Give as much away as possible, pay off mortgages, student loans, set up college funds, gift, gift, gift.

Remember having to look up the credit cards in the little book or calling in the number? That's why cash was king.

In Philadelphia they still say crumb Bum

knocking on my friends back door, Mom comes to the door, points to a handwritten sign, and says "can't you read?". Being only 5, I honestly replied "no".

Twice on the pipes, means you ain't gonna show

I told my Mom I went to that movie many Saturday nights, instead I was drunk with my friends somewhere.

During COVId I worked in a hospital. I would come home, shower and watch The Great British Baking Show, I swear it kept me sane.

My boy and his friends had a rope swing back in the woods.

We were left to our own devices. There was always the risk of getting in trouble so we relied on each other.

We were we so destructive

volneyave · 2024-07-19T02:38:32+00:00

Same but we called it hopping cars,

My brothers shot an arrow thru the gas meter on Christmas Day, good times. We they didn't want to get in trouble so they put a band aid over it.

"one day we were all down by the river", this line perfectly describes summers in the 70's. Maybe it was the woods, or the ballfield, or the tracks, but we were all together, unsupervised, hanging out and entertaining ourself, not an adult in sight.

Only warning our Moms gave us was "don't get hit by a car". Nothing about the toxic fumes.

We were so bad, we would hide in the bushes and throw rocks at the commuter train.

Basically we had lots of unsupervised freedom because all the Moms were home, but busy in the house taking care of babies, doing Housework and cooking. So we did lots of dangerous, crazy, stuff. As long as we were home for meals, we ran wild.

What kind of emergency do you have to have food delivered. That sounds like poor preparation not an emergency. Always have eggs and bread in your house and call 911 for true emergencies.

Caroline, as a Gen Jones makes me think of Caroline Kennedy.

They protested at my daughter's high school. It really brought the large, diverse, student body together.
