#MeToo

🤔 was it?

I remember the world before the internet, before CDs, before cassette tapes took the place of vinyl records... it WAS a great place.

I remember a world with only three TV channels that all stopped broadcasting at midnight. Oh, and no remote controls.

What did you like to do as a young kiddo?

I barely do. I'm 36. By the 8th grade most of my friends had cell phones. As a littler kid though, it was all about knocking on your friends door and seeing if they could come out to play- and that was the most special. In the 5th grade my "boyfriend" would call the house phone to talk to me on the phone after school. I did spend a lot of time watching TV as a kid- always on while I did homework. I think that cell phones replaced TV for a lot of us... and then of course there was AOL instant messenger...

I can only imagine how it might be been to grow up with less technology to distract

I remember the world before cell phones and it was a great world.

@freepatriot Check out an Orthodox church if you have one nearby. Hopefully you will feel what I felt going to one.

Climb trees

Play in sandboxes

Ride bikes

Play dress-up

Have dancing contests in the basement (when my sis and were 10 & 11 "Thriller" came out, also loved Solid Gold, Soul Train, and American Band Stand)

Roller skate in the driveway or on the unfinished basement cement floor

Play house or pretend school/work (one of always wanted to be the teacher or the mom)

Pretend I made magazines and make up little pages and cut things up to glue together

Play 45s or cassettes, record songs off the radio onto tapes with a standalone tape recorder laid next to the radio

Sell Girl Scout cookies door-to-door in our neighborhood/go to Girl Scout camp and troop meetings doing things to earn badges

Go camp at the lake with our parents in a pop-up camper and swim almost the whole weekend

Learn to do stuff in the kitchen or around the house, like food prep, setting table, doing the dishes, making the bed, helping dad rake the leaves or weed the landscaping

Volunteering with my mom at events

#Cuba without cellphones and internet was worse but we didn’t notice it thanks to censorship

The gargoyles will pull faces at you from the rooftop

I'm thinking about going back to church for the first time in 20 years.

Bruh the fact that you supressed this means you where never able to move beyond it.

Maybe crime is at an all time high because everything is illegal.
