Anyone over the age of 35 should read this

Lady Citizen, it is so good to read a post that fits me to a Tee. There are times when I think about how times have changed. Just last week, I told some one that I wish I could live some of those depression days again.
As bad as they were, the store always had a paper bag to put the groceries in.

I use plastic grocery bags as trash bags. I suppose that is evil intent nowadays.

I don't get texting. I've seen people within easy conversation distance text one another, it seems that instead of imaginative play (and even adults should play from time to time) the majority of kids seem to constantly have their attention wrapped around the device in their hands - even while walking from point A to Point B.

Tiny screens from yesteryear? There are those who watch whole movies from the palms of their hands.

"Green" seems to me to be a con. Rooftop solar sells at an obscene markup, and solar panels are made in China - perhaps the most egregious industrial polluter in the world. "Green" is now pitched and sold in about the same heedless manner as "tough on crime", both with little thought and applied with the moral equivalent of swatting flies at the dinner table with a ball bat.

This is amazing! Last week I was wondering where ilbegone had gone and suddenly he is back. I have wondered what happened to Retiredat44 and here he is.
Good to see both of you.

I raised my older children green before it ever was a word other then used for a crayola! They can stick their green goo up the the goo! It's called not being wasteful and wasteing money.
