Thnx for bringin back the memories. Nice one!

Well back then, having a Colored TV was a luxury people couldn't afford.

I doubt if you people get it. Hahahahaha.. I was laughing all the way through. Oh me gosh this is hilarious.

The 30 something crews said they wouldn't talk to their younger generations about their history just like the generation before them did.. But at the long run... they listed errthang and said the generation after them are spoiled bratz. Tot they said they wouldn't lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard they had it and how easy they've got it!

My parents did the same thing to me, now I am thinking will my kids hear this story too?
