**********************Things ain't what they use to be ******************
***********************************Remember ****************************
*** Sittin' on the porch .
*** Simon says, "Kick the can."
*** Red light , green light .
*** Penny candy from the corner store .
*** Hopscotch , butterscotch and skates with keys .
*** Jacks , kickball and dodge ball .
*** Mother , may I ?
*** Hula hoops .
*** Coke bottles with the names of cities on the bottom .
*** Catching lightning bugs in a jar .
*** Playing slingshot .
*** Laughing so hard your stomach hurts .
*** When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up .
*** When nobody owned a purebred dog .
*** When a quarter was a decent allowance and another quarter was a huge bonus.
*** When you got your windshield cleaned , oil checked and gas pumped .
*** When they threatened to keep kids back a gradwe if they failed ... and did !
*** When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home .
*** When a '57 Chevy was everyone's dream car to cruise the strip , peel out , lay rubber , or watch submarine races .
*** When people went steady and girls wore a class ring with an inch of dental floss coated with pastel frosted nail polish so that it would fit her finger .
**********************************************************************
*** Life is like a roll of toliet paper ... the closer it gets to the end ... the faster it goes .
**********************************************************************
*** A day of worry burns more energy that a week's work .
**********************************************************************
*** Life is like an ice cream cone . You get it licked on one side , it runs down the other side .
**********************************************************************
*** If we will learn to laugh at ourselves , we will find something to make us happy .
**********************************************************************
*** Don't suppress laughter ; it will go down inside and spread out your hips .
Nothing like a stroll down memory lane.Very nice.
