A Senior Teaches Today's Youth About Yesterday....Let Us Entertain You
Thanks to a reader who remembered "the days of yore"
Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the senior lady that she should bring her own grocery bags, because plastic bags were not good for the environment.
The woman apologized to the young girl and explained, "We didn't have this 'green thing' back in my earlier days.
The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations."
The older lady said that she was right - our generation didn't have The "green thing" in its day. The older lady went on to explain:
Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store.
The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over.
So they really were recycled.
But we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day.
Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags that we reused for numerous things.
Most memorable besides household garbage bags was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our school books.
This was to ensure that public property (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribbling. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags.
But, too bad we didn't do the "green thing" back then.
We walked up stairs because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building.
We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.
But she was right. We didn't have the "green thing" in our day.
Back then we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throw away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts. Wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days.
Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.
But that young lady is right; we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day.
Back then we had one TV, or radio, in the house --not a TV in every room.
And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief not a screen the size of the state of Montana.
In the kitchen we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us.
When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.
Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power.
We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.
But she's right; we didn't have the "green thing" back then.
We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water.
We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.
But we didn't have the "green thing" back then.
Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service in the family's $65,000 SUV or van, which cost what a whole house did.
But we didn't have the "green thing" back then.
We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint.
But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because...
...we didn't have the "green thing" back then?

New Addition to Weekly SCA-TV Programming
Something New on SCA-TV
When
elbasts are sent to the SCA community, I don't think that many in the
community actually pay much attention to them.
After
all, how many times can you read the same Covid-19 messages?
...but...
...lately
something new seems to have been added that you might wish to...
...making you aware of SCA-TV broadcast announcements.
I realize that to many of you, this might not be a "big deal",
because let's face it, how many of you actually watch SCA-TV?
...but....there's
a big change that recently took place...
...and
it's something that, in our opinion, has been long overdue.
Over
the years, Sun City Anthem Boards have left a lot to be desired when
it came to making our community aware of what's going on, but now
that seems to have changed...
...with
another "New
Deal"
promise being kept by this current Board.
It
can be summarized in one word...
..and
it's now being made a part SCA-TV broadcasts with a Board member
report that can be viewed by simply clicking on the SCA-TV site.
The
recent broadcast included a message from Sun City Anthem President, Rana
Goodman.
You
may not attend a formal Board meeting, but now you can get a video
report of "what's
going on"
by clicking on this site:
The
site includes other reports, but if you wish to go straight to the
President's Report in this week's presentation, open the site, and go
to minute 9:45.
It's
a short 4 minutes and is worth watching.
How
many of you have actually been introduced to those who "call the
shots" for 7,144 homes?
Based
on the past (30-40 people normally attend Board meetings), a rather sad attendance number, but this
change represents an opportunity to listen to those who have been
elected to represent you.
This
week you have the opportunity to meet, Madame President, Rana
Goodman.
We
hope this will be part of each weekly broadcast and that the entire
Board will participate. It's one of the best ways for all of us
to meet them.
Sun City Anthem Board and SCA-TV !
