i've decided to put out this topic for some fun after i posted at the simon and garfunkel topic.. anything you want to say on whatever subject: music, movies, life, work, what did our generaton contribute to society, family, grandchildren, your body now heading south, baldness, acceptance of ourselves and shortcomings, more tolerant (or too tired to care?)..
i feel our generation has contributed greatly to medical advances i.e.
replacing worn out joints, etc.
Hi elsewhere!
I bought the Truth book in ' 68, but didn't start studying until ' 70 and then baptized in ' 71. I took no other literature during that time as I was busy w/my baby. Wasn't aware of their feelings about college then. Thanks for your post. juni :)

Dearest Mulan,
Thanks again for your comforting words to me because of our Coach's passing.
Yep, my grandmother also used gelatin and flavoring to make her own "jello". Don't remember Rocky Jones, Space Ranger. We're the space cadets remember? Leaky brain cells and all! hee hee Definitely remember Gunsmoke. And Wagon Train, Have Gun-Will Travel, Maverick. Oh yeah. Sky King and his niece Penny. Loved her ponytail! Zorro? Lone Ranger and Tonto? (key mo sobbie) Could go on and on. Thanks for your memories. juni :)

Dearest FlyingHighNow,
I still remember we both want to be birds in our next lifetime! hee hee hee
I was a mom at 19 in 1968. Our son was born that year. I do remember the prices as you said. TRUTH book was .25. Paid for it in pennies. Yeah and double feature movies!! And balcony seats. Skate keys worn on string around your neck. Transistor radios (my bro got one for Christmas), Davey Jones and the Monkees, yep. The British invasion of music. True penny candy. Diaries. Simple stuff to keep ya happy!
Thanks for the memories. juni (bird)

Again Prophecor - Disco? Love the BEEGEES, but hated diso per se. Had the hiphugger bellbottoms and minis. Do you know the new name for the hiphugger pants the girls wear now? Muffin pants. Take notice. The girls' waist lines bulge out and look like a muffin top. I will say something here though. Maybe not all of you will agree, but we were satisfied with a lot less than our kids' generation. Our kids have far more materially than we did. I still haven't caught up!! So each generation has their own downfall if you want to call it that. We just keep on botchin up.

Heh Balsam!
Very true about AIDS. Remember bad girls=sluts, skags bad boys=hoods (atleast in the Midwest). I do remember cruising and hanging out of the windows yelling at the sailors on leave. We had diners where you could go and order Coke and fries or just a Coke and stay there all night w/o getting kicked out. Also, table juke boxes and the full size kind too. Cig. machines .35 pack. Yep and the music - Jefferson Airplane (Grace Slick). The Stones. Aretha R E S P E C T. When a Man Loves a Woman (the original, not M. Bolton). Etc. Thanks for the memories. juni :)

Heh Prophecor,
You are right - baby boomers do encompass '45-' 60. I was born in '49. I've got 10+ yrs. on ya and stuff changes fast. You no doubt had things as a kid that I never dreamed of. I see things in antique stores that I had or was used when I was growing up. I.E. My daughter didn't know what a hand potato masher looked like. Hair blowers, curling irons? NONE. You make very good points.
Also. the Mustang! Isn't that something? I drive a ' 95 Mustang convertible, 5 speed. She's my baby. So reliable. Last of the 5.0 engines! Thanks for the pics. juni
i had mentioned that i was raised in a jw family and we got to talking.. quite an interesting exchange of information.
when i brought up the pedophile problem in the jw's and the lack of action to make changes to protect the children, he told me that the pentacostal religious leaders required that each church and the preacher in charge had to have insurance and how expensive it was.. also that the insurance companies required certain things be changed and followed.
all the rooms that would be used for or by children had to have glass doors.
I know what you were getting at. Atleast they are proactive and cover their butts. WT ignores and denies when allegations come up. The pompous jerks.
here is the original one:.
here is a blank one for you to add a caption to:.

Agree w/Dan the Man. Being responsible, but crazy religion! juni
