35 Things Our Kids Will Miss Out On

I came across another version of this list on Facebook last week and had to tweak it just a bit to add my own take on it because it's just too much fun to sit and consider all the extinct aspects of growing pains that are now long forgotten.

Feel free to add more in comment section below.

1. The thrill of Blockbuster on Friday night (and the heat ache of intended flicks being sold out) and forever big eyes for the ever changing row of "NEW RELEASES"

2. Call waiting. And, "waiting" In general . . .

3. The blood sweat and tears that go into mixed tapes for the loved ones you hope will cherish it.

4. TV Guide
