Would you like to turn back time?
Watch this postWould you like to turn back time? This is a question posed by one our our members who would welcome your views …
“Just recently I have read of so many people who want to return to the fifties, sixties, seventies etc and seem to want to live in the past. What do you think? I can remember lining up for the necessary inoculations and praying that I wouldn’t be last in the queue as the needle got blunt (yes, they used the same needle for the whole class); only being able to buy a limited range of vegetables; being able to play outside and having to come home when it got dark; having only one television channel and that was in black/white. We’ve come a long way but although life is very different now, I welcome most of the changes.”
Are you happy in the current era, or would you like to revisit the past? What are your views?

Shortly before her death I asked her. 'why have you always hated me?' Her answer was, ' I couldn't even begin to tell you.'
I don't know what I must have done to earn her hatred, and now I never will.
she, her nasty husband, and their 10 other children treated me in ways i won't share... at 16, they ripped up my school report and told me you dont this anymore, you're going to work now to pay us back all the money we spent on you .... and when I said I am not, my grandmother thru hot tea over me ... that afternoon I packed a few clothes, took whatever money I had saved and left. Sickos.
