Hilarious.
Reminds me of once a couple of years ago my left eye was irritated for a couple of days straight. I make furniture for a living so sawdust in my eyes is a common thing and I kept fishing around trying to remove whatever it was. On the second or third day I finally noticed an eyebrow hair had curved down and was poking me in the eye
One snip and problem was solved.
I remember thinking at the time, " I have become my grandpa, well fuck me."
But like grandma used to say, growing old sucks but it beats the alternative.

I remember riding in the back of a pickup truck and seat belts in cars were optional.
The y must have predicted texting and driving in the future

Well if you have a old car with no belts in my area you still don't need em... even if someone's texting and driving they could hit your 64 caddy and unless they were in a cement mixer you are laughing

When you find yourself telling someone how great manual chokes were.

Or about how disappointed you were when your family got a color TV, but most of the shows were still in black and white.

My dad was 'ahead of the times'. In '59-'61, he had blue prints for a bomb shelter for our back yard. We wish that came to fruition- a new fort vs. digging a hole and placing left over Xmas tress (still with straggling stringy ice cycle strands) for our 'frontier fort'.

In '62, he started selling those clip seat belts you bolt from behind the front seats. Remember going with him a few times to see the puzzling looks on people's faces..."Seat Belts????!!!"

Yep,we had an air raid shelter in our back garden. Still remember playing in it. It was a weird design , sort of double wall of bricks with a concrete slab on top.Not sure it was better than the house tbh. Lot of houses near us were hit by stray German bombs meant for the Docks. They had like cracks down the gable walls and stuff. Wow im so old I can remember that :comfort:
