Feeling
bad today? Read this and feel happy and blessed.
This
special group was born between 1930 & 1946 = 16 years. In 2022, the age
range is between 76 & 92.
Are
you, or do you know, someone "still here?”
Interesting Facts For You .
. . .
You are the smallest group of children born
since the early 1900's.
You are the last generation, climbing out of
the depression, who can remember the winds of war and the impact of a world at
war that rattled the structure of our daily lives for years.
You are the last to remember ration books for
everything from gas to sugar to shoes to stoves.
You saved tin foil and poured fried meat fat
into tin cans.
You can remember milk being delivered to your
house early in the morning and placed in the "milk box" on the porch.
You are the last generation who spent
childhood without television;
instead, you “imagined” what you heard on the radio.
With no TV until the 1950s, you spent your
childhood "playing outside." There was no Little League.
There was no city playground for kids.
The lack of television in your early years
meant that you had little real understanding of what the world was like.
Telephones were one to a house, often shared
(party lines), and hung on the wall in the kitchen (no cares about privacy).
Computers were called calculators; they were hand-cranked.
Typewriters were driven by pounding fingers,
throwing the carriage, and changing the ribbon.
'INTERNET' and 'GOOGLE' were words that did not
exist.
Newspapers and magazines were written for
adults and the news was broadcast on your radio in the evening.
New highways would bring jobs and mobility.
The radio network expanded from 3 stations to
thousands.
Your parents were suddenly free from the
confines of the depression and the war, and they threw themselves into working
hard to make a living for their families.
You weren't neglected, but you weren't today's
all-consuming family focus.
They were glad you played by yourselves.
They were busy discovering the postwar world.
You entered a world of overflowing plenty and
opportunity; a world where you were welcomed, enjoyed ourselves
and felt secure in your future although the depression poverty was deeply
remembered.
Polio was still a crippler.
You came of age in the '50s and '60s.
You are the last generation to experience an
interlude when there were no threats to our homeland.
The second world war was over
and the cold war, terrorism, global warming, and perpetual economic insecurity
had yet to haunt life with unease.
Only your generation can remember both a time
of great war and a time when our world was secure and full of bright promise
and plenty.
You grew up at the best possible time, a time
when the world was getting better...
You
are "The Last Ones."
More
than 99% of you are retired, and you feel privileged to have "lived in the
best of times!"
Amen!
It’s great being part of the 1% Special Group!

Question of the Weak???
Why isn’t the word “dark” spelled with the letter “c”?
Answer:
Because you cannot “c” in the dark!
