Hilarious! Growing up without a cell phone



If you are 36, or older, you might think this is hilarious!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were,when they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning....Uphill... Barefoot...BOTH ways..yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!



But now that I'm over the ripe old age of forty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it!

1) I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!

2) There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen!Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox, and it would take like a week to get there! Stamps were Five Pence.

3) Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our ass! Nowhere was safe!

4) There were no MP3's or Napsters or iTunes! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself!

5) Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio, and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished, and then the tape would come undone rendering it useless. Cause, hey, that's how we rolled, Baby! Dig?

6) We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that's it!

7) There weren't any freakin' cell phones either. If you left the house, you just didn't make a damn call or receive one. You actually had to be out of touch with your "friends". OH MY GOSH!!! Think of the horror... not being in touch with someone 24/7!!! And then there's TEXTING. Yeah, right. Please! You kids have no idea how annoying you are.

8) And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your parents, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, the collection agent... you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

9) We didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! Wehad the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your screen guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen.. Forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

10) You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel!!! NO REMOTES!!! Oh, no, what's the world coming to?!?!

11) There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying? We had to wait ALL WEEKfor cartoons, you spoiled little rat-s!

12) And we didn't have microwaves. If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove! Imagine that!




13) And our parents told us to stay outside and play... all day long. Oh, no, no electronics to soothe and comfort. And if you came back inside... you were doing chores!




And car seats - oh, please! Mum threw you in the back seat and you hung on. If you were lucky, you got the "safety arm" across the chest at the last moment if she had to stop suddenly, and if your head hit the dashboard, well that was your fault for calling "shot gun" in the first place!




See! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled rotten! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1970or any time before!

The Over 40 Crowd

PLEASE read this carefully!






I do not want this to happen

to the people who mean so

much to me...

[Mmmme...]

Here is a laugh for you folks!
We have satellite tv and had just under 200 channels.
Suddenly there was nothing to watch other than the new at dinner time.
DH added a few more channels.....
I grew up in a home hat didn't have cable.
We were hooked up to our neighbour's antenna. He was in the TV repair business.
We rarely lacked for anything to watch....

From my Australian friend ...Julia Gillard is their PM

A Soldier’s Wife Confesses
This came from a Soldier’s wife. It says it all:

I sat, as did millions of other Australians, and watched as the government
Underwent a peaceful transition of power twelve months ago.
At first, I felt a swell of pride and patriotism while
Julia Gillard took her oath of office .
However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched 21 SAS Soldiers
In full dress uniform with rifles,
Fire a 21-gun salute to the Prime Minister.
It was then that I realized how far Australia's military had deteriorated..
Every one of them missed the B!tch.

I failed a Health and Safety course at work today.

One of the questions was: "In the event of a fire, what steps

would you take?"


"F#@kin' big ones" was apparently the wrong answer.

evening Q sters,

after 2 1/2 months & 3 turbo stickks, i'm finally able to get online at home. wonder how long this one will last. the last one that they sent me didn't even work. i had plugged it in, was able to get to get online for about 30 seconds, then it kicked me out. after spending 4 days with the IT department, they finally determined that the stick they sent me was defective. got this one in yesterday, but this was the first chance i've had to see if it works. so far so good.

[the H team]

congrats to Nicky for winning today's trip.

Hope everyone enjoyed their day.

I snuck the little one into the office to meet some cat people who just started working there (everyone wanted their own "roommate in a purse"). He was his usual charming self & only hissed once (I warned her not to tell him she was a dog person ). When we were getting ready to leave, I helped him on with his jacket (hey, it was cold & damp outside!), which proved to be a source of endless amusement. Apparently, cats are not supposed to be that co-operative.

Poor Lily dog was terribly jealous, especially since I also got to meet the new neighbours. She's still sulking. Might have to bake a fresh batch of cookies just for her. I'm still waiting for the day someone will bake for me (I suspect I have a very long wait for that ).

Night all.

Good luck with it my friend. I hope this one serves you well!

One of the threads on here that's fun is the question thread. I have combined some of the questions I have asked there & am posing them to you.

Have you ever wondered "Why" as Annie Lennox asked?
& was it days of future, or days of future passed?
Do you think that Lola was a good influence on The Kinks?
& isn't there a band that's called 182 blinks?
Is it true that Roxy Music is stylish & kinda swanky?
& did you know that Phil Collins is not so lean & lanky?
Do you like The Cars or Talking Heads & just what are they saying?
Have you heard that Sting practices delaying?
Do you like the botox in Tom Jones & does Delilah like him even more?
& do you like those protest songs that make us wish there was no war?
Do you think that Alfie figured out what’s It All About?
Wasn’t it Gwen Stefani who showed us there was No Doubt?
Didn’t Dire Straits teach us to do the Walk of Life?
& why does old Rod Stewart seem to have wife after wife?
Does Barry Manilow really write songs that make the whole sing?
Didn’t Johnny Cash have a hit regarding a burning fire & its ring?
& was it not Bob Jovi who quipped to all have a nice day?
& do you think Lady Gaga was really born that way?
Remember dancing to colour your world with your honey so slowly?
& do you think Led Zeppelin belongs in houses that are holy?
Do you think Pink Floyd is a euphemism for something undefined?
& don’t you think listening to music is a great way to unwind?

Oh Loocie, you totally blow me away with your rhymes. And yes, I do remember all of these tunes!

[the H team]

Good luck with it my friend. I hope this one serves you well!

me too.

[Mmmme...]

The wind is so strong outside. If I didn't know better,
I could easily imagine a bad snow storm. Much too warm for that.

I am fighting to keep my eyes open.... so I will stop fighting and head
upstairs to sleep....

Have to take my daughter to see her Dr. in London tomorrow.

One thing I mus say... as crazy as my boss is, when it comes to health
and especially kids, he is very generous and gives me the time off I need
to take my daughter to he appointments. He has been good with me too.

I repped where I could and am now back in jail....
I will get you as soon as I am able!

Enjoy a delicious evening and sleep....

[Lee03]
