What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

Also, it really irks me what toys are placed in the pink or blue aisles. The toy kitchens are placed in the pink aisle. Because obviously, only girls would like a toy like that. Let's ignore the fact that many professional chefs (particularly famous chefs and chefs at high end places) are men. Let's also ignore the fact that men can and do prepare food, and some boys might like to play in a play kitchen to mimic their fathers.

Reminds me of when my oldest son was about 3 or 4. He loved to play with a toy kitchen at the babysitters house, and for Christmas he asked for a spiderman kitchen. Couple of packs of spiderman stickers and a generic toy kitchen was a hit with him AND his little brother. And when baby sis inherited it, she thought it was too cool that it had spiderman on it, too.

Be glad they don't play in Hawaii or visit Japan often. The time difference is a weird one.

The most rabid baseball fans I knew as a kid were girls. We lived and died by the Red Sox, and it wasn't just because Tony Conigliaro was cute. My grandmother never missed a Sox game on the radio, and one of the last things she said to me before she died was "Why the hell don't they get rid of Bob Stanley."

My mother is even more fanatical than her mother was -- she calls me after every game to dissect the outcome. I dread west coast road trips.

Turning non-verbs into verbs to be cutting edge in the language wars.

Or as they themselves might say, verbing nouns.

Dances that involve standing in one spot and shaking like you're having a spasm.

Like the "Black Bottom"?

Remember, "Charleston is the Best Dance After All".

People who wear campaign buttons a year before the election.

How about eight decades after the election?

Miley Cyrus.

For some reason she reminds me of Principe Luis.

I am willing to bet that the cat has more personality than the young....um...lady

What a century can do!

Our ideal of youth, beauty and sensuality has changed from this:

It is all about who can show the most skin now a days.

I think the vast majority of people don't believe Mylie Cyrus is an ideal of beauty. The U.S. public is fascinated with a celebrity train wreck.

Americans throwing children into the maw of the Celebrity Machine aren't too far removed from the Ammonites passing their children thru the fire to Molech.

You have that right. When you see nutty children look at the parents. Apples don't fall too far from trees.

And let's not forget that if a girl wants to play with sports equipment, she's considered "empowered." If a boy wants to play with an Easy-Bake Oven or a sewing machine, he's probably "differently gendered."

We've Come So Far.

I didn't play with an easy bake oven when I was a kid.
Instead I played with a real one, learning from my grandmother, how to hone my skills and tailor them to her incredible abilities as a chef not just a cook.
34 years later, I'm still cooking, adapting regular recipes to low carb, and making them taste so close to the "real" thing, my wife doesn't know the difference. Neither do my inlaws when I go down there to cook. Of course my FIL does watch me to make sure I don't put
"fake eggs" in his omelets.
As for the sewing machine, I can hand sew, but I can't use the Singer in the living room.
It's at least a 60's model if not earlier.
Maybe one day.

Lizzie, one of my "girl" friends is one of the girls I spoke about in my earlier post.
She took her interest in rock music, learned how to play the drums, and has been on numerous albums, including working for Jimmy Buffet, and a large Symphony Orchestra. She can out golf many guys I know, and in HS was the envy of some of the boys by trying to "drift" a similar model Cadillac to James's in the snow...successfully I might add.

Grandmother made quite the good wife out of you. :rofl:

I prefer house husband.
I've heard of that term before, somewhere....
In HS my mother tried to convince me to go to a cooking school, but I didn't think male chefs made that much.
Stupid me, there are many on the food network that can't cook worth a crap, and they make 10x what I make.
Should have listened to my mother. [huh]
