[ChinaSeaSailor]

Dodging bullets in the jungle while protesters were riding their flower painted buses and marching in the street calling me a war monger and I was not EVEN old enough to vote!!!

1. Castor Oil (The old yellow kind) My Mother thought that this was a cure for everything.
2. Girls that were stronger, tougher, and could run faster than me.
3. Being the last pick in a game.
4. Getting beat up by a Girl and carrying that reputation FOREVER!

Saturday mornings as a youngster. While my friends were either sleeping-in or watching cartoons. I had to get up early and go to Catechism. Dealing with wicked nun with the painful yardstick putting the fear of going blind to the entire class. Nothing was a terrible though as being forced to go to confession and getting Father Smith.

I don't miss being the only kid I knew from school that milked, or put up hay.

I don't miss growing up in a household where the belief was pistols were only good for killing people. I miss a lot of other things about my upbringing but not that. [We were a rifle and shotgun family.]

I don't miss points and condensers being changed every 10,000 miles on the car.

I don't miss the flat tires that happened so often with older tires. I don't miss retreads either and those may be related.

I don't miss the ideas of ethnic food being eaten two or three times a year. It was canned tamales and LaChoy chow mein.

I don't miss the days of legally being able to take 7 Geese a year and being issued tags for each.

I don't miss flood irrigating. Pivots and wheel lines are where it is at even if I don't make my living that way.

I don't miss every item being in a glass bottle that if it broke you were lost. Milk to mayo to not being able to squeeze a Catsup bottle, all work better in plastic IMO.

 

[dnonac]

I don't miss "WORK" and all the things associated with it; commuting, office politics, meetings, etc!
Retired in 2007 and now I couldn't find an extra 8 hours a day to work even if I needed to!
I also don't miss sunburns (from when I was young and stupid) and hangovers (from the same period).
