What fo u remember that kids wouldn't understand today?
tsar4 replied to fuggstop's topic in Free-For-All
If I wanted to see a music video, they didn't exist. I remember when games only came on boards. I remember when you didn't have to pay for cable because there were only a handful of channels and were broadcast OTA. Well to do people had antenna rotators. I remember being 8 and going to my first Blackhawks game. There was a lot of smoke and burnt out buildings around the Chicago Stadium. I remember being bored only when there was nobody else to play with, one friend always got Scarlet Fever in the Summer, a lot of the rest went off to Summer Camp. I remember when 5 & dime stores sold bunnies at Easter that farmers had raised. I remember being 6 and playing bowling in our long (to me) hallway with a clincher softball and plastic pins. I remember my parents taking me with to a Parent-Teacher conference. My folks were told that I told the teacher I "couldn't read", which she said was untrue, I read very well. So my folks called me in and asked why I said that & I answered that "I can't read the newspaper" (meaning I couldn't fully understand all the words). I remember going to "Ma's & Pa's Candy store" with a quarter and buying a bag full of candy, bullseye, slow pokes, black cows, root beer barrels, etc. Years later, I walked into a "By the Weigh" candy story, recognized that smell & was immediately taken back to being that kid. Everyone had a black and white tv. Time passed far too quickly. -

Meanwhile, back at the question... Yes. Even people who've had organ transplants have exhibited traits of their donors. Like hating particular foods, then after the donation not being able to get enough of that food (which the donor happened to love). Half your kid's genes (give or take) are her father's. -
You cut him short. He also could rip it up on Banjo, Mandolin, Fiddle & Harmonica.

No music in a corporate office, just "white noise" broadcasted over the PA. Use my phone & listen to Spotify. When I was in the stores, they had Muzak. I felt ill the first time I heard the Muzak version of "Another Brick in the Wall".
