Do you remember when a 30 minute show only had about 5 minutes of commercials

Do you remember when you looked in the paper in the "Want Ads" for a job? And you filled out a paper application? And they called you if they were interested?

Oh my gosh, yes! And we had to actually visit a brick and mortar building for an interview, LOL! For my now job, I conducted the interview over bluetooth in my car on my way up to my best friend's dad's funeral! How times have changed...

I sure do!

living life with less was easier than all the complications of having more.

Oh I agree!!!!!

When Christmas didn't seem to be the materialistic event it is today?

The family had one TV and one automobile to share, and we all survived it!

we all spoke with respect every word had a distinct pronunciation~ we had control in our manners ~ our children would be humiliated if they knew they acted w/ disrespect. helping each other was a sincere neighborly choice. We made it a point to wish our local store owners a Merry Christmas.

Kids got two full weeks off during Christmas break?

Of course back then we didn't have spring break just the Good Friday off before Easter was all.

Not only that, any large number of kids were tossed into the family sedan sans safety belts...and we all managed to survive, somehow. Let the children land where they may, LOL!

Yes, Easter was sort of a non event, days off from school-wise.

...and the kids were the remote control!

And when the TV knob broke, you used a pair of pliers to change channels!

When cars were so much easier to work on and so MUCH cheaper for repairs!

When you could play outside until dark, and you weren't grabbed by a serial killer?

We played outside as late as we could...our folks would holler for us from the front doors when the street lights came on! And serial killers were literally the last thing on anyone's mind.

When all the guys worked on cars and "souped" up their own muscle cars with

their buddy's help. Your brother would "soup" up a lesser car for you with

your help. Hence, you too, learned how to work on cars.
