The adult section in the back behind the curtain to rent the latest adult spoof from Hollywood like Forest Hump, Beauty and the Breasts, the Breasts of Madison County, Schindler’s Lust, the Boobs of Hazard, and more.

I came home yesterday while it was raining and several young kids on my street were playing out in the rain. Running around and splashing in the puddles. Glad to see them outside doing that.

A sense of shame for embarrassing your family in public

Personal responsibilty

Parents wanting be their kid's parent not their friend.

This is still a thing. Just because you personally don’t see it does not mean it doesn’t happen.

Agreed. Simultaneously one of the best and worst inventions of the past 25 years.

Video stores. Recording songs off the radio.

I get we have everything instantly now if we want it. I do think that things were a bit sweeter back then like hearing that song you had been waiting for awhile to come on or finding the last available tape to rent on the shelf.

Waiting for the next episode. I remember coming home from school and jumping in front of the TV for toonami for the next episode of dragon ball z. I think it was a good thing having to wait instead of binge watching.

Used to hear bobwhite quail and meadowlarks non stop. Can't remember the last time I've heard either.

Any time I find one, I take a picture with my daughter for posterity

She’s too young now, but she’ll appreciate the hunt with me soon enough!
