Those were the days. I could make it to recess or lunch without needing to use a bathroom. To have a strong bladder again.

I also remember being able to ask someone if they wanted to play and not have mommy arrange play dates.

I even took a city bus (yeah...public transportation) to get to my grammar school...

We also had recess on scalding hot and dangerous metal playground equipment; tall slides with no one standing around us to catch us if we fell...but we managed to survive. If we scraped a knee or elbow, no one was there to kiss our boo-boo, so we shook it off and went back for another round on the swings....it's amazing any of us are still here.

Look what a mass of wreckage Boomers turned out to be.

When we know better, we do better, thankfully.

Yes, I remember that we didn't have any of those things. We also brought our lunch or bought lunch at the school cafeteria.

We didn't use backpacks either.

I remember when no pants were allowed on girls. I wore a skirt or dress and panty hose or socks every day, I do remember it was 1969 when we were allowed to wear jeans and pants.

@Travone. I've arranged play dates for my dogs but nobody ever arranged one for me.

Have you moved yet?

Thursday is my last day at work. My current house closes next week and I will be on the road right after.
