Oh, I loved those Evel Knievel wind up motorcycles!

Remember "Smash-Up Derby?"

And Halloween didn't cost you a couple hundred.

Sounds fair. We've been blaming it on you guys for at least 200 years now.

I think it's actually the fault of the bloody Germans but all this dressing up and having to buy tons of sweets to hand out to children begging at the door is definitely you guys!

Remember in automobiles when things like radios, air conditioning, and power steering were options? I remember seeing the stripped down version of trucks on the lot and the ones that were "loaded."

Personally, I wouldn't mind if we didn't have a single television in the house. When we do watch it, we watch shows on animal planet, national geographic and the history channel.
I have no children (by choice) but I do have young nieces and nephews and what I see on TV today is horribly destructive. For instance, most of the shows geared at teens are about rich brats who never have to work a day in their lives. So teenagers want the latest $500 iphone, and the hundred dollar jeans, and the expensive hair extensions.

I am NOT a prude, far from it, but even I can see that what TV offers to our children is screwing them up. The past few generations I say would be classified as spoiled brats with a sense of entitlement who think everything should be handed to them on a silver platter. They don't understand the concept of WORKING YOUR WAY TO THE TOP. They want to start a new job as the president of the company.

Did you know that certain girls are "saving" their virginity until marriage these days? Doesn't that sound nice? NO! Because they are participating in anal sex and still claiming to be virgins. If I had a teenage daughter in today's society, I would be a mess and I wouldn't let her out of the house!!!!

Damn, that sounded like the rant of an old lady. I keep forgetting I am 44 because I think and act like a 16 year old (but I don't dress like them)

haha.... I remember my brother coming home and snatching his Tauntuan from me. I was surrounded by his Star Wars figurines mixed with my Barbies. Tauntuan's belly was useful for holding things Barbie related lol.
