How well do you remember life before the digital age?
Zombie never fails to entertain. Read Zombie’s article and the comments that follow, and see how much of it applies to you!
This list has been making the rounds on the Internet, at least since 2002, and probably before.
How much more freedom have we lost since then?
Somehow we survived!!!
Looking back, it’s hard to believe that we have lived as long as we have…
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. (Not to mention hitchhiking to town as a young kid!)
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times we learned to solve the problem.
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day.
No cell phones. Unthinkable.
We played dodgeball and sometimes the ball would really hurt. We got cut and broke bones and broke teeth and there were no law suits from these accidents. They were accidents. No one was to blame but us. Remember accidents?
We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over it.
We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank sugar soda but we were never overweight … we were always outside playing.
We shared one grape soda with four friends, from one bottle and no one died from this?
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X Boxes, video games at all, 99 channels on cable, video tape movies, surround sound, personal cellular phones, Personal Computers, internet chat rooms, … we had friends. We went outside and found them.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s home and knocked on the door, or rung the bell or just walked in and talked to them.
Imagine such a thing. Without asking a parent! By ourselves! Out there in the cold cruel world! Without a guardian. How did we do it?
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever.
We ate penny candy, swallowed bubblegum -and our intestines did not stick together because of it.
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn’t had to learn to deal with disappointment.
Some students weren’t as smart as others so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade … Horrors. Tests were not adjusted for any reason.
Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected. No one to hide behind. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law, imagine that!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years has been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility,! and we learned how to deal with it all. And you’re one of them. Congratulations!
Please pass this on to others that have had the luck to grow up as kids, before lawyers and government regulated our lives, for our own good?
Not.

Things Cat’s Shouldn’t Eat?

12 Hungry Kittehs Devour Their Owner!
The grisly skeletal remains of a 62-year-old man who had been eaten by his 12 hungry cats — possibly while still alive — were discovered recently in Rostov-on-Don.
Officials say it was impossible to determine whether the man — whose name was not released — had died and then was eaten by the famished felines or whether the animals had caused his death by eating him alive, as his body had been mostly consumed.
Police made the horrific discovery after relatives reported that he had not answered his phone or opened his door for several days.
When the cops forced open the door, they found the man’s cats, with blood on their noses and hissing as they prowled around his skeletal remains.
“It is impossible to establish the cause of death,” senior investigator Sergei Udovenko told Express Gazeta.
NOM!! NOM!! INDEED!
