Well shoot I am old, and I’m good with it.
Very glad to have grown up when I did, I was exposed to some of the greatest moments in this country.
Kids growing up today are screwed, they have been sold out and used by every aspect of society and culture, and unfortunately as evidence by the “trans” psychosis thier parents.

Kids today are truly disposable in all aspects of culture and society, if they don’t adhere to thier basest of instincts they are ridiculed and excluded.
Disaffection, depression and prescription “drug treatments” are being created on purpose for these kids to keep them malleable and programmable.

Dark times ahead for these youngster.

Agreed. Add 3 years to these numbers. We’re even older.

“The TV show Bonanza premiered 60 yrs. ago.”


When I was in 1st grade, Loren Green, dressed in his cowboy Bonanza grab, came into our classroom to talk about the show and how dangerous blank cartridges were.

He then held up a newspaper, took his ‘six-shooter’ from his holster and blew a hole in the paper — bits of paper went everywhere...then he went to the next classroom.

I’m thinking’ this isn’t done in schools anymore.

Things that make me feel old:

Toni Basil will turn 80 in September.

The Kinks released, "Come Dancing," in 1982. Ray Davies sang about memories of his sister when he was a young teen and I was 13 when the song came out. It made me wonder what kind of memories I would have of my teen years when I got old. I'm now almost two decades older than Davies was when he released the song.

When I was born, no man had ever set foot on the moon.

When my dad was born, the last Civil War general (Aldrich Ames) was still alive.

Apparently I’m related to Dan Blocker. He was a bit of a drunk.

I never smoked, but I had friend who was upset that cigarettes went from 60 cents a pack to 75 cents a pack. He vowed to quit if cigarettes ever got to $1 a pack.

He didn’t.
