Thanks to all the folks who find thought-provoking and entertaining articles to post here
Keep up the good work and feel free to share posts with friends. Spread the word.
To the lurkers: if you have never posted, don't be shy. If you find something that reveals a new truth, confirms our biases -- or challenges our biases -- sock it to us.
And, as for the cost of full participation, it all goes to good causes except for the small percentage that Locals.com takes to keep the lights on. But even if you just read once in a while, we are happy to have you here.
(BTW, don't automatically believe everything you read here. Some of us post quirky stuff, just because it is thought-provoking.)

I ate peanuts in class.
None of us wore a helmet.
Kids got hurt. We fell down. And we signed a lot of casts.
We couldn’t pause TV. We’d call out “It’s on!” as soon as the commercials started to end (for those who had left the room). And we watched our favourite shows as a family.
There was no next day delivery.
There was no bundle this with that.
There was no internet. Skip the Dishes didn’t exist.
Fast food was not the norm. It was easier to eat healthy. There were home phones. There was VH.........
