Are you referring to World War II? (When I think of the "old days," I'm thinking of the 1700s or before that.)

Sounds like you were not thinking about fixing your vehicle...

aaaah.... welll, we didn't learn much about the history of Norway before WW2 sadly. We did have "Litteraturhistorie" (about itterature and authors) though and a bit about the vikings. I think the vikings traded with most countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, the Britannic isles and even places in Asia.

It was just the opposite for us. We didn't learn much about the world AFTER World War II. It was at the end of the books, and we never got to the end of the books.

hmm, we should trade books then so we both can learn more.

Sadly I've forgotten a lot, so when this semester is over, I'm going to brush up a bit on history.

 

[resurrection33]

History is fun. I had no interest in it as a young person, but later I read a lot of history books.

 

[wwjd_kilden]

I like it, but I don't have a very good memory (man, I can't get old, I won't remember anything)

 

[resurrection33]

When you get old, you will find that there are too many things to remember.

 

[wwjd_kilden]

I think I found that out already

 

[resurrection33]

I find I have to write some things down if I want to remember them, and one needs to be selective of what they write down since one can only afford so much paper.

 

[wwjd_kilden]

hehe

I use "sticky notes" on my computer a lot to remember stuff

 

[resurrection33]

I write things in my calendar, of course. I have a sheet of paper for miscellaneous things I'll need to know all my life. I have "files" (manilla envelopes) that contain much information.

Then it becomes a problem of remembering where I keep all this information.

 

[wwjd_kilden]

yeah.... I am good at writing down what I need to buy at the grocery store and then loosing the note

 

[resurrection33]

My grocery notes go into my billfold, then into a shoebox, then onto my calendar.

 

[BananaPie]

...say, when your grocery notes make it to the grocery store, may I, like, borrow your notes, please?... ROFL

 

[wwjd_kilden]

lol, sure, but you gotta come to my store

 

[BananaPie]

LOL!
...okay I'll shop your local grocery store, just make sure you've gotten chocolates on your grocery list. A girl cannot forget her chocolates! LOL

...hmm... ...does to Concord fly to Norway?... ...grabs a PanAm flight schedule magazine...

 

[resurrection33]

I make a living wage but can't afford to go to Norway to shop.

I was thinking, though, maybe someday we could all meet up in London.
