Where do YOU live? And how old are your kids?

Upper Montgomery County - Germantown/Gaithersburg area. My kids are now teens but have played/rode bikes in our very safe neighborhood with the other neighborhood kids since they were 10 or so, and they were older than a lot of the other kids before I allowed them to play outside for extended periods of time without coming to check in repeatedly. This is not unusual at all in the nice neighborhoods in our area, and is one of the reasons a lot of us choose to live out in the suburbs.

Well goody for you. Just sit back and clutch your pearls and continue to feel sorry for a lot of people.

Oh, the other reason we live out here is so we don't have to live near snarky people like you, PP.

Or near people with the ability to speak and write grammatically correct sentences. "have....rode bikes" is particularly worrisome.

Couldn't it mean "have played in our very safe neighborhood" and "rode bikes in our very safe neighborhood"?

Let's go to the tanning salon.

Go outside and get some of those mushrooms for dinner.

Vegetables are for girls. I'm a meat and potatoes man.

That's gay.

That's retarded.

Totally. I was advised to put a quarter and dime in my shoe on dates in case I needed to use a pay phone. Also remember "double buckling" so more kids could fit in the car.

Card catalogues and dewy decimal system

Card catalogs may be gone, but they haven't done away with the dewey decimal system.

I'm assuming you're referring to what people did in renaissance times: defenestration. Because if you grew up just throwing things out a window in the last hundred years, it was called just being slovenly or politically murderous. That scene in Mad Men where they just threw the trash on the grass--it was unrealistic. Only pigs would ever do such a thing. Now they might throw trash down a ravine or into a river. But just dump it out on the open grass? Uptight suburbanites from Westchester would never do this, ever.
