Thinking how convenient it was waiting for a TV dinner to heat up in the oven in under 45 minutes.Getting home and waiting 5 minutes for the TV to warm up and turn on.

Remember when people mowed their own lawns, cleaned their own homes, and going out to eat was a special occasion?

There's a whole lot of hate for young people going on this week. I'm sure that your previous generation was saying the same crap about you when they were your age. Circle of life you bunch of geezers!

When someone calls me a geezer, that and the age spots on my hands.

Yep. We heard "These youngsters can't even hitch up a team of horses to a wagon", "you call that music?", "Get a haircut, weirdo!", and such as that.
It's probably just envy. You know, look at those dummies, if I could still do what they can do...

Doesn't matter... just because it was dumb on my (younger) part doesn't mean the young'ns now aren't doing dumb stuff.

I should start making sweeping generalizations about old people that are disguised as jokes, but I don't feel like picking fights right now. Maybe tomorrow, we'll see how I'm feeling depending on my arthritis and constipation.

I'm the youngest member of a church men's group at age 65. On my first meeting after my heart surgery, as we were getting ready, several of us were discussing surgeries we'd been through etc. Someone turned to Harry, who is our oldest member at 90+, and said "Harry, you're awfully quiet." Harry pushed his glasses up on his nose and said "I'm just listening to you old folks talk about your problems."
Two things stand out. It is, indeed, a matter of perspective. And, youth is, in fact, wasted on the young. I never understood that saying as a kid. Now, I know, too late. Or not, depending upon one's perspective.
I think I'll spend the next few days camping, and riding my motorcycle around middle Tennessee with my girlfriend.

I can remember a new place called McDonalds where I could get three hamburgers, fries and a coke for 99 cents.

I later realized that the candy bars were normally 8 cents each and on sale for a nickle each at that time.
At the bowling alley my parents went to, you could get a bottle of pop out of the machine for a dime.In Fumo Pax
