[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 736890, member: 1550"] Good list, Pink. I also could spend hours at record stores. Heck, my dad sold 45s at his pharmacy and would always let me buy some. It was so sweet to listen to a new record! Now this is kind of changing the thread a little. Sorry! Bullying in a very mean and horrible way has exploded since social media. I admit I dont love social media Nor do my kids. Only my husband has an active FB account and his is very innocent. Bullying was always bad if you were targeted at school, but you at least knew you were safe from the bullies in your home. At least the SCHOOL bullies. I loathe that now bullies can follow kids everywhere and in the worst way. When i worked at Applebees, a sweet girl had what sermed like a very nice boyfriend. He came to visit with flowers and smiles. One day she received a video on her phone of her boyfriend having graphic sex with another girl. She was only 16. Two days later this girl slit her wrist and was in the hospital for a while. Before social media you could hear bad things, but I think seeing themtas a surprise is worse. This stuff happens all the time. For the sakes of our younger ones, I miss the days when you could live your life without these big intrusions. I am proud of my kids for dumping FB. Jumper still has an account but barely uses it. The others all took their accounts down. I have mine up but never post. Mostly it is just dog rescue. Bullying onli e has lead to some suicides. Nothing is private anymore. [/QUOTE]
