[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 731811, member: 21572"] Lots of insight. Thanks everyone. How far would you go back in time? As in what era, and why? [COLOR=rgb(77, 77, 255)]I'd go back to the 60's and 70's. Loved that time! Free, fun, relaxing, money went a long ways, and people relaxed watching life pass-by.[/COLOR] What sorts of things do you miss from back in the old days that are no longer today? [COLOR=rgb(77, 77, 255)]I miss the laid-back lifestyle of yesteryear, where women stayed home to tend to the home and the children. in my opinion it was a more stable time where relationships meant something, unlike today, and where a more regimented lifestyle graced people's lives. Families sat down together and ate meals together, unlike today, everyone that wanted to work - could work, unlike today, and there was far more respect in those days compared to today, where all I see is people running wild with no direction. Kids also ran free. Playtime wasn't restricted to the confines of a white picket fence.[/COLOR] What differences do you see today compared to years past?
