I grew up without internet, or a MP3 player.. those didnt come into my life till about age 16 or so..
Me 2 well I'm 27 but I waited to tape the radio songs. And I did have a super nintendo, and sometimes if I catch myself breaking rules my butt gets a little sore thinking of the hand-crafted paddle my dad had with finger grips and holes.Yeah they need to tweak the age group of that a little. I'm 28 and I had to wait around all day to tape the song off the radio....
I love the Denis Leary bit on his dad beating him and telling him to mow the lawn, it is so true.I got some hellacious butt-whoopings.I still got physical punishment from my parents.
Also, I prefer if at all costs, to never use a microwave, just not the same quality.
You can't swat a kid on the buns today without getting CSS called on you. It's ridiculous.
At least you weren't the antenna <_<When I was a kid, I was the remote control...and the self propelled lawn mower...and the snow thrower...
Now I know why my parents had kids. Lazy son-of-a-...... <_<
paying it doing jobs that are a breeze compared to what jobs were like when we were younger... face it, life is easy because of those who came before you. Just like our lives were made easier by those who came before us... and we all pay taxes, get over it. <_<A library?? Record store?? :dunno
Over 30 crowd you don't know easy you got it. Our generation will be paying for everything. Taxes, Health care. :angry:
I'm not oldAnother round of the old people waving the cane and saying (imagine a shaky voice here)'well back in my day"
And then complain about not being able to program the VCR.
I will never buy the viewpoint that things are 'easier' now because of tech, different yes, but there is much different expectations now, as well as other things to worry about.
Hated it when Mom hit the vacumn up on Sat. mornings. The TV would turn to snow and had to wait til she was done fluff'n the green shag carpet. She ALWAYS did it when GI Joe was on too...Not to mention the the huge television sets from back in the day, that had to match my parents wood grain paneling. Didn't have a remote 3 kids and 3 channels wasn't much of a workout.
I got a text message from my mom the other day apologizing for spanking me as a kid. I don't know why. I can't figure out if I was supposed to forgive her so I thanked her. Then I gave my daughter a fresh one for looking at me cross-eyed.I got some hellacious butt-whoopings.I still got physical punishment from my parents.
