Crocker's book.

Weekends were for family trips

or staying home to play.

We all did things together --

even go to church to pray.

When we did our weekend trips

depending on the weather,

no one stayed at home because

we liked to be together.

Sometimes we would separate

to do things on our own,

but we knew where the others were

without our own cell phone.

Then there were the movies

with your favorite movie star,

and nothing can compare

to watching movies in your car.

Then there were the picnics

at the peak of summer season,

pack a lunch and find some trees

and never need a reason.

Get a baseball game together

with all the friends you know,

have real action playing ball --

and no game video.

Remember when the doctor

used to be the family friend,

and didn't need insurance

or a lawyer to defend?

The way that he took care of you

or what he had to do,

because he took an oath and strove

to do the best for you.

Remember going to the store

and shopping casually,

and when you went to pay for it

you used your own money?

Nothing that you had to swipe

or punch in some amount,

and remember when the cashier person

had to really count?

The milkman used to go

from door to door,

And it was just a few cents more

than going to the store.

There was a time when mailed letters

came right to yourdoor,

without a lot of junk mail ads

sent out by every store.

The mailman knew each house by name

and knew where it was sent;

there were not loads of mail addressed

to "present occupant."

There was a time when just one glance

was all that it would take,

and you would know the kind of car,

the model and the make.

They didn't look like turtles

trying to squeeze out every mile;

they were streamlined, white walls, fins

and really had some style.

One time the music that you played

whenever you would jive,

was from a vinyl, big-holed record

called a forty-five.

The record player had a post

to keep them all in line

and then the records would drop down

and play one at a time.

Oh sure, we had our problems then,

just like we do today

and always we were striving,

trying for a better way.

Oh, the simple life we lived

still seems like so much fun,

how can you explain a game,

just kick the can and run?

And why would boys put baseball cards

between bicycle spokes

and for a nickel, red machines

had little bottled Cokes?

This life seemed so much easier

and slower in some ways.

I love the new technology

but I sure do miss those days.

So time moves on and so do we

and nothing stays the same,

but I sure love to reminisce

and walk down memory lane.

This song/title was the answer to one of Jeopardy's questions .

Question was (paraphrased): "What 1980s song do history teachers praise for its educational value?"

Whether you are a Billy Joel fan or not, you probably remember this song, 'We Didn't Start the Fire.'

Never could understand all the references in Billy Joel's song -- now fortunately, with this video, we can "see" what our "ears" couldn't.

Apparently, it's Joel's homage to the historical headlines since his birth (1949). Wish we could have appreciated the depths of this song when it was released. Decades later, it's amazing what Joel was able to put into music and lyrics lasting only a few minutes.

Here it is, set to pictures. It's an interesting flashback through the past half century. Turn up volume, sit back and enjoy a review of 50 years of history in less than 3 minutes,thanks to Billy Joel and some guy from the University of Chicago with a lot of spare time and Google.

The older you are, the more pictures you will recognize. Anyone over age 65 should remember over 90% of what
they see, but it's great at any age.

Just got back from dinner at my friend's. Turkey dinner was wonderful, but we broke with tradition & had cheesecake in lieu of pie for dessert (not that anyone was complaining). I even got some turkey leftovers for the brats (why does everyone give me food for them? is their begging *that* loud? ).

I was going to stay overnight & have Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow with my folks, but we had lunch today instead (cabbage rolls, yummy!). & of course, they packed me enough food to feed the 3 of us for a week.

Hope everyone had a wonderful day.

Night all.

Hello attitash,
Your post causes me some concern. Not sure where you are from but would it not be better just to scape the windows instead of scrapping the whole car? It might even be cheaper to build a garage.
