Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I used to have a sign in my bedroom that said These Are The Good Old Days. I thought it was funny 30 years ago, but now it's true!

When I was a kid, the nostalgia books tended to be about the 1890's through the 1950's, because that's about the live memory span of people then living. Nobody really got nostalgic about the upheavals of the 60's until the 80's. There seems to be about a 20-year gap: time for kids to become adults and wish for childhood simplicity again.

Only for a child is time simple. I thought the 70's were somewhat idyllic: The Brady Bunch, Little House on the Prairie, Mork and Mindy, rainbow toe socks and the Muppets and tire swings and Jello Pudding Pops. But for my parents, it was inflation doubling the cost of building our house; nearly loosing their business; gas lines; working a huge garden because we had to so we could pay for everything we needed.

So these really are the good old days, for those with the eyes to see it.

The Judds - Grandpa (Tell Me About The Good Old Days) have a pretty good song about the "Good Old Days." I like to think we each have our "Good Old Days."
