Well, I like it but I'm sorry, in my opinion it is not 'dead on' and does not 'hit the nail squarely on the head'. It is a presentation of episodes that make people say 'AIN'T IT AWFUL?!'. Granted, you can find examples of some of the scenarios presented. This appears to be a representation of what is wrong with schools and hijinks of kids, but it is very far off the mark of the real world. But in my opinion (just my opinion y'all) it is great readin to make a person shake their head and say, 'ain't it so true, ain't it awful'. I really do like the post, but for amusement purposes only.

Ok, You young "wipper Snapper" as Gabby Hays use to say!
I know '61 was when you were in Diapers....but I was there and even before....when "Gay" meant something else, :occasion15:
R*bbers were what we call rubber bands, and crew cuts were in style.....and the nastiest commercial on TV was
the Playtex Bra commercial....of course NO one was shown wearing one...just holding it up.... and Coke Syrup was
given to you at school if you had a bad cough( ....tasted just like Coke Cola Use to taste like) :) Howdy Doody was a puppet and
not someone's Dog Poop in the grass, & the 3 stooges were our idols....especially "Curly"

Those were the days of Low crime, Holloween candy Pop Corn Balls by your neighbor, riding your bikes anywhere and not worrying
if someone was going to steal them when you went to the show, Penny candy, Nickel Ice cones, Nickel Cokes, 18Cent a gallon of Gas,
.........I would give anything for my kids, grand kids to experienced what I did back when there was no Color TV... :laughing7: :read2:

Blast from the past! 1961 - carrying the top 40 on 8 tracks in a cardboard box that took up the whole trunk. 2011 carrying 400 songs on a credit card sized device. :laughing9:
