re: All good things must come to an end, what has ended for you that you once enjoyed?

Family and community unity. What divorce didn’t destroy, culture and politics finished off. Christmas at Grandma’s was epic; real food was delicious, opening presents was a blast, fireworks at night fun and the house was packed like a can of sardines. You could leave your gun on the rack in your truck at school or town and jump anybody’s fence and hunt on their property; fences were for livestock and not people. Friday night football and little league with meal afterwards with zero trouble. And heroes were elevated to their status for true heroic action. Rural life in the 50’s was the epitome of the ‘American Dream’. I suspect the future be relative degrees of virtual reality like “The Matrix “ if we don’t get things back on track. Real has become too much to bear for many. Lord help us.

Playing basketball. Played till in my 40's but I'd always get hurt and I'm not nearly as good at it and that hurts my pride. So I had to call it quits.

I played basketball every Sunday night for close to 10 years…. Moved to Texas and stopped and have had absolutely zero interest to ever play again… weird how that works.

The lower food prices under Trump

Being in school. I was shell shocked the first year I worked. Always bitched about school and classes and my part time job. Then I got slapped in the face with a full time job in a big city with 2 weeks vacation. The first holidays that came, it hit me, there is no time off. Only the crap vacation they give you, and then when you take it, you still feel guilty.

So school coming to an end.... and being slapped in the face by the real world.

Football and college/pro sports in general. I don't enjoy them at all anymore.

This one I can't blame on anything but my own interest......I wish I still loved them as much as when I was a kid but I'm just not really interested anymore idk why

I think maybe all the info that was on the back of the card now being available in my pocket at any time may have something to do with it

I would come back to it every few years. I could buy some boxes of my favorite and get great pulls but now I can't justify to myself to spend that kind of money.

Playing basketball for exercise. Kids and work just don’t leave enough time.

I used to be involved in a bunch of Mardi Gras krewes. Rode in several of them and involved in ball activities. Kinda halted all after Covid. Now, I just go watch the parades and equally as happy.
