About the Nostalgia Page.

This really isn’t the nostalgia page at all. The nostalgia page is in the above margin above the header but I just thought I’d introduce it here.

As a result of the feedback and comments I received about the “Older than dirt” post I thought I’d reserve a special page just for nostalgia.

Since this blog is really from a baby boomer for the benefit of other baby boomers, we should see some amusing and maybe “lump in throat” memories emerge.

The whole idea is to just go to the nostalgia page above and write about a nostalgic memory. Preferably your post should be about things that no longer exist such as the way things were done “back in the olden days when WE were kids”

However you don’t have to be a baby boomer to post on the nostalgia page.

Any interesting stories you might have about the past are welcome. Maybe you heard something from your parents or grandparents which will be fine.

I’ll start it off with a few and hopefully others will add to it as time goes by.

Just click on the nostalgia page at the top of this page or click here to start.

The Need to Back Up!

Well it’s been 2 weeks since I last posted here and with justifiable excuses sliding from my over crowded mind, I’m going to ignore most of them and tell the truth.

I stuffed up, but more about that a little later.

The weather here has been playing havoc on my satellite internet connection with heavy rain blanketing out the satellite signal at the most inopportune times. For example when I’m halfway through a particularly large download or when trying to update my blog with a new widget, I see the little revolving circle which defines a loading, spinning merrily around while in fact nothing is happening.

On checking my modem, I can see only 1 or 2 bars lit signifying a signal too weak to effectively carry out the task at hand. (It needs a minimum of 4.) Such is one of the prices that need to be paid to live in a remote region of Australia. Beautiful and serene as it may be it does have its drawbacks.

However that’s only one of the things that have slowed me down over the past week or so. Read the rest of this entry

Someone sent this to me today in an email.

Considering the topic of my blog I thought I’d include it here as part of a post for those old enough to remember:

“Someone asked the other day, ‘What was your favorite ‘fast food’ when you were growing up?’
‘We didn’t have fast food when I was growing up,’ I informed him.
‘All the food was slow.’

‘C’mon, seriously. Where did you eat?’
‘It was a place called ‘home,” I explained !

‘Mum cooked every day and when Dad got home from work, we sat down together at the dining room table, and if I didn’t like what she put on my plate, I was allowed to sit there until I did like it.’ Read the rest of this entry
