99 Years---Where Did They Go?

The Maxwell, the Overland, both with solid rubber tires? The Ford Model "T" that came in one color only---black? The Atwater Kent and Philco AM radios with about 12 tubes that brought us news and music from KDKA in Pittsburgh, PA? The horse and fancy buggy, but more often a mule pulling a farm wagon, going into town on Saturday for groceries, items from the hardware store and to do a little banking? The kerosene lamp that provided our lights at night? The hand pump near the kitchen to provide our water needs? The outhouse with the Sears, Roebuck and Company Catalog? The passenger train that stopped at every village and town to take us to the outside world? Silent movies where the cowboy hero won the hand of local belle? Where did they go?
The farmer with his huge barn filled with feed for his horses, mules, cows, hogs, chickens and other animals? Ten hired men to do the farm work with horse or mule drawn power for plowing, cultivating and harvesting? A shed full of hoes and other hand tools? And now one man can operate a farm with modern machinery that may cost a million dollars.
Men returning home after World War One usually went back to the farm and we did did not see the dramatic changes we witnessed after WW2. Modern machinery was beginning to replace manual labor and the need for manpower was no longer necessary. The GI Bill was probably one of the federal government's most successful programs ever adopted. The opportunity to attend college and develop skills and knowledge that led to a giant leap in technological achievements that has changed the face of the United States and the world. What was only "Buck Rogers" dreams before WW2 were now becoming every day successes. All of this is just the tip of the iceberg.
We've often heard the expression, "the good old days". For me. the "good old days" is the present. I seriously doubt anyone would consider the great depression being a part of the "good old days". But we survived that era and I tend to believe we learned some valuable lessons. Some of those lessons are still ingrained in our memory to the extent it comes into play in our thought process and some of our actions. For example, there was a saying during the depression, "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without". Maybe we should still give these few words a little attention.
I never imagined I would live long enough to celebrate No. 99. God has really blessed me in so many different ways and I give him thanks every day for these many blessings. In spite of my being unworthy, his love and mercy is without bounds.
I've been asked on several occasions if I could do it all over again, would I make some changes. My answer has always been the same, NO. Oh, there were times when I should have kept my mouth shut and there were times when I should have said something but we can't dwell too much on the past. I found that money is not the most important thing in our lives. We need enough to provide the needs for our family but if our main goal is to accumulate money and worldly possessions, we usually miss out on true happiness.
I've come to realize one of the worst things we can harbor is hate. It is the cancer of our soul. It does not affect the person we hate, it only affects the hater. Often times this hate is caused by a simple misunderstanding. Forgiveness is truly a cleansing of the mind that leads to a happy and rewarding life.
Best wishes to each one of you and may you enjoy the road to 99 as much as I have. Love you!!!

Happy Birthday! May you have many more and keep the "tales" coming. As a person who was borne in 43 I missed the great depression but, my Mom and Dad lived thru those years and they engrained in me many of their hard earned lessons. The primary one is "God is good." Again, Happy Birthday.

Happy, Birthday, Joe, and as many more as the Good Lord is willing!
I must admit that I hearken to your words a bit more than others, as my Dad was born in 1923, so I guess he could have been Charlie23 . . . except that he attended the other "cow college" with his GI Bill. Yep, after WWII, Dad went back home to NJ from the Pacific and promptly applied to two schools for textile chemistry: NC State and Clemson. So, my 4 brothers and I were all born in Raleigh. (Sadly, Dad passed in 1994.)
Thus, when I read your posts, such as this one, I enjoy them in a sort of "generational light", for your words carry the wisdom of that generation's experience, experience enough that you understand and duly proclaim that these are the good old days, a sentiment my own father would have shared! So I thank you! And I thank the Maker for your longevity, and wish you many happy days ahead.
Go, Tigers!

Kidding of course. It’s amazing how far we have come in such a relatively short amount of time. What’s even more amazing are the ones who have been there and seen it all. Many lessons to be learned from that post. Here’s to triple digits and many more enlightening posts over the next year.
Happy Birthday Joe!!!

Wow,99!
Congratulations.
However I have to think "the good old days" are going to be gone forever.
Think the 1929 Depression was bad. Just wait till next year.
And I won't even go into "Hate", not when the Left Wing media think more highly of Fidel Castro or worse yet Hitler than they do of Donald Trump.
No ,my friend we won't ever see America the same way again.
Just my opinion.

Your last sentence was the best. Hate is a contagious disease that many have been stricken with.
I can’t wait to read your post next year. Happiest of ?? Birthdays.

Thank you for your insight and wisdom! Your generation has much to teach those of us who came after, especially those who came after the Vietnam War era. We're generally spoiled and coddled and don't know what it's like to have your freedoms at risk.
Thank you and happiest of birthdays to you!

and sincerely hope you make it to 100 and beyond.
I think you have it made now. As George Burns once said, he was happy to have reached the age of 90, because he heard that not many people die past that age.

Wow... Just wow... I could listen to you talk all day about your life. It is amazing how a few paragraphs can help me put things in their proper perspective. My daughter and her husband are living in Virginia and don't have enough vacation to come down for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I just decided, right now, that we would drive up and see them this weekend. My wife, son, and I will have Thanksgiving dinner with my 91 year old parents on Thursday and drive up to Richmond Friday.
My Thanksgiving just got a whole lot better!!!
Thank you Joe for the words of wisdom, and may God bless you and yours.
