WE ARE SURVIVORS!!! Consider the changes we have witnessed:
We were born before television, before polio shots, frozen foods, Xerox, plastic. contact lenses, Frisbees and the PILL.
We were born before credit cards, split atoms, laser beams and ball point pens; before pantyhose, dishwashers, clothes dryers, electric blankets, air conditioners in our homes, drip-dry clothes and before man walked on the moon.
We got married first and then lived together. How quaint can you be?
In our time, closets were for clothes, not for "coming out of." Bunnies were small rabbits and rabbits were not Volkswagons. Designer jeans were scheming girls named
Jean or Jeanne. and having a meaningful relationship meant getting along well with our cousins.
We thought that fast food was what you ate during Lent, and Outer Space was the back of the Paramount Theater.
We were before house husbands, gay rights, computer dating, dual careers and commuter marriages. We were before daycare centers, group therapy and nursing homes. We never heard of FM radio, tape decks, electric typewriters. artificial hearts, word processors, yogurt. and guys wearing earrings. For us time sharing means togetherness - not computers or condominiums : a "chip" meant a piece of wood, hardware meant hardware and software wasn't even a word
In 1940, "made in Japan" meant junk and the term "making out" referred to how you did on your exam. Pizzas, "McDonald's" and instant coffee were unheard of.
We hit the scene when there were 5 and 10 cent stores, where you bought things for five and ten cents. Nau's or Bray & Jordan sold ice cream cones for a nickel or a dime. For one nickel you could ride a bus, make a phone call, buy Pepsi or enough stamps to mail one letter and two postcards. You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600.00, but who could afford one ; a pity too, because gas was 11 cents a gallon
In our day smoking was fashionable. GRASS was mowed, COKE was a cold drink, and POT was something you cooked in. ROCK MUSIC was a Grandma's lullaby and AIDS were helpers in the Principal's office.
We were certainly not before the differences between the sexes was discovered, but we were surely before the sex change; we made due with what we had. And we were the last generation that was so dumb as to think that you needed a husband to have a baby
No wonder we were so confused and there is such a generation gap today
BUT WE SURVIVED)!!! What better reason to celebrate ?
