For All Us "Oldies" - Bring Back Those Happy Memories !!! - GoFuckYourself.com

CuriousToyBoy · 02-20-2008, 07:08 PM

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1940's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking as we got older.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a van - loose - was always great fun.

We drank water from the garden hosepipe and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!

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. And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride 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 did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, Xboxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no text messaging, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........

WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We played with worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out any eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!

Local teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

This generation has produced some of the best scientific minds, risk-takers, problem solvers, economic geniouses and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have 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 if you were born in the 1940's, 50's, 60's and 70's, YOU are one of them!

CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.

And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?

PS -The BIG type is because your eyes are shot at your age ;-)

I worked in a plant dumping asbestos from bags to make roofing material with only a dust mask back in the late 70's.

Honez · 02-20-2008, 07:29 PM

I have read this before. Always brings back some great memories for me. Riding bikes to my friends homes, coming home when the street lights came on, riding in the back on my grandpa's pickup truck etc. I remember when we only had three TV channels and they all signed off at night. The National Anthem would play and then the test pattern would be on the screen until the morning.

Those were the days.

Did it have valves at the back I can always remember light coming from the back of my parents hifi coffin and always wonderd what it was..lol It was also huge made from wood and had legs with a cuboard underneath the record player where you could keep all the LPs
We also had a very tiny black and white tv

Mutt · 02-20-2008, 10:43 PM

i wouldn't trade my 60s/70s childhood for anything - actually i would and that would be for the 40s/50s - hell i'd go back to the 30's when my Dad was a kid, it sounded simple and great.

kids today are over protected, over parented and under disciplined ironically.

Mutt · 02-20-2008, 10:48 PM

we didnt get a color TV until I was 5, my grandparents got one before we did and the first time I saw it i was utterly stunned, cartoons in color - it was like the greatest acid trip ever.

thanks for posting that Curious Toy Boy. I done all that stuff and I am still here. Makes me wonder.

ADL Colin · 02-21-2008, 04:20 AM

nice post. yeah my mom carried me home from the hospital in her arms in the car. She'd be arrested for that today.

campimp · 02-21-2008, 05:33 AM

haha, good times being a kid of the 70s for sure.

the best points >

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. And we were O.K.

kids today are definitely too protected... let the little ones make their own mistakes, its the only way to learn

Nydahl · 02-21-2008, 05:44 AM

I don't think i'd want to be born in the 30's with the great depression and all but being born in the 40s/50s would of been cool because you would of been of age to see the 60s go down. Either way i am glad i was born when i was. With the internet i've never had to work a real job pretty much my entire life. I only wish i was maybe a few years older so i could of registered a shitload of domains in 94 and be retired right now.

rip raster · 02-21-2008, 06:55 AM

Awesome so true to all of those things, simpler times for sure. With the internet, tv, and cell phones it has really made the world a smaller place. everything is at your fingertips so to speak. In the past if you needed information on a certain subject you would most likely have to go to the library, now you just "GOOGLE IT" The whole world is available to explore without ever having to leave your house.

These forms of communication have given us the opportunity to acquire a seemingly endless amount of knowledge. Although as a society it has probably made us more lazy as well. I often wonder what I would do if there was no internet and I am not talking solely about work. I use the internet for many other things such as searching for phone #'s, directions, etc. Even if I wasn't working online I would probably still use the internet daily for one reason or another.

Net Money · 02-21-2008, 06:58 AM

Great post mate

I'm a product of the early 60's myself

As did my parents.

It was a huge Telefunken cabinet unit - turntable at one end and a radio in the other. 6 speakers (if I remember). The radio had ivory-looking piano keys for tuning and a flywheel knob.

cherrylula · 02-21-2008, 08:39 AM

I live in the south. Aside from the internet and playstations, not much has changed here.

We NEVER said snow sucked and mastered the game of street hockey.

Walrus · 02-21-2008, 10:29 AM

Thanks for posting that CTB. I really enjoyed that.

How do kids find their friends nowadays? I remember riding my bike and just finding someone to play with. It was pretty amazing in the neighborhood I grew up in. There was always something to do. I often wonder how I missed so many music videos on MTV in the 80s when I see them on Classic VH1. And then I have to remind myself I was out playing all the time.

WebairGerard · 02-21-2008, 10:32 AM

Cool one, thanks CTB

OY · 02-21-2008, 10:55 AM

So true! Good memories!

One that popped up in my mind was one of my first summer jobs cleaning out barrels of old chemicals - Think I made like $10 a barrel and managed to clean out about 12-14 a day. Do not remember wearing a mask but do remember having a smell old time.

OMG Jim · 02-21-2008, 11:13 AM

Excellent thread and so true Lindsay, no matter where it came from.

I can honestly say I think that the 60's and 70's were two of the best decades for anyone to grow up in especially in the U.S.

I went to elementary school in the 69's and started high school in 1971 then graduated college in 1979. To this day my three kids and all their friends say they wished that they had grown up during that same period.

Not Good Times.... GREAT TIMES!

The PAST - Plenty of GOOD Choices
The PRESENT - Too Many BAD Choices

The Biggest LOSS... Our Freedoms & People's Accountability for their Choices

2012 · 02-21-2008, 11:28 AM

thats a great post

stickyfingerz · 02-21-2008, 11:32 AM

Yup 70's were great times. My buddy Mark Wills has a song that nails me to a T. Mark is within 5 months or so of me in age if I recall right.

Mark Wills 19 something.

I saw Star Wars at least 8 times
Had the pac-man pattern memorized
And I've seen the stuff they put inside
Stretch Armstrong

I was Roger Stauback back in my back yard
Had a shoebox full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evil Kinevil scars
On my right arm
Well, I was a kid when Elvis died
And my mama cried

Chorus:
It was 1970- something
In the world that I grew up in
Farrah Faucett hair-do days
Bell bottoms and 8-track tapes
Lookin' back now I can see me
And oh, man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1970-something

It was the dawning of a new decade
When we got our first microwave
And Dad broke down and finally shaved
them old sideburns off
I took the stickers off of my Rubix cube
Watched MTV all afternoon
My first love was Daisy Duke
In them cut off jeans
A Space Shuttle fell out of the sky
And the whole world cried

Chorus:
It was 1980-something
In the world that I grew up in
Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams
Big hair and parachute pants
Lookin' back now I can see me
And oh, man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1980-something

Now I got a mortgage and an SUV
But all this responsibility
Makes me wish sometimes
Sometimes....

chorus:
It was 1980-something
In the world that I grew up in
Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams
Big hair and parachute pants
Lookin' back now I can see me
And oh, man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1980-something

1970-something
Aw, it was 19-Something

No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K. kids today are definitely too protected... let the little ones make their own mistakes, its the only way to learn

With the internet, tv, and cell phones it has really made the world a smaller place. everything is at your fingertips so to speak. In the past if you needed information on a certain subject you would most likely have to go to the library, now you just "GOOGLE IT" The whole world is available to explore without ever having to leave your house. These forms of communication have given us the opportunity to acquire a seemingly endless amount of knowledge. Although as a society it has probably made us more lazy as well. I often wonder what I would do if there was no internet and I am not talking solely about work. I use the internet for many other things such as searching for phone #'s, directions, etc. Even if I wasn't working online I would probably still use the internet daily for one reason or another.

Walrus Confirmed User Join Date: May 2005 Location: USA Posts: 2,150	Thanks for posting that CTB. I really enjoyed that. How do kids find their friends nowadays? I remember riding my bike and just finding someone to play with. It was pretty amazing in the neighborhood I grew up in. There was always something to do. I often wonder how I missed so many music videos on MTV in the 80s when I see them on Classic VH1. And then I have to remind myself I was out playing all the time.

One that popped up in my mind was one of my first summer jobs cleaning out barrels of old chemicals - Think I made like $10 a barrel and managed to clean out about 12-14 a day. Do not remember wearing a mask but do remember having a smell old time. __________________ Around since 1997, and the company that introduced "Cascading Billing" in MPA3® Affiliate Management and Tracking Software Outsourcing With A Norwegian Twist - NordBits - Inquire within!

OMG Jim Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Atlanta Posts: 3,153	Excellent thread and so true Lindsay, no matter where it came from. I can honestly say I think that the 60's and 70's were two of the best decades for anyone to grow up in especially in the U.S. I went to elementary school in the 69's and started high school in 1971 then graduated college in 1979. To this day my three kids and all their friends say they wished that they had grown up during that same period. Not Good Times.... GREAT TIMES!

Mark is within 5 months or so of me in age if I recall right. Mark Wills 19 something. I saw Star Wars at least 8 times Had the pac-man pattern memorized And I've seen the stuff they put inside Stretch Armstrong I was Roger Stauback back in my back yard Had a shoebox full of baseball cards And a couple of Evil Kinevil scars On my right arm Well, I was a kid when Elvis died And my mama cried Chorus: It was 1970- something In the world that I grew up in Farrah Faucett hair-do days Bell bottoms and 8-track tapes Lookin' back now I can see me And oh, man did I look cheesy But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' It was 1970-something It was the dawning of a new decade When we got our first microwave And Dad broke down and finally shaved them old sideburns off I took the stickers off of my Rubix cube Watched MTV all afternoon My first love was Daisy Duke In them cut off jeans A Space Shuttle fell out of the sky And the whole world cried Chorus: It was 1980-something In the world that I grew up in Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams Big hair and parachute pants Lookin' back now I can see me And oh, man did I look cheesy But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' It was 1980-something Now I got a mortgage and an SUV But all this responsibility Makes me wish sometimes Sometimes.... chorus: It was 1980-something In the world that I grew up in Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams Big hair and parachute pants Lookin' back now I can see me And oh, man did I look cheesy But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' It was 1980-something 1970-something Aw, it was 19-Something
