The human experience before electronics hijacked real life…..sigh.

We used to ride to Harm’s Woods, about 5 miles from home when I was about 9 or 10. We’d be gone all day. No one had a phone. No one knew where we were. We had dirt clod or slingshot fights, would get soaking wet, hide & seek…some how we all made it.

We had about 10 acres we called “The Jungle” the back-end of the cemetery that hadn’t been cleared. We had fords of the stream that meandered through, bike jumps, swing ropes, etc. We would either go there or under the several concrete bridges down the creek.
Bacon’s shopping center was nearby and it was fun going through shit they’d throw out from the stores.

What’s harder than getting 4 pregnant women into a VW bug? Getting 4 women pregnant in a VW bug.

And is that porn star Marylin Chambers on the Ivory Snow box or her replacement?

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but the onset of that hippie mentality brought about a few good things, but also the destruction of the family. I knew a woman who died a couple years ago in her late 80’s who’d left her husband in the ‘70’s to be a free spirit in California. She had kids and I don’t know if she left the kids as well. She admitted that leaving her husband was a huge mistake. Most people never have the humility to admit such a thing and cling for the rest of their lives to some lame justification. So I don’t look at the Jim Morrison poster the same way I look at the station wagon photos. Also, drugs are bad, for the most part.

Right or wrong, I associate 60s/drug use as the current dem party. Those hippies/socialists have infiltrated our government. Think Clintons and their ilk.

I feel so sorry for today’s kids. Their lives seem so…thin, for want of a better word. The more conscientious, or conversely, irresponsible the parents, the more protected they are from the type of free roaming and expected self-reliance that was the norm for past generations. They have so little opportunity for wonderful adventures.

The ubiquitous screens that surround them or are in their hands permit them to endlessly watch other people doing life of some sort while they sit passively inside their homes. Screens have even invaded the automobile, so on a road trip there is not even any reason to watch the world roll by, giving no opportunity for young brains to learn to tolerate boredom or to wonder and frame mindful questions about things observed. It hurts my heart to routinely see toddlers in a shopping cart or stroller interacting with a cell phone. I keep wondering what this lifestyle is doing to their brains, and I wonder what kind of adults are being created. I fear they are being perfectly formed to feel comfortable in a brave new world.

Great response and one of my concerns, as well. The cell phone has become the new pacifier and kids get addicted to it quickly.

This old Xer has spent plenty of time ripping on younger generations. While I still like to give Millennials a hard time ( 😛 ), I’ve begun to really think about what the world looks like to Gen Z. An image of the Hindenburg keeps coming to mind.

The next to last picture hits home for me. When we go to visit the granddaughter, her 4 y-o twin girls like to play hide and seek in the basement. There are not many hiding places, but I try to make it as difficult as possible to find them and do a terrible job of hiding so they can easily find me. It is time well spent and cherished by all of us. those girls love to have me come visit because, I give them as much time as they want and that is really all they care about.

When your man comes home, prepare yourself and be a little gay. Bad advice for straight families.

That was before they declared war on language and therefore communication. Now words can mean the opposite of their real meaning – like “gay”, or they can mean something totally unrelated to the real meaning. We are living the transition to 1984 newspeak.

People are finally noticing that perhaps the single biggest weapon of the Progressives is the deliberate weaponization of language. Continually change definitions, make word usage so nebulous that no one can think clearly. Example: “trans-woman”. As soon as you say “trans-WOMAN” you have already conceded that the person being spoken about is some variety of woman. The next time you hear “trans-woman” just say “There’s no such thing as a trans-woman. You are talking about a MAN with a mental illness.”

Hell, even the name “Progressive” is fake. There’s no PROGRESS at all with their ideas.

I worry about this generation. As a WWII baby, I think of the young men that invaded Normandy, the vets of Korea freezing to death and my generation in the jungles of Vietnam. Kids today need a crying room if someone hurts their feelings? We’re in trouble folks.

Mine was a ’64, 330, 4 BBL, auto w/posi-trak. I’ll tell ya, that car had a soul. And it saved mine about a dozen times when I was a teen-age wild man behind the wheel.

JQ or Av:
Can you clue me in, or forward to TMWNN?
I’ve seen this before upon opening some posts on TBP.
On this post, my anti malware shows a pop up screen that says it blocked a Trojan website called GeeksOnCoffee.com
The pop up window recedes too quickly before I could capture the IP Address that is a part of the notice.
Not sure if the blocked site is part of a commenter’s addition, or if it’s part of the post content or an ad on the sidebar?
Hasn’t seemed to affect my PC’s, but does have the curiosity bug wondering.
Any clue?

25 years ago, when everyone was pining for the “good old days”, a buddy of mine said out of the blue,
“These are the good old days”
I try to live my life that way.
Like TN Patriot playing hide an seek with his grand children.
We make our own memories.
There is no better time than the present to do so.
