Granted, you and I.

Screw internet! You didn't need it, there were so many other entertainment and you were always occupied and you never heard the word "Bored"

1945, Damn I wish I was born then. But I ain't that lucky...

Granted, but you are right. you were not there in 1954.

Life was better. No internet, cars you could fix yourself, 25 cent a gal gas, you could buy two weeks groceries for 15 dollars. Wish I was back there now.

My Grandma used to tell me that the word "Bored" doesn't exist. She would say "If you think you cain't think of nothing to do, pick up a broom, the floor is never completely clean."

Once I told her that the only reason the said that was because she grew up in a house that didn't have a real floor. Then she made Hickory Tea. :shock: I never said nothing like that again.

Grandmas are very wise. I know mine was, she came from a West Virginia coal mining town to Washington state in 1900 in a horse and wagon when she was 10 years old. She could tell some facinating stories about her life. she was quite a lady, she lived to be 102.

I wish I knew all the things she knew.

Edit-@ Teesie-Is hickory tea another name for a whipping?

Granted, but then your mind will overfill.

Not to mention Huey that there was 5 cents for a cup of coke. Aren't you in your 70s now? Man, you spent your best years in the best timeline.

I WANT to believe in when you die you can go to wherever you want, you all know where i'm going: (The year 1945)

Granted, but she never cooks what you want.

....and Yes. There a tree that grows aroung here that old folks call a Hickory Tea Tree. I'm not sure if that's the actually name of the tree or just what people call it. Anyways.... you can use the leaves to make a tea called Hickory Tea that is said to calm nerves and relax you. It has really green, wet, thin branches. If you got a woopin' with one of those switches it was nearly equivalent to a 19th century lashing. You don't come out of it without blood running down your backside. Grandma would go out and break off a branch, pull off all the leaves, and give us a switchin'. Afterward she would make tea from the leaves and sit there slowly drinking it while we sat in time out in the corner crying. Needless to say after the first time Grandma made Hickory Tea, whenever she would so much as mention it we would stop dead in our tracks before she made it again. Some people called it cruel, but she called it effective.

Now a days you can't do that anymore unless you just paticularly want to go to jail lol.....

I wish I had a swimming pool. 8)

Granted, but you couldnt afford to maintain it.
Thats interesting about your tree. My mom used a wooden spoon on me and my dad just used his hand. When I was 7 I told my dad to go to hell. That was a big mistake. After I picked myself off of the floor I decided that was not such a good idea. You are right, touch a kid nowdays you would go to jail for child abuse or sex abuse.

Almost forgot, If I cant have a wife i wish I was kept.

Granted. Until the person keeping you dies and leaves nothing to continue your upkeep.

I wish I could win the lottery.

Granted, but so-called friends and relatives would be trying to take it away from you.

I wish I could get rid of these &%#@ mice.

The previous post did not leave a wish; therefore I will just grant the previous wish if that's ok? :)

Granted, but then you would have dead mouse smell all over the place!

I wish we didn't have to wait so long to get our own house.

Granted, but you would have high house payments.

I wish it would rain, everything is brown.
