I miss......

of course mom, dad and friends who left this earth to young

playing outside with my friends when I was young and it was dark too

toys and dolls made in the USA without lead poison or cheap crap

going to the candy store with a few cents and buying lots of stuff

Alaskan I think the drug store counters were the best, especially a burger with an ice cream soda

Those were the good old days and they no longer exist. What a shame!

I miss my Dad, we were like best friends but I never really knew how much him being gone would affect my life. I've realized almost everything i do for fun he introduced me to it and we shared those experiances and in some instances i only enjoyed those things because he was there and I don't enjoy them anymore. It's just part of life.

I miss feeling safer....
As a young girl I could take long walks alone and not be afraid.....
Not a good idea when my daughter was young,
Certainly not a good idea for my granddaughter now....

I used to be a little short for my weight too. One of my co-workers was a gentleman about 50 years my senior,with a perpetual twinkle in his eye.

Every morning he would greet me with " so round,so firm,so fully packed. A real woman". His wife was pretty fluffy too!

I miss him. He had a way of letting you know that you didn't need to be a stick thin model to be a real woman.

I miss alot of the above also.
And I miss when people looked out for each other, with no pretense or expectation of personal gain.

I miss when there were more jobs than people to fill them.
As to the cigarette thing, when I was first sneaking them behind the Jr High they were $.25 a pack.
McDonalds hamburgers were $.10 and a huge banana split at Woolworth's was $.25.

I DO NOT miss no air conditioning in cars or homes.

I miss sitting on the front porch after dinner, saying hi to people walking down the street and having them say hi in return.

Last time I tried that it was teenagers out walking. I got a response, but it wasn't 'hi'.

I miss kids having manners!

Well, I kinda miss my young body, but I don't miss my young mind so maybe there's a trade off there.

Hmm, I think we are in a time warp. The local diner makes a to die for chocolate malted, there's still an ice cream truck in the neighborhood. Fresh bread is baked several times a week. We can walk in the neighborhood and drop in to visit with the neighbors. Of course, we are very rural.

I do kinda miss living on my boat, but it's kinda nice living in a house where there is more room. Better gardens with houses than boats. I dunno, it seems as soon as we miss something, there's something else to replace it with.
