You wouldn't survive. Remember, no computers, no cell phones, only three TV channels in many places, no A/C in most homes or cars, barely any microwaves, no Netflix, etc., et al.

......they had just invented color.

Breathing air cost just a nickle, and it was uphill to every place.

Sounds like a blast.

Worse than that! In those earlier years, most cars had hand-crank windows and clunky stick-shifts on the column, rear view mirrors with no shading for headlights behind you, the windshields weren't tinted, and no turn signals. Also, the seats had to be adjusted by holding up on a lever, and then jerking your body to slide the seat while remembering to let go of the lever at the right time so it wouldn't all be a waste when the seat just slid back to the original location.

AND, the bicycles only had one speed.

It's not DRIVING without manual gears. Modern manual gears are not "clunky" but smooth shift.

Amen to that sister. I wouldn't wish what I've been through on anyone. Never mind another Christian. Still I only wish,and hope to be a better Christian!!!

Well, you have a point there. It costs us about $250 every time one of our windows goes South. This last time, we just had them lock one of my wife's rear windows in the <UP> position, rather than bother to fix it.
