Having your own little world at the top of a tree was heaven.<br /><br />I miss the penny candy counter at the little store. There were about 60 different candies to choose from so a dime would get a great variety.<br /><br />And yeah, I really, really miss the rotary phone - with a long, long winding cord so you could walk to another room and it would always get wrapped around the furniture.<br /><br />I miss a hell of a lot.livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-26156309331430255782015-04-24T16:03:25.994-04:002015-04-24T16:03:25.994-04:00I miss the days when you could use an ATM that did...I miss the days when you could use an ATM that didn't belong to "your bank" and you didn't have to pay a fee to take out YOUR OWN MONEY!!

And yes, I do think making endless choices from endless options on every damn thing is so not a good thing. I try to keep it simple.

People ARE oddly obsessed with always having food and water at hand. I never carry around either one, unless I'm on a daylong hike, but nowadays whenever you buy even a city backpack it has a little pocket for the omnipresent water bottle.<br /><br />I don't miss film. I never liked film, and unlike Angella I never liked waiting for my pictures. (And then finding out that they didn't turn out -- aaargh!)<br /><br />I DO miss peace and quiet. I don't understand why we need hundreds of television channels and why we surf our computers and phones while the TV buzzes away in the background.

I had a total melt down some years ago while trying to turn on the ringer on my landline phone. Remember when there was a bell that you could kinda see if you turned the phone over and it had a switch that you could flip to OFF. The phone that caused my breakdown had a menu button. Push one for... trying to turn off the ringer took fucking MINUTES. The same with setting an alarm on your cellphone nowadays.. Sure I do it...but it was easier with an old fashioned alarm clock.

You had about 15 seconds to get in the door or there would be trouble. Trouble meaning a spank, which I miss as well. I think it wouldn't hurt kids to get a swat now and then. Nothing hard, just a swat that stings. And I miss going for groceries and spending $100.00 (!) and it lasted 2 weeks. I miss days that were easier when life was lighter. Oh! And I miss camping in an actual tent and cooking over a Coleman stove! And I also miss going camping where my dad would take us for a walk where the store was "just around the corner" but actually took about 2 hours. He gave us each a whole dollar and we bought a chocolate bar, a can of Orange Crush and a bag of chips.
