    Everyone had a fucking beeper...

    Electronic animal pet key chains were a sign of status.....

    Baby bottle pops werent a gay inuendo.......

    brittany spears wasnt just some knocked up trailer park whore.....

    Soul train actually had soul...........

    Gay people were stoned to death at major public events......

    Nigga was only a word that blacks could use.....

    The president acted on accurate information instead of religious brainwash from right-wing bible totting zealots......

    Good music was being produced by artists with talent.........

    The country wasnt infected by that government issued disease, what was it called again? AIDS..............

    Whoopi Goldberg was funny......

    Answering machines were the only way to get messages, unless you had your grandma by your house phone with a note pad and a pencil...........

    good music is still being produced by artists with tallent. not in the mainstream maybe, but only in the late 60s and early 70s was the mainstream ever a nonpoluted water source.

    i remember beepers, before cell phones, when you still had to have at least a ham or cb liscence to use the airwaves.

    but i remember before the stupid beepers too. hell i remember party line phones. when you'd pick up your receiver and all your neighbors would be talking having a defacto confrence call without having to pay for a special service in order to.

    almost like this internet except you might actualy run into them and say hi too.

    i don't remember any president not being influenced to some degree by conscousless economic interests, but i do remember most of them taking into account some sort of real moral responsibility or at least trying to look like they were. mostly i think because capitolism still had socialism to keep it almost honest.

    i do remember when we had real elections, even if they didn't offer us as much choice as people wanted to believe they did.

    i loved whoopie goldberg, and goldie hahn too. whatever part of whatever country baby bottle pops were a gay inuendo i must not have been living in cause this is the first i hear of that one.

    never really noticed brittany, but i remember farrah faucet, and going to high school with someone who looked like her. just about the right number of years before those posters of her started to appear to. in a little small town up in the hills of northern california.

    I remeber it all especially the one about whoopie.I saw her doing stand up 2 nights ago & it was horribly sad I was surprised because all she was doing was talking politics but with never ending foul language,not the funny kind.The only one I dont remember is gay people getting stoned in public places,pet key chains,and baby bottle pops but the rest of em,I feel you.
    Peace & Love

    Remember when............

    there was no toilet paper

    people threw their waste buckets out second story windows onto the street

    sod roofs leaked and chunks of dirt might fall into your soup

    the only heat was a fireplace

    kids ran around barefoot at school cuz there wasn't enough money for shoes

    travelling might mean death if you took the wrong turn into Indian territory

    getting sick meant a housecall and giving up a chicken for payment

    people weren't in an all fired hurry to get nowhere fast, 40 mph was real fast

    travelling to the west coast meant days on a stage coach nad a dusty bumpy ride

    sleeping meant laying down on bug infested piles of straw or worse, rocky ground.

    people helped each other out with food, hospitality and barn raisings

    people said howdy to each other instead of staring at each other

    the best entertainment was someone who could tell a story or play a musical instrument and sing in person

    a lot more people raised there own food instead of pushing a penceil for a living

    you had to learn to sew or show a lot more skin than you wanted to

    the government allowed people to live on their land if they filed a claim and improved it for free

    when someones word meant something was going to happen

    when people learned what plants in nature helped one to be healthy

    when women were homemakers and chopped wood

    when getting things clean meant getting water

    when people who smarted off to you had to do in your face in person

    when respect for the earth meant your life blood

    peace and joy

    McDonalds Hamburgers were a Saturday night treat!.

    KFC was 'Kentucky Fried Chicken'.

    That high shrill telephone sound in all the 1970's U.S. cop shows.

    Jack Lord had all his own hair.

    Ronald Regan had all his own hair.

    Quarts,Dimes & Half $'s were pure silver.

    You put the Milk Bottles out at night.

    Computer Games were 'Pac-Man' & 'Super-Mario'.

    Phil Donahue was a good source of information.

    Remember...


    Drive-in theaters

    .14 cent a gallon gasoline

    .10 cent cokes

    when gay meant happy

    when you could place a call from a pay phone for a dime

    when an attendant pumped your gas for you
    plus cleaned the windshield and checked under the hood

    hi-top Converse were the only cool tennis shoes you could get

    before pop-top cans or screw off bottle caps

    Remember when couples on t.v. slept in twin beds ,and dating meant dinner and a movie. When walk in theatres would have all night creature features on Halloween and
    you wore your sunday best when you went out.
