Picking apart one of those Dumb Back in My Day lists.

Posted by Zman

You've seen them in your inbox. Those back in my day lists that tell you how much "better" things were thirty some odd years ago. Well I thought I'd take one of these lists and pick it apart to show just how silly they really are. My responses to the list are in quotes after each item.


If you are 36, or older, you might think this is hilarious!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... Barefoot... BOTH ways...yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!



But now that I'm over the ripe old age of forty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. They've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, They live in a virtual Utopia! And I hate to say it, but the kids today, don't know how good they 've got it!


1) I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!

"Someone obviously has a problem with being able to quickly look things up. Maybe the person who wrote this enjoys the old way but most of us like the fact that we can instantly look things up. Not sure why this person thinks this is a bad thing."

2) There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox, and it would take like a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents!

"I guess this person did not have access to a phone. I can remember sense I was pretty little and I'm forty two that we had access to phones in our house. so no you did not need to send a letter. And if you did send a letter, it took a couple days to get there. 36 years ago we were using an inventions called trucks and air planes to get mail around much like today. We were no longer using the pony express."

3) Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our behinds! Nowhere was safe!

"Yes because that was so much better. I guess this person sees nothing worn with child abuse?"

4) There were no MP3's or Napsters or iTunes! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself!

"So, what's this persons point, and I tunes is not stealing. I tunes is a legal downloading site. This person really has a problem with modern technology."

5) Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio, and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished, and then the tape would come undone rendering it useless. Cause, hey, that's how we rolled, Baby! Dig?

"because being able to have CD's that last a long time is such a horrible advancement. Look technology advances get over it already."

6) We didn't have fancy stuff like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that's it!

"Because getting stuck not being able to get a hold of someone in an emergency was so much better."

7) There weren't any cell phones either. If you left the house, you just didn't make a call or receive one. You actually had to be out of touch with your "friends". OH MY GOSH !!! Think of the horror... not being in touch with someone 24/7!!! And then there's TEXTING. Yeah, right. Please!

You kids have no idea how annoying you are.


"Maybe not but we have a pretty good idea how annoying you are. and why is being able to get in touch with someone 24/7 a bad thing. Maybe you liked the day when you could not reach someone in an emergency but I kind of like the ability to do that. So how is this a bad thing. It's also not just kids using this technology. Mostt adults use it too. Get out of the rock your under and you might realize this."

8) And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your parents, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, the collection agent... you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!


"What is wrong with knowing who called?"

9) We didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your screen guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen.. Forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!


"Video game technology advances like everything else, Go play your Arari 2066. I'll keep the great graffics of my x box."

10) You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your butt and walk over to the TV to change the channel!!! NO REMOTES!!! Oh, no, what's the world coming to?!?!


It's called progress, get over it." I used to read the old TV guide cover to cover but those days are over, get over it."

11) There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying? We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons!

"Actually many TV stations ran cartoons during the week in the afternoons when you got out of school. Sounds like someone is using a little selective memory. Plus everyone nows the good cartoons are on Boomering not Cartoon Network."

12) And we didn't have microwaves. If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove! Imagine that!

"And you can still use the stove it you want. No one is stopping you."



13) And our parents told us to stay outside and play... all day long. Oh, no, no electronics to soothe and comfort. And if you came back inside... you were doing chores!


"My parents never told us that." Maybe your parents realized how annoying you were and that's why they made you stay outside."


And car seats - oh, please! Mom threw you in the back seat and you hung on. If you were lucky, you got the "safety arm" across the chest at the last moment if she had to stop suddenly, and if your head hit the dashboard, well that was your fault for calling "shot gun" in the first place!

"Because the brain damage people received at the time was so much better. Probably explains why this person wrote this drivel. Brain damage could be the only explanation for writing this. and by the way, We did have car seats and wear our seat belts back then. I'm 42 and can always remember wearing a seat belt.


See! That's exactly what I'm talking about! the kids today have got it too easy. They're spoiled rotten! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1970 or any time before!

Regards,
The Over 40 Crowd

"I can't think of anyone I know over forty who think like this. The person tho wrote this obiously has a problem with the fact that older is not better and I'm gguessing this person is well over forty."

My take on the "We Want a Cure for Tourette Syndrome posts on Facebook.

Posted by Zman

No doubt by now you have seen the Tourette Syndrome posts on Facebook. If you have not, I'll describe it to you. It is a picture of a green T shirt with the words, "We want a cure for Tourette Syndrome, When do we want it, C@#t" I won't type the full word but you get the idea. Basically it pokes fun at the uncontrollable swearing part of Tourette Synbdrome.

Now as someone who has Tourette Syndrome I'd like to point out that the swearing, or coprolalia is the rarest form of Tourette Syndrome but unfortunately gets the most publicity. Tourette Syndrome is a disorder effecting the nervous system that causes involuntary movements and sounds called tics. These take many forms. Now I do have involuntary vocalizations. Anyone who works with me has seen me walking around appearing to talk to myself. Now my co workers know I'm just blurting out random words and phrases. I do it at a whisper so you'd have to be standing almost next to me to hear it. I've been able to control the volume but of course can't control the vocalizations but I do not have the swearing problem. As I said, that part is very rare.

Along with the tics Tourette Syndrome can come along with other problems like OCD (obsessive Compulsive Disorder, ADHD, ADD,anxiety, depression, and other problems so it is more than just a swearing disease and should not be taken lightly. I wonder if the people posting this to Facebook would also post similar comments about other diseases and disorders like cancer or mental illness. I'm guessing probably not. They'd catch hell from most of their friends. Tourette Syndrome is no different. It should never be considered OK to poke fun at a disease or disorder It is no more appropriate to post these kinds of comments about Tourette Syndrome than it would be about any other disease or disorder. Those of us who live with Tourette Syndrome can tell you it is no picnic.

All this Facebook post shows is peoples ignorance, Instead of making fun of someones disorder or disability, why not take a few minutes and try to actually learn something about it.

Advice to parents on how silly you can look when holding on to the Apron Strings when your kids go off to collage.

Posted by Zman

Many of you might be getting ready to head off to collage this fall. Now for many this transiton will go smoothly. I’m not talking about just being on your own, I’m talking about the parents who have no trouble excepting the fact that their grwon children are moving on and will have their own lives. Many parents seem to make this transition well. However there are those that insist on holding on to the apron strings. They seem to think they can still tell their adult children how they can live while they are away at school. My parents fit in to this catagory. Now my parents are good people but they just had some issues with the apron strings when I left for collage.

A couple of the more silly examples of their attempts, First they tried to tell me what I could and could not buy with the money I made at my campus job. Really, they thought it was right to tell an adult who was twenty two a the time what he coud buy? I tried explaining to them on many occasions that is is rude to tell someone else how to spend the money they make themselves. They just never seemed to understand this fact. The real irritating part was they never tried this on my younger sisters. A point which I made to them several times. Of course never getting an answer so I found the best way to deal with this problem was just to smile and nod and do what I was going to do anyway. Telling your adult children how to spend the money they make themselves is just plain rude and bossy. You have no right as a partent to tell your adult child how to spend the money he makes. Period. Now if it is your parents money that is different but don’t let them tell you what you can and cannot buy wiht the money you make. Again, the best way to handle this is just to smile and nod. It’s your money like it or not there is nothing they can do about it as much as they might moan and complain. Another good way to handle the problem is to embarrass them. Tell all your relatives what your parents are doing. I did that too and that got them to knock it off.

Another amusing story, I paid my own phone bill on time every month. There was a family reunion that I was not able to attend back home. I aw sent a card signed by several people saying they were sorry they missed me. I called several people on the list thanking them for the card. My mom actaully called me at seven thirty in the morning telling me she did not like that I called people thankng them for the card and I’d better work more hours becaue I couldn’t afrord to make such calls and she’d make sure the phone was taken out of my dorm room if I kept doig that. I told her as long as I’m payaing my phone bill on time there realy is not a damn thing she can do about it and she has no idea what I can and cannot afford. After all I’m the one making my money, If I could not have afforded them I would not have made them. I don’t know what my mom was trying to accomplish by this but she made herself look kind of foolish and was another example to me and my friends that she was having a difficult time letting go of the apron strings. Again, the best way to handle things like this is just to smile and nod and do what you’re going to do. As long as you’re paying your bills with your money their is not anything your parents can do if they don’t like what you’re doing with the money you’re making. They may complain and while abou tit and make silly threats like mine did but they can’t do anything about it. Besides smiling and nodding another good way to handle them is to tell all your relatives about their behaviour. That tends to make them less likely to pull stuff like this if they know you’re going to tell everyone about it. Again most parents won’t have a problem with the apron strings but some will and you have to know how to deal with them.

and Parents, you have to let your adult children be adults and not meddle in their business. If they are paying their own bills and earning their own money you have to mind your own business. Otherwise your children might resent you and lose some respect. Eccept that they are going to do some things you’re not going to like but you still have no right to tell them how to spend or handle the money they make themselves. That’s just the way it is and you just have to deal with it. Tellng your child how to spend his own money will not teach him any financial responsibility and looks very stupid when you only treat one child this way and not the others. Trust me that really make you as a parent look foolish and your child will probably just ignore you anyway as they should. If they are spending your money that is different but you have no right to tell them how to spend the money they make themselves.

Now I do have other apron string stories but those two are the most blatent examples of my parents and the apron sting battles.

Talk to you later and have a good time at collage.

NOAA RADIOS!

Do you have a NOAA weather radio? They are just as important as smoke detectors. They save lives. I bought my Grandpa one the year of the Utica tornado. He was a WWII vet and not new technology happy. He loved knowing he could hit a button on his radio like a snooze button and hear the latest changes in weather. I showed him how to put his SAME code in so he received only watches and warnings for his town. He was hard of hearing and loved that he could hear the alarm when bad weather came to his town in Kansas. For 19.00 plus the cost of backup batteries, this can save your life or the life of those you love. I have no monetary connection to the manufacturers of the radios. First alert, Midland (my fav) and others. They can be found at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Target, etc.

Some in Iowa want to vote for discrimination

posted by Z-man

There is a bill in the Iowa House to repeal civil unions and same sex marriage. Here's one young mans response to this bill on the floor of the Iowa House.

Zach Wahls, a 19-year-old University of Iowa student spoke about the strength of his family during a public forum on House Joint Resolution 6 in the Iowa House of Representatives. Wahls has two mothers, and came to oppose House Joint Resolution 6 which would end civil unions in Iowa.





I'm very proud of this young man. His moms must be very proud. I just don't get why some people want to vote for discrimination. All Americans gay or straight deserve the same rights and that includes marriage. Marriage is a civil right. You can go down to the court house and get married without even involving a church. If Steve Marrying Al or Susan marrying Alice bothers you that much than YOU have the problem. Contrary to what the far right wants you to velieve same sex marriage will not in anyway effect the institution of marriage. In the countries and states that have same sex marriage and civil unions there is not proof of any negative effects on marriage. Yet the far right keeps spreading their miss information. I guess they figure if they say it enough times it will become true. Sorry, does not work that way. This is one of the many reasons church and state need to be separate. So discriminatory legislation such as this does not even come up.

Mortgage Help can turn in to Disaster

Hello, it's Z-Man. Hope to do another podcast this weekend but in the meantime I thought I'd share an article I found very interesting. If you're one of the millions of people in the U S who applied for assistance through President Obama's home loan modification program and have received temporary approval you may owe back payments if you are denied permanent status. Also the credit companies count your reduces payments under the temporary status as being delinquent even though it was approved by your mortgage company so it still has a negative impact on your credit score. Also, most people who apply are not granted permanent status.

More info below

The Right to Protest Applies to all U S citizens, Not just the ones you agree with

Hello, been a long time sense I've blogged but I had to add my two cents to the issue of should protests at military funerals be banned debate. You have probably heard by now that Fred Phelps and his Westburo Baptist Church based in Topeka Kansas makes a habit of protesting military funerals. They claim that solders deaths are gods punishment for the U S supporting homosexuality. In my opinion the WBC are the most hateful vile individuals in this country. Worse than the KKK and other hate organizations. They twist religion and use it to promote their homophobia. Many are upset that this group dares to protest the funerals of our fallen men and women. Many think these protests should be banned. While I agree that protesting a funeral is one of the most disrespectful things one can do especially for the reason this group is doing so, the fact is they have a Constitutional right to peacefully assemble. this right applies to all U S citizens. even groups you don't like or agree with. The supreme court is not in the job of making decisions based on public opinion. They base decisions on weather they are Constitutional. If they based their decisions on what was popular, we might still have segregation in parts of the U S, the right for a woman to get an abortion may not be legal. It is not their job to rule in the favor of public opinion. They have to rule on weather something is constitutional. It may not be popular but it is the law. The law says they have a right to protest at funerals and as long as they don't create a disturbance and keep it peaceful, they have a right to do so. We don't get to pick which U S citizens get to protest and which ones don't. The law applies to all groups weather we like them or not. As I said, I think Fred Phelps is probably the most vile man in the U S but as a U S citizen even he has rights weather we like it or not. If you start taking away the rights of groups you don't like or agree with, pretty soon you may find your rights taken away as well.

HELP

this is gonna sound weird. Is there any organization who can help those with huge medical bills provide any relief other than bankruptcy? We had insurance when Keith had cornea transplant and we still owe just less than 20K to UIC. Keith lost his fulltime job and I just got a new FT job after being unemployed for too long. Walmart refuses to give him FT. He has been trying to obtain SSI to supplement his income. My part time job said I could no longer work there because I work all weekend at new job. I hate even saying this word. Donations Can be made to littleflurry@yahoo.com thru paypal. I know there are many others out there in worse shape than us. The word foreclosure is coming up from our bank. STRESSED!

The War on Christmas nuts have surfaced in my area.

Posted by Z-Man

I was reading the local paper today (the La Salle tribune) and came across this gem. In the letter the writer claims the usual war on Christmas line. She says atheists are attacking Christmas by "removing nativity scenes, taking down crosses, and in one school celebrating Christmas has been banned." I'm guessing that she is talking about the removal of religious symbols from government and public property. When the writer fails to realize is that religious symbols are not allowed on public property due to the separation of church and state clause of the constitution. As far as removal of nativity scenes. I see all kinds of them up and down my block, on private property which is where religious displays belong I also see plenty of crosses and other Christmas decorations and they are very pretty. But they do not belong on public property. I'm even gong to question weather Christmas should be a federal holiday. I mean it is at it's heart the celebration of what Christians believe to be the birth of Christ. I know the courts have ruled that it has enough secular meaning to be considered a federal holiday but as was pointed out to me last year by a relative who did not like a blog post I wrote about what Christmas means to me on my mysapce page, Paraphrasing now, if it were not for the birth of Christ we would not have the holiday." That being said then should it really even be a federal holiday. Sounds to me like it violates the separation of Church and state.

Also, the letter writer talks about how atheists are trying to destroy Christmas. On the contrary. Most atheists and agnostics like myself are not trying to ban or otherwise destry Christmas. We just don't think it should be displayed on government or public property. Most of us take a live and let live approach. I and most people who question weather the god of organized religion actually exists respect others beliefs. We just don't want them shoved down our throats. As far as her claims of, "Why attack something you don't believe in." Again, no one is attacking her beliefs or her practicing her beliefs. She has the right to believe what she wants and practice her religion how she wants. What we are against is the display of religious symbols on public property. Keep the religious symbols on private property where they belong. Not on government property.

Failure

I am happy about finding a job. But I feel like we r the kids who keep flunking senior year.
Everyone around us is progressing and growing and making way more than we are & we are back to just above minimum wage, again. My sister & her husband have a huge business, Our friends are making excellent money, they are doing really good & it's great. But here we are, feeling like teenagers barely making 18k year. It's so stressful! I feel like we'll never get to travel or see anything besides La Salle IL. It's depressing. It makes me feel like we can't do anything right.

sick 100 degree temp and jilted

Have you every asked a (close friend) friend to do something for you because you were sick? I did. And now I wish I had not. But if they were sick and needed my help, I'd be there to do anything to help. It would never be an issue. Now it will never be an issue because I won't ask for help again. Sometimes being the only person in the house that can drive is difficult as all the pressure is on me. There are cabs and I'll fork over the 8.00 it costs for a one way ride if I am sick with a temperature and it's not healthy to be outside. So now because I was awake 38 mins after they left, I've been made to feel like crap for asking. What kind of friend does that?????

THE SHOPPING TRIP

A woman was in town on a shopping trip. She found the most perfect shoes in the first shop,and a beautiful dress in the second. In the third everything had just been reduced 50 percent, when her mobile phone rang.

It was a female doctor notifying her that her husband had just been in a terrible car accident and was in a critical condition and was in the ICU. The woman told the doctor to tell her husband that she'd be there as soon as possible. When she hung up she realized she was leaving what was shaping up to be her best day ever shopping in these boutiques, so she decided to just look in two or three more before heading to the hospital.

Anyhow she ended up shopping the rest of the morning, finishing her trip with a cup of coffee and a beautiful chocolate cake compliments of the last shop. She was jubilant. Then she remembered her husband. Feeling guilty, she dashed to the hospital. She saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about her husband's condition. The lady doctor glared at her and shouted, 'You went ahead and finished your shopping trip didn't you! I hope you're proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself shopping, your husband has been languishing in the Intensive Care Unit! It's just as well you went ahead and finished, because it's likely be the last shopping trip you will ever make!

For the rest of his life he will require round the clock care. And he will now be your responsibility!'

The woman felt so guilty she broke down and cried.

The lady doctor then laughed and said, 'I'm just pulling your leg. He's dead. Show me what you bought.'
