Amazing! Teenagers back then were already learning Latin and Greek.

 

[BG]

The good life.

 

[Hawaiian Puritan]

It's still just like that in my family!

 

[forgivenmuch]

Simpler times.

 

[PresbyDane]

One can almost get jealous, except they did not have that many books because they were so expensive.

 

[LawrenceU]

I remember watching that in grade school!

 

[Tim]

It's fortunate that we have some video footage from back then, even though it was only black and white!

I'm not giving up my iPhone, computer, or Star Wars DVD collection. Simpler times. Bah, humbug.

Aw man. I thought I would get to see some Puritan spanking techniques!

I will never again complain about the inconvenience of emptying the dishwasher! At least I didn't have to make my own dishes!

I wonder if they ever figured that someday they'd have a web board named in their honor?

Well, you can be sure they never prophesied it.
