Thanks that was great,I remeber most of those years.
I after seeing the elections results tonight I'm afraid we all need memories of when America was great. Get ready for chaos and 3rd world status, 1967 was only the beginning of the end for the USA.

I remember my first experience with electricity. My dad told me that no matter what I do, don't touch that wire. Well, what do you think I had to do? (three years old)

Well, Kindred, I had an encounter with an electric fence when I was younger, although not quite as spectacular as your brother's was, I'm sure.
My daddy had a pair of bird dogs (Britney Spaniels) who lived in a chain link dog run in our back yard. These two little girlies were very adept at climbing that fence and did it quite often until Daddy installed an electric wire around the top of the pen. And you'd know when they tried to climb out because you'd hear this high pitched yelp and look out there to see one or the other running around in a circle pawing at her nose!
Well, guess who's job it was on Saturday mornings to feed the dogs? Mine. Seeing as how I've NEVER been a morning person, I wasn't exactly firing on all cylinders that cold December morning when Mother sent me out with two dog bowls in my hands. Now, don't ask me what I was thinkin', cause I'm sure I wasn't, when I opened up the gate and FORGOT to duck! I caught that electric wire square across my forehead, dropped both dog bowls and screeched at the top of my lungs. Took me a full 10 seconds to realize what had even happended! By the time I picked up the mess, fed the dogs and made it back inside the house, my mother was still rolling around on the floor, practically wetting herself, laughing at me. Not one of my prouder moments from childhood, to say the least!

You mean your Dad didn't tell you what MY Dad told my brother?????
To not pee on the electric fence. Yep, you are right, my brother didn't listen. Funny thing is though, it only took ONE TIME for him to learn, lol.
Gosh, I will NEVER forget that!!! LOL

Hey, Thanks for that. I really enjoyed that. I was a teenager in the sixties, the end of the sixties actually. But I remember all of that stuff. It's good when you can go back and see and look and listen to all the good times.
I wish our world today were a little more like it was in the sixties. But, we can't cry over spilled milk.
Thanks again. I loved it.

we had more human-to-human interaction...
the more we move away from identifying with one another as people the more identity theft we seem to have
