AN ODE TO RABBIT EARS...SO LONG MY WIRE FRIEND

Thank you Earl! I appreciate you compliment and your comment to the highest.

earl lives in a cabin..go figure..haha earl..who knows what u have in ur house from the past..anyway I am not sentimental..i am moving with the times..though I remember watching "Rawhide" and I don't mean reruns..sorry unlike McCain..the Insane.,I love PDA's an d Blackberries, I only lament the idea that books may be not be on a library shelf someday..oh well I guess there will be a new subtext of anthropology called Virtual anthro..funny blog.

Thanks for your feedback Marta! Love you super girl! I'm sentimental over books too!

...You may even laugh at me. Give my friend a decent goodbye. Afterall, it's doom for my wire friend..."

LoL>>> Miisrael you aren't serious at all. Oh my those rabbit ears were the best. You forgot to mention the black and white shows of Mr. Ed The Talking Horse, The LongRanger, and what about Greenacres. Girl we are having to throw out the first RCA T.V. I bought after graduation from the university. You know the one before the flat screen kind came out. I don't like all this change. I want to keep my television, but the technology is outdated according to my husband. Uggggggh!

I agree with Mozell. The days of the rabbit ears might be over, but we are being introduced to new and improved problems like problems from weather...You can't bang on the TV to fix that issue or add aluminum foil to a cable wire. I will miss the rabit ears but it's time to move on I guess.

Love your blog. It certainly brought back memories for me. Do you remember the sheet that was sold, to give your black and white shows a little color? Blue at the top, green at the bottom and red, I think in between. Along with the rabbit ears that's my fondest memory; watching Bonanza (the first time around) in those 'glorious' colors. Thanks for the memories.

Thank you for your input everybody. Jen, I was actually serious, but I know it seems comical. I have attachment to many old things. I collect odd items. I understand moving on to newer things, but everything new is not always better or good for us. It's good to remember the old ways. Thanks ya'll.

hmmmmmmmm memories of the beautiful past of black and white tv is what this millenium children are missing. The past was beautiful and fun but we cant bring it back. Why did you open such an old memory?. It is good to remember

Seems you are a curious one. I am aware it passes away, but deeply within me, someone must remember the "old ways" the ancient paths. New ways, are exciting and they too one day will pass away. Here is why I will remember in a bibical scripture: Jeremiah 6:16-17 (NIV) This is what the Lord says: "Stand at the crossroads and look: ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, "We will not walk in it." I appointed watchmen over you and you said, "We will not walk in it." "Listen to the sound of the trumpet!" But you said. "We will not listen." I find as ancient and old as things get. We must remember that the old ways are good, and new ways may not always be so. You understand now? Like you said "It is good to remember." Thanks you Asore.

I remember! Having to turn the dial by hand instead of remote control. My dad used to yell at us when we would turn the knob too fast. My kids don't understand, they've grown up with a remote control since birth! If I understand you right, Miisrael, it seems we get moving too fast, with all the technology, and so much is lost, not just the rabbit ears and old TVs. I remember hearing the planes break the sound barrier and make a big BOOM! There wasn't anything to be afraid of when playing in a pile of dirt at a local construction area, and pretending to cook with grandma's old pots and pans, making great culinary creations with dirt, plants, rocks and water. Seems like it's all disappearing, except for the memories. Thank you for this post. It brings truly dear memories back, that I don't even have photos of, to remember. Thank you!
