Do you get nostalgic over anything? From looking at old photos to remembering holidays or TV shows?
All three of our children love looking at photographs and asking questions or remembering when they were taken.
Hubby and I love to remember old adverts on TV, especially the songs. Something will trigger off a memory and one or both of us will start singing or remember the 'saying' from an advert back home. It's pretty pathetic but it makes us laugh.
Sometimes we will also remember the times when the kids were little and the things that they would get up to, especially now they are all (almost) teenagers.
All the time Ben, love to look back on all of the above, only yesterday did I find a video of Dan when he was 13, and he asked if he sounded like that now!
Wish I could post it, It made me grin.
I live for nostalgia and regale my American missus with dollops of it at every opportunity, she is not that impressed.
I wish I was a kid again and stay a kid so I could play all day and never have to go to work. That's my favourite piece of nostalgia -)
I like listening to the Steve Wright in the Afternoon show on Radio two because I swear he's kept the same jingle since the eighties.
Thinking of radio, I'm going to see if I can listen to the shipping forecast. Reminds me of my dad sitting in the dining room listening to it on an old 60's 70's radio.

I get nostalgic when j see programes or just hear music from the 60/70 and see movies from that time ,some of them depicting the movie theatres as they where .the darkness ,the intimacy .
also pics of the area in london i lived in ....
but we all move on
I'm terrible for nostalgia!! It seems like every other thing I watch on the TV or listen to makes me nostalgic and therefore homesick neutral
(cue violins.....)
I have decided to try to avoid nostalgia for a while - it's been a bit of an obsession with me over the past couple of years and so it's time for me to get back to the present and enjoy life now.
Nope. I live in the moment and the future. I am self-centered and egotistical, I'm only really concerned with my happiness, I don’t give jot about what happened yesterday, just but what about I am going to get today and tomorrow. The past is boring.
It's been forced on me as I downsize. I did a lot before I moved, but in some cases, I wasn't done so the movers moved everything from some rooms. I am still sorting, in between getting set up here..
I try to avoid it, as it makes me homesick. However it is difficult sometimes. On the up side it has inspired me to appreciate the time I spend witht he little wonders as I know at some point in the future they will be off on their own and I will miss these times too.
the past directly influences our everyday lives, without a frame of reference we lose all ability to make decisions based on judgement and hindsight - being nostalgic is just a way to reflect on the good times we remember.
I get pangs of nostalgia for moments in time from my previous life in the UK, but there's so much going on here that I'm still thrilled by the whole shock of the new and finally managing to adjust to it accordingly.
I'm still in touch with people from my home town though most of them wish they were somewhere else, it was good to visit and sitting in the pub on a rainy sunday afternoon getting quietly drunk on the local ale- I had a few stabs of nostalgic recall perched on the barstool- but that was enough.
Pretty soon there'll be the next wave of pop culture nostalgia and recycling of fashions from the 1990's and beyond, so for now I'll keep me head down and gob shut 8)
Howzabout a little reverse nostalgia?
We just had the summer swim/dive team awards. it was a community thing. A close community thing. A thing about kids exercizing and having fun. I wish I could have been there when I was a kid. I wish that happened in the UK.
