Skateboarders where cool and much respected.

We took skates apart to "make" a skate board.
In my day, gardening wasn't a hobby, it was a necessity. So was picking fruit when in season. The women folk canned everything they could. Home made bread was baked. Dinning out was never an option.
We have a bakery around here that makes an unseeded rye bread with a crust that you could break a tooth on.
I love good bread. My mother baked sour dough bread and the neighbor lady baked french bread. They swapped loafs weekly so we had a variety. Both breads were excellent. I was gifted a bit of sour dough starter from a lady years ago and tried my hand at duplicating my mother's bread. No such luck. 
She put her self through school by working in a small town bakery. She had the touch.
I could go with some heavy crust rye bread... sounds great!

I remember baking my breads and other goods along with canning the fruits from the yard.

When I was a kid we had appl and pear trees, and abouyt30 feet along the fence which was all raspberry and loganberry canes. Oh, and redcurrants, white currents and Gooseb erries. a neighbour had a loely peach tree as well. We used a lot of Kilner Jars to preserve the fruit, and made Jam and Wine with the rest. - I still make wine, Blackberry wine in a few weeks.

In my day, we just sat together in swimming class and burst out in laughter, because there was a shark in a tube top, then we quickly ran
In my day I visited many libraries.
In my day I would have never considered wearing a mask into my bank
And along the same lines, in my day I would have never taken my shoes off at the airport.

In my day, people would not rip us off, but crap always is smelliest when the library ripped me off.

……… .. in my day… we could get into a "school-yard-phite"…… ..and live!
Along the same line... In my day a gun or a knife was never under consideration in a fight.

I agree!
Also to go along with that: In my day, after a good fight, the two became best buddies from that point on!

And in my day (same time frame, just different place of course) weapons we're used and things got ugly.
I'm sorry to hear that.. indeed. There is something honorable about a gentlemen's fight.
In my day clothes were purchased without rips and holes in them.
