7. the first day you forget

about the BS that happened that day.

8. Clinton era was the closest we've ever been... But of course...

that wasn't good enough for certain people who shall remain nameless.

[Deja Q]

10. Late 1960s it began... ended around 1975.

And by 1975 everyone thought 1875 was the good ol' days, what with "Little House on the prairie" and "the waltons" and "grizzly adams" and other mindless "let's return to simple times" becoming glorified even though those days were wrought with issues that would make survival a lot tougher (dangerous animals, no air conditioning, no supermarket, and so on.)

don't forget Kung Fu

those were some good days

20. Or that in 1975 they thought 1955 was the "Happy Days"

or the simple-minded world of Laverne and Shirley and American Graffiti.

11. When I was 11.

Pre-puberty, but old enough to build forts and do crazy dives off the raft, while Mom fed me well and she and my grandmother were still alive. Uncomplicated. Comic books and baseball cards, and Kennedy was president, and the civil rights movement was something worth fighting for, before deepening our involvement in Vietnam. And soon, The Beatles! It's personal to everyone, I guess.

12. my dad said to me

the good old days? -small pox,measles,whooping cough,etc...coal furnaces,three channel tv. crappy cars,crappy roads and expensive airplane rides. belt driven dental drills,stone age medical treatment and procedures.ya those were the good old days.......

17. Oh I recall those drills. And you for got polio

I lived in St. Louis before the shots and had a small baby and the word was no pools because their was so much polio that year.It is really hot in the summer in St. Louis. I can recall they were sending medical help from Chicago to help.Ike was President and they really were the good old days. Every one knew someone who had had polio.

13. I have often thought those people were nuts.

People have been pretty much the same for ever.

[Faygo Kid]

14. I forgot - when "Bewitched" premiered.

Sorry, Arwalden, and I have never recovered from my crush on Elizabeth Montgomery (what's your review of the movie? Haven't seen it).

[WCGreen]

16. The day you first said....

I remember..........

Or back in my day........

[latebloomer]

18. when your parents were kids

no matter when that was. . .

Or else, as Carly Simon once sang--"These are the good old days!"

[Beware the Beast Man]

19. You know, the good old days weren't always good,

and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.

Sorry, I had to. :eyes:
