God Bless the 1% percenters!!

THE ONE PERCENTERS-99 % of those born between 1930 and 1946 (worldwide) are now dead.

. If you were born in this time span, you are one of the rare surviving 1%'ers of this special group.

Their ages range between 77 and 93 years old, a 16-year age span.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE 1% ERS:

You are the smallest group of children born since the early 1900s.

You are the last generation, climbing out of the Depression, who can remember the impact of a world at war that rattled the structure of our daily lives for years.

You are the last to remember ration books for everything from gas, to sugar, to shoes, to stoves.

You saved tin foil and poured fried meat fat into tin cans.

You can remember milk being delivered to your house early in the morning and placed in the "milk box" on the porch.

Discipline was enforced by parents and teachers.

You are the last generation who spent childhood without television; instead, you "imagined" what you heard on the radio.

With no TV, you spent your childhood playing outside.

We got "black-and-white" TV in the late 40s that had three stations and no remote.

Telephones were one to a house, often shared (party lines), and hung on the wall in the kitchen (no cares about privacy).

Computers were called calculators; they were hand-cranked.

Typewriters were driven by pounding fingers, throwing the carriage, and changing the ribbon

'INTERNET' and 'GOOGLE' were words that did not exist.

New highways would bring jobs and mobility. Most highways were 2 lanes.

You went downtown to shop. You walked to school

Your parents were suddenly free from the confines of the Depression and the War, and they threw themselves into working hard to make a living for their families.

You weren't neglected, but you weren't today's all-consuming family focus.

They were glad you played by yourselves.

You entered a world of overflowing plenty and opportunity; a world where you were welcomed, and enjoyed yourselves.

You felt secure in your future.

Polio was still a crippler. Everyone knew someone who had it.

You came of age in the '50s and '60s.

You are the last generation to experience an interlude when there were no threats to America.

World War II was over…and the Cold War, terrorism, global warming, and perpetual economic insecurity had yet to haunt life.

Only your generation can remember a time after WW II when our world was secure and full of bright promise and plenty.

You grew up at the best possible time, a time when the world was getting better.

More than 99% of you are retired now, and you should feel privileged to have "lived in the best of times!"

If you have already reached the age of 77 years old (how about mid 80s), you have outlived 99% of all the other people in the world who were born in this special 16-year time span.

You are a 1%'er".

I left a chapstick in my pocket that ruined my favorite sweat pants and a nice tshirt. I’ve done the kleenex thing too.
Lucky for me I don't carry my chapstick, I keep it by my bed. I think this was my worst forgotten kleenex episode yet. Because of allergies I just about always have 2 pockets full of kleenex.

A favorite pair of sweat pants, oh no!

That's a nice looking suit Santa has, with some bells too. Must need dry cleaning that Santa suit.

Now for the BIG QUESTION, is that you in your Sanata suit?

What a little cutie the girl is. Is she family to you, maybe a niece?

Question answered. Got it.

I'm like triple vaxxed and when I finally got COVID 19 I got a fever as high as 106. I probably would have died were I not vaccinated.
Go get another booster. 😂 It’s sure to work this time right? Remember way back when? All the powers that be said “if you get this vaccine, you won’t get covid.” What other vaccine can you think of that don’t actually prevent the illness??
