100 years

This is for a week I missed. Have you ever thought on how hard it must have been to live 100 years ago? It would be so hard. If you had to cook a snack or something just for dinner you would have to get a fire going in the stove and then you would be able to cook something. My families microwave broke a couple of weeks ago and it was so weird and time consuming to just warm up a piece of chicken or if you wanted to warm up some spaghetti you would have to put the spaghetti in a pan then carefully heat it up and while you are doing that you have to heat up the sauce again on the stove and wait for it to be done. Now days we get the noodles then put the sauce on it and stick it in the microwave for a minute and vwala, it is ready. Back then you didn’t have a dryer or washer so you had to wash each thing by hand and now we wine if we have to put some soap in the washer and turn the knob, it is so hard. Writing this reminded me of a journal we had to write for English class. We watch this video were this guy talks about if anybody has to wait because there cell phone isn’t working, and instead of just waiting till we have reception people now day just freak out because there cell phone isn’t working. Watch this video if you already haven’t. http://copywriterunderground.com/2009/02/11/we-live-in-an-amazing-amazing-world-and-its-wasted-on-the-crappiest-generation-of-spoiled-idiots/
Well back to the topic, I can’t even imagine living 100 years ago where, yes; you did have to go all the way outside to a wooden building to go to the bathroom. Can you imagine, those of you that have gone on scout camp, to go your life going to the bathroom in a smelly, stinky, poop filled outhouse. YUCK!!!!! Can you imagine not have a shower just down the hall from your bedroom. Instead you have to go to the river and bathe. There was no running water and no hot water unless you wanted to go chop some fire wood and put it in the stove, get a fire burning and boil the water. That would take, from people now days point of view, a lifetime. I was watching Smallville, you might have seen it, well anyways Clark Kent loses his powers and he is amazed on how hard it is to just get through the day. We are kind of like Clark because we take everything for granted and don’t realize how hard it was to live a long time ago.
