The "I Miss" thread

[chezuki]

I miss Shadow

I missed him too, but then I adjusted 3 minutes left and 2 down...


Nailed that ****er with the second shot.

I never thought it would happen to me, I agree with MrJarrell 100%

Great...Jarrell gets to have his candy bar. The rest of us still have old knees and dead friends. I'm pretty sure this thread is the definition of hell.








I am gonna try that candy bar though.

 

[KittySlayer]

I miss that special thing my wife used to do for me. At least there are still birthdays.

40 hour work weeks.

SO that would make MJ the devil.... things make more sense around here now...

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Fried ice cream.........

Ah yes...That was good.

 

[1775usmarine]

I miss my 2006 deployment to Iraq, and the rest of my service in the Corps.

I miss respect. People used to have respect for their elders, for the police, for their teachers, for each other. Seems now the most don't have any respect for themselves let alone someone else.

 

[JollyMon]

I miss...

1) riding in the back of a pickup truck
2) Being able to easily leave the house for an errand (kids make it some what of a process now a days)
3) My high school weight and physique

 

[1861navy]

I miss playing N64 with friends, no online needed then.
I miss the days when most things weren't made in China.
I miss wrestling from the 90's.
I miss family reunions, we quit doing them in 97 after my uncle passed and things haven't been the same since.

 

[AmmoManAaron]

I miss...

1.) Dad's 1975 Dodge W100 "Power Wagon" that he sold when I was in high school
2.) Having free time AND energy at the same time.
3.) My 1985 Camaro

 

[dvd1955]

I miss when CNN was a news station, not a political opinion station.
And I miss Headline News, where you could watch for thirty minutes any time of the day and get the major news and sports stories and a weather update. I don't think they even have 30 seconds of news anymore!

 

[68NOVA]

I miss Salsa Rio Doritos

 

[JeremiahJohnson]

I miss:

my 1970 Cougar
Please and Thank You
Voting "for" instead of "against"
Mom and Dad when they were young
Sunday church when music and food lasted all day
Fishing on Sunday after church
Cruising with my friends
Fishing all night with my cousins
Being able to sprint like I did in High School
Keeping my shotgun in the truck without worrying about it
Unlocked Doors
Respecting other people's property
Hand Shake Contracts
No Walmart
No Cell Phones
No Road Rage
Good music on practically every station on the radio
Playing football with my buddies on Friday night
Being Naïve
Hearing Papaw's laugh
Hearing Papaw preach
Hearing Mamaw pray

 

[Birds Away]

Playing baseball all day.
When kids could take off on their bikes and no one worried.
Hank's A&W in Wabash.
When you found out a pretty girl liked you.
Being out on deck in the middle of the Pacific at night and seeing all the stars that most people never get to see.

I have been trying to put a list together but it is way to long.

 

[eldirector]

- being able to take off on my 10-speed any go anywhere I wanted, as long as I was back by dark
- going camping with my girlfriend (now wife) at the drop of a hat
- keeping fishing pole in the truck, and stopping whenever/wherever I wanted to get the line wet
- kicking back at a friends house after school on Friday and not coming home until Sunday night after Youth Group. And no one cared.

Basically, having a great amount of freedom and very few responsibilities. While I miss it, I don't want it back. I'd have to give up all I have now.

I have been trying to put a list together but it is way to long.

I was thinking the same thing until I realized it all boiled down to one thing: innocence. Not the naughty kind but the "I haven't done that yet" part where everything is new and bright and shiny. there are material things of course, but the rest boils down to this. I miss being young and naive and thinking I could change the world.

EDIT: I also miss $70 for 1000 rds of 7.62x39 Wolf and $279 AK's with canted sites and $10 30rd AK mags
