MAN B, YOU JUST TOOK ME BACK MEMORY LANE WITH SOME OF THE THINGS YOU MENTIONED JUST NOW . WOW SEARS CATALOG,TEN CENTS IN THE JUKE BOX ,AND SHE CAN’T COME TO THE PHONE BOY I STILL REMEMBER ALL THAT IT’S LIKE OUR NATIVE TONGUE. THROUGH THE YEARS THOUGH WE HAVE PICKED UP THE NEW STUFF THAT IS NOT OUR NATIVE TONGUE SO TO SPEAK. WE ARE LEARNING THE NEW STUFF TO KEEP FROM BEING DATED I GUESS. MOST OF THE TIME IT FEELS LIKE LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE AND CULTURE THAT WE GOTTA FIT INTO OUR HARDWIRED MINDSET AND WAYS. TRANSITIONING FROM REGULAR PHONES AT HOME TO BEEPERS TO CELL PHONES TO NOW I PHONES IS AMAZING. IF YOU TRY TO EXPLAIN THE ROTERY PHONE WE GREW UP WITH TO THE CUTURE TODAY THEY WOULD THINK YOU WERE ANCIENT HISTORY TYPE PEOPLE ! I STILL REMEMBER TELLING MY LITTLE COUSINS A BOUT 47 YEARS AGO( I STILL HAD A OLD BLACK & WHITE TV MY AUNT GAVE ME) THAT THEY COULD LOOK AT THAT. THEY SAID TO ME YOU DON’T HAVE A COLOR TV ? I SAID NO, I HAVE THIS ONE AND THAT AT ONE TIME THIS WAS THE ONLY KIND. THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE GLAD THEY DIDN’T LIVE IN THOSE DAYS ! WE ADAPT TO ALL THIS NEW STUFF TO STAY CURRENT CAUSE OUR OLD STUFF TO THEIRS IS LIKE HAVING A CARBARATOR TO THEIR FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM ! THE BIBLE IS OUR SAFE PLACE BECAUSE THE TRUE MEANING OF WHAT THOSE ACTUALLY SPOKEN WORDS SAID STILL MEAN THE SAME AS IT WAS INTENDED FOR TO MEAN. YOU’RE NEVER OUTDATED WITH THAT ! LEARNING, ADJUSTING AND ADAPTING KEEPS US OUT OF THE INFAMOUS “DATED ZONE” !
Yeah that’s a world wide phenomenon. I remember the 8track tape player in my car. The rotary phone. How ’bout Jim croche operator won’t you help me make this call. My kid said what’s an operator? Even here in Israel. I said something at the table with my kids, we speak Hebrew mostly when together, I said something in Hebrew, and my daughter looked at me with a puzzled face for a moment, then said “abba we don’t say that anymore” I’ve now learned I’ve out grown two culture’s one here and one there. Btw I’m not sure that the language in the bible is today what it was then. Things get lost in generational translation. Let’s just pray the basic message gets through.

LOL well I feel better… I talk about rock bands I listened to .. my kids look at me like my mind is going fuzzy LOL
How bout the ‘rock’a bowl. Driven and roller skating as a date on a Friday. Ready to go back in time. Where is huey Lewis and the news!!
I met Huey Lewis in Idaho.. at baggage claim lol.. he’d actually heard my song Love Takes Time..
I have no idea what that catalogue is either. Stationwagon was the same as a SinBin over here!!!!! Great insights. Kettle is slowly on the boil.
