@once_upon it's was a good idea - fun thread
Has anyone yet said Kweeeen!
I really didn't start the thread as a "walking uphill both ways" thread. I was reminiscing - my college roommate and I have a two week period in which we both had our 70th birthdays and DH and my 50th wedding anniversary, she was my maid of honor.
@once_upon . I should not have included "walking uphill both ways" as an example of things that our parents would bemoan the "kids" of our generation would not know anything about. I was only saying that our nostalgia reminds me of prior generations doing the same thing. I've enjoyed this thread as much as anyone here!I really didn't start the thread as a "walking uphill both ways" thread.

She and I roomed together for one year, in one of the campus' oldest residence halls. The phone thing in particular reminded me that my kids don't have land lines anymore and I can't just pick up the phone to call the grandkids.
I guess it's a sign of getting old. Wanting.to remember things. Probably also a walk down memory lane as memories fail.
I'm sure I have no idea of how much my kids or grandkids would point out as things I don't know about.
I hope we continue! Just editorial comment@once_upon .

Can still do this in Australia when flying domestic.Because an anniversary story popped up in my feed today:
Having your friends or family meet you at the gate when flying in.
I loved the slideshows too. We didn't have a tv when I was young- and I remember well the 5 of us kids arranged on my parents bed-from my teenage sisters to my toddler little brother watching them on my parents' bedroom wall. Dad took a lot of pictures when he was in the Navy, so they were from Hong Kong, Japan, Australia etc. as well as family pics. One of my favourite childhood memories. I don't know what happened to them all, though.I love slide shows!
My dad took all his pictures as slides starting from when I was 7. Sadly, the woman he left our family for, just before I turned 12, has possession of them. I would love to get those missing 5 years back as I know there’s a bunch of me.
My rock-hounding uncle also took slides so I got to see all the cool rock places he went to.
My husband’s father was in the Korean War, and we now have his slides.
We still even have a slide projector.
