What I miss...

Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Gateway BRE# 01238257

I was just at the computer shop having my laptop fixed and wondering if all of the data, that I procrastinated in backing up, will still be there after they get it to work... 

Well no matter, I am sure my phone as most of my calendar inside of it.  I hope.  But if that fails, I am sure the people that I had appointments with will call when I don't show up.  However, I can always rely on my notebook that has my penciled in stuff inside and notes about meetings etc... 

I was just thinking, you know something, I miss:

  • The days which I took notes on napkins and toilet paper
  • The times when a phone call could wait until we got to a phone
  • When we understood the meaning of moderation and self control
  • The times in which our dads did not have to explain the value of $1 dollar.
  • When digging a ditch for a living was not looked down upon
  • Being at home mean't wearing a robe, slacks and slippers
  • You did not dare to leave the house without a coat and tie
  • Shoes were made of a substance that could be polished
  • Cars all used one type of fuel
  • Coffee was made at home not something you picked up at a drive through
  • Dinner that was eaten as a family around a table where thoughts and ideas were exchanged
  • Deals were done on a handshake and your word meant everything
  • When we asked if someone needed something, meant it, and did not want anything in return

What do you miss???

I agree with Aziz-I miss seeing the kids playing any kind of ball without 5 parents coaching them.
