Oh my god, I am not going back in time ever. No indoor toilets... no TV... no puters... omg... I couldn't stand it... wait... that was my childhood... never mind... 6

I couldn't stand it... wait... that was my childhood... never mind... Lol at my father's parents you have to go out to use the toilets. They're indoor but you still have to go out as the whole house is in a L shape but with both parts separated. The bigger part is the kitchen, living room and bedroom. The smaller one is the toilets, bathroom and laundry room which are not insulated (let me tell you in winter when we went to visit them and my other grandparents who lived 10km away were still alive I'd rather wait till near explosion of my blader than freezing my ass in there!). The whole house as no radiator. The only source of heat is a oil/petrol stove in the living room. And they don't have a microwave! Edited February 12, 2019 by clochette 1 2 2 1

Looking back, the one thing I can claim, being born in 82, no World Wide Web or cell phones. We had a computer in the house, but mostly my dad used it. I would only get on to type reports for school and play Wolfenstien & Doom (when I was 12). Even then, games were really what the Nintendo was for. I didn’t even really start using the internet regularly till I was 15. What a rough life Edited February 12, 2019 by spikey582 6

What a rough life When my Mom left my bio-dad, we moved to a tiny house(one bedroom for my mom and us three boys) my grandmother had moved to a plot of land across from my cousins' farm. We had an outhouse, and had to pump our water from the neighbor's wellhouse, which, fortunately, wasn't too far from our house. We had an old wood cooking stove for heat... my mom loved that thing and we took it with us when we moved. We did have a small black and white TV that only got one channel. 4 1 2

I know, heatwave right ... the forecast is for 70/21° and partial sunshine. Yesterday was chill and rainy, my head ached terribly. Spent most of the day resting quiet and still had to resort to Haldol at bedtime. Blessed be. 3 1 2

My dad was a programmer and beta tester, so we had several working computers in the house by the early 90s. I got my first one of my own when I was 6, I think. It ran Widnows 95 a couple of months before Windows 95 actually came out, lol! We had dial-up but my computer wasn't connected. Then we got ISDN and I was allowed to very occasionally go online on my mum's computer if she wasn't using it. Also, have to tried the new Wolfenstein games? They are amazing! When life's getting me down, I fire one of them up on the lowest difficulty and go shoot myself some nazis, lol! 7 hours ago, Headstall said: When my Mom left my bio-dad, we moved to a tiny house(one bedroom for my mom and us three boys) my grandmother had moved to a plot of land across from my cousins' farm.

My great-grandmother didn't have an indoor toilet until I think the 1980s. She resisted for so long, and even after the toilet was installed she kept going to the outhouse for a long time, until she could no longer maintain it herself and had to give up.

Being new to COTT you are unfamiliar with my migraines. I have them nearly every day just not always severe ones. While they limit some of my day to day activity I am still able to do a lot. They could be much worse. I used to have a couple days every week when I was bedridden and medicated. A new medicine has helped and while I still have them a lot they aren't as severe. I count that a win and I'm still in the early phase of the treatment. Improvement is likely for another 3-8 months. 5 4

I've had the occasional migraine in the past, though nothing chronic. Sounds awful to have them so often. 6
