Yep, things have changed, some for the better, some for the worse.  Have these changes affected us adversely?  Are we richer for having known the past?  We are the sum of these parts and we all have an opinion on that, I’m sure!

Stepping back in time, I will leave you with a quote… Popeye’s opinion….popeye

  2. I think about this a lot but don't know if there is a right or wrong answer...I'm sure our parents thought the same thing and heaven knows what will be going on in twenty years...I'm seriously thinking about having my hubby lock my computer in the safe during the day..I have no self control...but blogging is so FUN so I think what does it hurt? Like having coffee with your neighbor to me...
