25 things dissapearing from America

[Sgt Floyd]

theres alot of farms where I live. Most of them are cattle farms though. Theres a goat farm and a cow farm both about 2 minutes away by car. And amazingly they dont stink

theres even an ostridge (not sure if thats spelled right) farm about 10 mintutes away

speaking of things disappearing, the gray wolf is back on the endangered species list

poor wolves. they are so misunderstood. They are such beautiful creatures. I'd be so upset if they went extinct (in case you haven't figured out already, I love wolves)

There's wolfs around where I live. But unfortunately that have to face traffic among other obstacles

Let's see...

1. Pit toilets - Won't the hillbillies be sad?
2. Yellow Pages - How are people not using these anymore?
3. Classified Ads - I guess the internet will offing the "Help Wanted" signs in the windows too.
4. Movie Rental Stores - Are people getting THIS lazy?
5. Dial-up Internet - I'm not sure if I use this anymore, but I think I'm not
6. Phone Landlines - I have cordless phones
7. Blue Crabs - Never eat 'em anyway. And now, I may never will
8. VCRs - I still use mine to tape/watch things; DVR is a little expensive. Plus, I can keep these in secret from my family
9. Ash Trees - Never heard of these
10. Ham Radio - Not surprised
11. The swimming hole - I was just swimming in a creek the other day!
12. Answering machines - Our main phone holder has a built in one, so I can see them getting the axe
13. Cameras with Film - True, now with digital
14. Incandesent Bulbs - Good, now we can be eco-friendly
15. Bolwing Alleys - So bowling alleys in family-fun areas are in favor of stand-alone bowling alleys eh? I'd prefer to go a Grown-Up alley.
16. The Milkman - Haven't they not be around for, like, decades?
17. Hand Written letters - Reminds me of someone is my class who had to use a small typing machine 'cause his handwriting was horrible.
18. Wild Horses - Uh oh
19. Personal Checks - Does mean checking accounts go too?
20. Drive-Ins - None near me. I've been to one once, and I "saw" Seabiscut (I fell asleep during it, but I did watch the Bugs Bunny cartoon at the start)
21. Mumps/Measles - And that's bad?
22. Honey Bees - That's not good
23. News Magizines + TV News - I never watched them anyways
24. Analog TV - My friend doesn't have cable, but he'll have to get it soon
25. Family Farms - Who else is gonna pick the crops?

Movie Rental Stores - Are people getting THIS lazy

I believe so.

Let's see...

1. Pit toilets - Won't the hillbillies be sad?

You have no idea how hard I laughed at that!

 

[Sgt Floyd]

Let's see...

1. Phone Landlines - I have cordless phones

Even if its cordless, if its not a cell phone, then doesnt it work on a landline? I'm probably wrong though

Let's see...

[*]Pit toilets - Won't the hillbillies be sad?

I don't see how someone could use them. I don't even like portapotties.

Yellow Pages - How are people not using these anymore?

You know, the decline of the yellow book isn't exactly a bad thing... I mean, if people use computers or good ol' 411, then think of all the trees that will be saved.

Movie Rental Stores - Are people getting THIS lazy?

Indeed they are. i'm not even going into online movies, pirated or legal... but the fact that people are that lazy makes me think it's not just McD's fault for the health of this country.

VCRs - I still use mine to tape/watch things; DVR is a little expensive. Plus, I can keep these in secret from my family

I'm thinking of throwing mine away. I mean, it's on its way out... and I only watch a few things that aren't on DVD on them...

Cameras with Film - True, now with digital

I'm going to miss instant polaroid film. Even digital's not that fast. You still need to use a printer. However, artists will continue to use classic film cameras.

Incandesent Bulbs - Good, now we can be eco-friendly

Problem is, those new florecent spiral bulbs aren't as eco-friendly as everyone wants to think. You need a hazmat team to throw it out... especially if you accidentally break one.

The Milkman - Haven't they not be around for, like, decades?

I haven't heard of milkmen outside of the 1950's...

Family Farms - Who else is gonna pick the crops?[/LIST]

Without turning political, migrant workers.... nonunion migrant workers they can pay pennies an hour for a living wage. These of course, are big business run farms...

Even if its cordless, if its not a cell phone, then doesnt it work on a landline? I'm probably wrong though

I was thinking the same thing but I wasn't sure if he meant that h was still using a land line or if he thought that cordless didn't need a land line. So I was afraid to answer as I did not know what he meant by his comment
