That didn't happen until 1966. In 1965, there was one color program, a western called "The Virginian".</p> <p>Also, I was at the library about 10 years ago when a kid asked what time it was and the librarian pointed to the clock. And the kid said "Please help me. I don't read analog..." I nearly wet my pants !!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/659#post-10345 Tue, 02 Oct 2007 03:56:07 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 10345@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Too funny, loved all the comments after reading the 1980's... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/659#post-10343 Tue, 02 Oct 2007 03:25:04 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 10343@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Aren't Aunties meant to be like that, fun and a bit naughty?

I get the compliment from many people, especially the older ones I work with, at being "so mature" for my age. That there should be more like me 'cause you hardly ever find anyone my age with the same work ethic and "maturity" ... yet my maturity consists of acting like I'm 2 years old sometime just so I can stay sane when things start driving me nuts!!! haha!</p> <p>Wait ... I got off subject. As always... lol </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/659#post-10080 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 15:09:58 +0000 Tigger 10080@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Aaahhh,NorthernLily;don't feel hurt,just messin' wi'cha!<br /> Actually,I look around me these days and for the most part have to say,"The kids are alright!" S'matter of fact,some of them are downright upright and wiser than a lot of 45-50 year olds I see,(lots of them casualties of the so-called 'permissive' era,circa'68-'81.)So don't let any of us middle age codgers fool 'ya,sister!

I flatly refuse to 'grow up', and hubby and I have pledged to grow old DISgracefully. By the way, I made sure the kids knew how to survive the 'old' way and sent them to Guides (Girl Scouts) to learn how to be self reliant etc. It stood them in good stead at Uni and will continue to throughout their lives. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/659#post-10065 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 14:38:23 +0000 3 kits staff dorie 10065@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Madcatwoman<br /> That's Purrfect! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/659#post-10040 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 13:29:19 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 10040@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Aaaah, the 80's *wistful smile* - that was really funny Dorie, thanks for posting it.

However, I've advanced into the 21st Century and learned the technology needed for today. (Well, something like that).</p> <p>But I go even further back to when TV was first introduced, you spoke to an operator when you wanted to make a phone call, and my first record ("Love Me Tender" by Elvis) was a 78 rpm. Talk about feeling old!! But I'm not old in my mind (yet), just my body. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/659#post-9962 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 10:20:12 +0000 NorthernLilly 9962@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Now see ... I could still survive without all the today stuff! When I was growing up I was one out of 5, money was tight. My parents just got caller ID this past year, I didn't get a PS1 until PS2 came out and even then I was playing on my Nintendo up til then! AND I still grew up, and currently even hear, with the stories from my parents and other older figures in my life and LOVED 'em. Till I heard them too many times hehe :) I'm young but I know how to get along without all the nifty new stuffs...<br /> Just had to stick up for the few in my age range that don't feel as spoiled either lol </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/659#post-9961 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 10:16:31 +0000 debsterwiz 9961@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>God do I feel old! But I just can't help wishing from time to time that it was still 85'. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/659#post-9928 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 09:06:14 +0000 Tigger 9928@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>was painting a kitschy picture of '79 w/ the Gremlin,HM,how about a '69 GTO ragtop with the shark-nose? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/659#post-9920 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 08:56:10 +0000 HuddysMama 9920@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>So true....</p> <p>I love ELO, tigerpaw.
