We are the survivors!

Consider the changes we have witnessed:

We were born before television, before penicillin, before polio shots, frozen foods, Xerox, contact lenses, Frisbees and the pill.

We were before radar, credit cards, laser beams and ball-point pens; before pantyhose, dishwashers, clothes dryers, electric blankets, air conditioners, drip-dry clothing and before man walked on the moon.

We got married first and then lived together. How quaint can you be?

We were before house-husbands, gay rights, computer dating, dual careers and computer marriages. We were before day-care centers, group therapy and nursing homes. We had never heard of FM radio, tape decks, electric typewriters, artificial hearts, word processors, yogurt and guys wearing earrings.

For us timesharing meant togetherness, not communes or condominiums; a "chip" meant a piece of wood, hardware meant hardware and software wasn't even a word.

In 1950 "Made in Japan" meant junk, and the term "making out" referred to how you did in exam or interview. Pizzas, McDonalds and instant coffee were unheard of.

In our days cigarette smoking was fashionable, grass was mown, coke was a cold drink and pot was a thing you cooked in. Rock music was Grandma's lullaby and Aids were helpers in the Principal's office.

We were certainly not before the difference between the sexes was discovered, but were surely before the "sex change".

We made do with what we had and were the last generation that was so dumb as to think that you needed a husband to have a baby.

No wonder that we are so confused, and that there is such a generation gap.

But we survived!

What better reason to celebrate?

CHEERS !!!
