Things I miss from the younger days.......
Things we did in our youth are disappearing......for example Drive in Movies. This was the best way to be safe with your girlfriend and have all sorts of fun in the car..alone.......The first movie I went to was the French Connection the only Frenching and Connecting was me all over her. I could not begin to tell you one thing about the movie...I never watched it..
Then bowling lanes, now a thing of the past they torn down the bowling alley in my town 15 years ago, I enjoyed
balling bowling a lot, I even took it as an elective in college to just gym class. Now, gone the way of the dinosaur. Ice skating on a frozen pond...thanks to global warming ponds don't freeze sturdy enough.....what things have changed in your world since your youth????

Still have bowling alleys here, and they are popular.
I never skated on a frozen pond but I do miss going to skating rinks. I think they're still out there, but I wouldn't dream of going to one now. I never saw ANYONE under 30 on the ice unless they were either side of a kid gingerly skidding between them.
I recently noticed a hopscotch outline drawn onto the pavement, that pleased me very much.
A lot of the stuff I enjoyed is still there but I got older and would stick out like a sore thumb.
I do sometimes miss being younger. Not often - but it happens.
Kids in my day used to race on back roads too.Some would play chicken and some would crash/burn and get hurt.
I was never stupid enough to do it though.Never chose to be part of the incrowd so to speak.
Besides my hair is white enough.I'd have to invest in more hair dye.
I'm laughing so hard I'm dying.
A sense of humor comes in pretty handy sometimes.Especially in this crazy messed up world.
I often laugh at myself.
You are quite right. The gross saturation of water in "the auld sod" is only matched by the saturation of greed in the Irish Parliament.
There were 3 different places we could swim, leading up to the section you weren't really welcome to, unless you were 16+, as that is where the flirting happened
On my Grandparents farm ,there was no shortage of animals, from horses, to cattle, to turkeys and ducks.... but these days those type of farms are very rare.
Well from a kid perspective...kids do not hang out with each other and play outside in the neighborhood anymore like we used to...now there are play dates and malls for holding Halloween...
Whats that old saying, Less is more,
Yes it was simpler times and kids had spent their energy well...now kids are getting more idle...diabetes and obesity...a huge problem for North Americans...
Yes...pillow cases and getting lots of candy...then going back for more!!...those were the days!!
