Although it was written for all those born before 1945, I am sure all
of you will enjoy it.

We are the survivors!!!!!!!!! Consider the changes we have witnessed:

We were born before television, before penicillin, before polio shots,
frozen foods, xerox, plastics, contact lenses, frisbees and the pill.

We were born before radar, credit cards, split atoms, laser beams
and ballpoint pens, before pantyhose, dishwashers, clothes dryers and before man walked on the moon.

We got married first and then had children. How quaint can we be?

In our time, closets were for clothes, not for "coming out of".
Bunnies were small rabbits and rabbits were not volkswagons. Designer
jeans were scheming girls name Jean or Jeanne, and having a meaningful
relationship meant getting along well with our cousins.

We were born before house-husbands, gay rights and computer marriages.
We were born before day-care centers and nursing homes.
We never heard of FM Radio, Tape Decks, Electric typewriters, artificial
hearts, word processors, yogurt and guys wearing earrings. For us
time-sharing meant togetherness- not computers or condominiums; a
"CHIP" meant a piece of wood, hardware meant hardware and software wasn't a word.

In 1948, "Made in Japan" meant a piece of junk, and the term
"Making out" referred to how you did on your exam; pizzas, Mcdonald's
and Instant coffee were unheard of.

In our day, cigarette smoking was fashionable, GRASS was mowed,
COKE was a drink, and POT was something you cooked in . Rock music was
a grandma's lullaby and AIDS were helpers in the principal's office.

We were certainly not before the difference between the sexes was discovered,
but we were surely before the sex changes; we made do with what we had and
we were the last generation that was so dumb as to think you needed a husband to have a baby.

NO wonder we are so confused and there is such a generation gap
today. BUT WE SURVIVED!!!!!!!!
