Grandpa

I saw this on another blog tonight, I'd read it before and decided I wanted to share it. It's such a reminder of all that has happened in our nation that's not good, that makes my own heart ache. Oh how I'd love for simpler days, days where imo things were in a much better perspective. We are not better off today. Most are overscheduled, many do not have a personal relationship with Christ, does not believe in true Democracy (and capitalism), thinks that political correctness and accepting anything and all is what we should be, because all things should be tolerated. They've thrown out morals and values that GOD has told us to live by and instead have listened to Satan...our Nation IS getting what it asked for, when we threw GOD out of school and out of our personal lives and threw him out of our Government (don't think he wasn't there...read the Constitution and Bill of Rights and you'll see he IS supposed to be in our Government). We now think it's more important for women to not be "burdened" with pregnancy and murder our future....oh how wrong we have become. Take a read


How Old Is Grandpa?




Stay with this -- the answer is at the end. It will blow you away.



One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events.



The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.



The Grandfather replied, 'Well, let me think a minute, I was born before:



' color television



' penicillin



' polio shots



' frozen foods



' Xerox



' contact lenses



' Frisbees and



' the pill



There were no:



' credit cards



' laser beams or



' ball-point pens



Man had not invented:



' pantyhose



' air conditioners



' dishwashers



' clothes dryers



' and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and



' man hadn't yet walked on the moon



Your Grandmother and I got married first, and then lived together..



Every family had a father and a mother.



Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, 'Sir'.

And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, 'Sir.'



We were before gay-rights, computer- dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy.



Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.



We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions.





Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege.



We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent.



Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins.



Draft dodgers were those who closed front doors as the evening breeze started.



Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends-not purchasing condominiums.



We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings.



We listened to Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President's speeches on our radios..



And I don't ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey.



If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan ' on it, it was junk



The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school exam.



Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of.



We had 5 &10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents.



Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel.



And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards.



You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600, .. .. but who could afford one?

Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon.



In my day:



' 'grass' was mowed,



' 'coke' was a cold drink,



' 'pot' was something your mother cooked in and



' 'rock music' was your grandmother's lullaby.



' 'Aids' were helpers in the Principal's office,



' ' chip' meant a piece of wood,



' 'hardware' was found in a hardware store and



' 'software' wasn't even a word.



And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby.



No wonder people call us 'old and confused' and say there is a generation gap . . and how old do you think I am?



I bet you have this old person in mind....you are in for a shock!



Read on to see -- pretty scary if you think about it and pretty sad at the same time.

Are you ready ?



This person would be only 59 years old.
