[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 591263, member: 1550"] I loved the smell of paper just fresh off of, what we called, the ditto machine (teacher made copies that we called dittoes). I wonder if I ever got high from that smell...lol. AM radio for all the greatest hits. There was no FM. Gosh, I'm old...lolol! I remember when FM started :) No special education. heck, no ADHD...it was called hyperactivity and rarely diagnosed. Kids like me fell by the wayside and the kids called me "stupid." Teachers allowed to taunt kids with verbal AND physical abuse. Girls had to wear skirts to school. That all changed while I was in high school. Go Babyboomers!!!!! I don't know if our grandchildren or great-grandchildren will ever hold a paperback book. Those are also on the way out. Ditto for newspapers. On a sad note, our grandkids will never know a United States with no threat of terrorism. I doubt if they'll ever know a hippie. A REAL HIPPIE. I'm not sure that's a bad thing. I really didn't like them...lol :) [/QUOTE]
