I'll see your pizza delivery with washing dishes at a diner when I was 12. Worked plenty, and I'll save you any military anecdotes about working on a ship if you'll save me your "working class hero" sob story, brother.


Wow! Some people had it REALLY tough

... when I grew up we dialed the telephone and talked into a receiver that was attached to the wall!

...we never had bicycle helmets, knee or shoulder pads. We built cool ramps and skinned our knees.

…we didn’t have carseats or use seatbelts. We often rode in the back of pickup trucks.

…we watched cartoons, (in B&W), on Saturday mornings only, because that’s the only time cartoons were on TV. And you had to get up off the couch to turn the dial on the TV when you wanted to change channnels. We had three channels – and one TV. The national anthem played at midnight when all the stations went off the air. If you weren’t home to watch your favorite TV show you missed out, because you didn’t have any way to record it.

…you had to rent a VCR when you rented a movie -VHS or Beta.

…it took an hour to bake a potato -in the oven.
