Remember When...? (Little Upsilon)

I find myself remembering how things were as I play. For example, as I click the news bar off I think to myself, "I remember when there were no scrolling news bars". Happens all the time and I'm wondering if you do too and if so do you have any good ones to post?

Remember when...

You didn't have to click a Terms of Service warning when changing your president's picture?

LOL, Remember when you could do sneak attacks and toggle wp on and off before and after LoL!

Remember what you ate for dinner? Me neither.

remember when you could take down a c3 and get about 40k of off a-a and a couple of thousand drones, etc. and you could do the whole thing in about 15 minutes.

remember when you could make 1 1/2% per game month on loans?

When you're a kid, you spend most of your time peering into the future, mostly because there's not much past to recall. When you get really old, a lot of your time is spent looking back, remembering what was because what's much too near at hand is often nothing we want to contemplate too deeply. It catches us all, eventually, and I think by then we have sorted out what memories we will keep for comfort food, and which we will ignore, deny, or forget entirely.

But somewhere in the middle I think a lot of us begin to look back at what our childhood was like, and our parents, relatives, and friends, and wonder how much of that shaped us directly, gave us a gentle shove in a particular direction, seemed to have no influence at all--or became something that we learned to work around or tunnel away from, in order to survive.

Old people.

being the oldest one in the game, i can really relate to this. What i've observed though, is that not only are we in denial about the past but we are deluded about what the past was like. We tend to fantacize about the past and talk about the "good old days" and "why can't we return to the way things were". My take on this; it was never that way. I don't want to go back to segregation or slavery or WWI and WWII or live through the 250million who were killed in wars or genecide. I don't want us to live through the depression years, or the dust bowl again.

There is much that i remember about my childhood that was good, but there is some of my childhood that i had to work through to become the man that i am today. It's my hope and prayer-- that the lessons that I learned over the years will make my children and grand children better persons and that I can impart a little wisdom to making the future a bette p

Barren--what's wrong with old people. lol I'm a very happy old person. I hope you'll have the chance to try it.
