Them & Us

Most of the time I like young people, I even gave birth to one!

But I also remember the day when:

"grass" was mowed,

"coke" was a cold drink,

"pot" was something your mother cooked in and

"rock music" was your grandmother's lullaby.

"Aids" were helpers in the School Principal's office,

"chip" meant a piece of wood,

"hardware" was found in a hardware shop and

"software" wasn't even a word.

And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby. No wonder people call us "old and confused" and say there is a generation gap…

Today we might have television, jet planes, space travel, man has walked on the Moon, spaceships have visited Mars, we even have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing etc. We didn't have those things when we were young; so we invented them,

Now what the hell are you doing for the next generation??

I am a lurker!

I suppose you might call me a Reader / Commenter of many Blog sites these days.

Some I try once and never return, while others are now part of my daily diet.

On one of these visits I discovered a Blog spot offering ‘Feed Burner’ prizes. Paul Brown over at Technology in plain English is the kind man offering these gifts; we will draw a blank over his claim that I propositioned him on a train. J

If I have any readers out there who would like to be entered into a draw for a Feed Burner then now is your chance. Don’t go looking for a feed burner on my site as I am not that advanced and consider myself on the nursery slopes of blogging!

“So what do you need to do”? I hear you ask. The answer is very easy just leave a comment on this blogpost sometime on Tuesday 27th Feb. You will need to leave your name , email (hidden) and say that you were sent by oldbones1909.blogspot.com (That’s me Grannymar)

You will find it all explained in more detail on this blogpost: 'Free Feedburner gear to giveaway on your blog'.

You know what they say, “If you are not in you can’t win!”

Go on, go on, you know you want to!
