      True. If I think that most people I hung out with and considered very close just 10 years ago are nothing but complete strangers to me nowadays already it's amazing. But real friends in life are few. Very few, at the end of the day. Most are just like movie extras. They come n' go.

    The McDonalds from the 1989 video seemed so warm and inviting. It's a place where you would actually dine, instead of a glorified convenience store.
    The workers also seemed happy too. Hard to believe it's the same exact McDonalds.

      honestly i'm prob in the minority here but i like McDonald's current look
      i feel like the McDonald's when i was a kid growing up (born in 1988) always looked and felt really grimy and cheap. i remember it was the late 2000s when they really started to change the interior of the place and that's when i felt it was more "homey"

      You guys missed the 70s that's when it was the best, up until early 80s , the price was stupid cheap, I think it was a quarter for a burger and 35 for cheeseburger. it stayed like that for a while, then mid 80s is when it went up a large jump, and the 2000 it went up double

Eeryone should spend as much time as possible with their mother. Because at some point they won't be there anymore. And no one, absolutely no one, will love you as much as your own mother or father.

    It is amazing how quickly the years go by.
    I was 12 in 1989, about your age, I suppose. Yet, from 1989, it just seems to have gone so quickly. Like you get bogged down in finishing middle school, finishing high school, finishing college, establishing a career, finding a woman to marry, going through the dating, the engagement, the wedding, followed by more working in a monotonous job, along with raising children, that it just goes by without you really much figuring that you are over halfway finished with your life.
    I am now 45, but when I was 42 and the doctor said I was getting old, it seemed surreal. I guess the gray beard, baldness, aches and pains and less agility prove it, but it doesn't seem like it should be this soon.
    Just looking at your mom then, who was like almost ten years younger than I am now, and seeing that she is now 70, it puts into perspective just how short life really is.
    Cherish the time with your mom. Both of my parents have passed and I wish I could spend more time with them.

      I grew up in the 80s and 90s, too. 43 and will be 44 at the end of Feb. So, 44 is nearly here hopefully. Not that I am happy to be getting older, but I hope that I will not be ded in that almost 3 month period of time and--from what I can tell--I rarely, if ever feel sickly(although I am T2 diabetic). And, I did have some decent times there(first b-day party that I remember was there). That being said, I know innocence is bliss, but anyone heard of Mickey D's stories hueman flessh and perishless food?! Though I ate there aplenty in the 1st 7/8 of my life: since I found out who they were, I do not plan on eating there ever again!

      @@phildodson6141 My dad passed five years ago, and my mom passed ten years ago. My mom didn't even get to see my children and only saw one of her grandchildren, my brother's son. My dad saw all of his grandchildren, but because I was an older dad, the oldest was four years old when he passed. She remembers him, but my youngest daughter doesn't. She knows him only by pictures.
      I do prefer that time. The world is so evil now. I think we are in the end times. The governments have been taken over by principalities of evil.
      I much prefer the music, shows, movies, etc. of the 90s to today. Nearly every pop song I get an earful of sounds like crap. The crap the young adults listen to and like sounds awful, void of using instruments. No real talent, just a mass produced pile of dung. It is why I don't listen to it. I have heard of maybe five good pop songs in the past five years, and that is it. Country is deteriorating as a genre, too, though the rot set in at a later time than it did with pop. Rock is hardly even given airtime, and what I do hear is subpar to the stuff of the 80s and 90s.
      People used to make fun of groups like Nelson, but honestly, they sound ten times better than anything you hear today. Bon Jovi, Firehouse, etc were all superior to what we have today. Today's music is becoming increasingly garbage.
      One genre is good, Christian praise and worship, and along with the good message, the talent is far superior to those in pop.

      Keep your immune system strong going in through winter. My brother is a diabetic and nearly died from covid last year in December, but that could have been avoided if the corrupt hospital would have treated him properly with antibiotics and steroids when he first went in. They let it go on for like another week till he was at a point of near death. Thankfully, God pulled him through, and we saw a miracle after I sent out a mass call for prayer. Vitamin D and Vitamin C are really important.
      I'm prediabetic, so I also need to watch what I eat better than I do. I also had covid, "delta variant", and I was sick for about two months. Had pneumonia, but it wasn't as bad as my brother.
      I'm convinced that covid is a "by-0-wepin", intended to be the scare tactic to get the "jabba juice", another "wepin".

    In 2006, McDonald's had the renovation that you see now in all their restaurants called "Forever Young" to be appealing to older customers like us. The older McDonald's that you saw int the 80's was a Ray Kroc design that was implemented in 1968. So by the 1990's when you saw the bright yellow roofs and red paint it was just a band aid before the redesigns that you see today were going to be implemented.

      I don't see how the new look in McDonald's is appealing to old people. I don't know any old people that would eat that garbage anyway.

      Yeah but sadly even that renovation, which wasn't that bad, has been replaced by the current dull grey lofty ikea nordic ski lodge look....

      I was 22 in ‘89. Dang, I could have had a kid back then, and filming it myself! That would been a trip if “my kid” and I did a video 33 years later.

    9:38 I live in France and I can guarantee you this is a cultural shock right there !😲 If such a sign was put in a restaurant in France, people would immediately protest, rip it off the wall or they'd most likely just leave the restaurant. I can't conceive seing that kind of sign here.

      I don't patronize fast food places but then again, we don't have nice things in the United States due to corporate greed. I can't remember the last time I was in a McDonalds, perhaps back in the 1980's or so.

    What a blessing to be able to still go to McDonald's with your mom. Sadly, I can no longer do it. I wish I had a time machine to go back to the 1970s and have a McDonald's run with my mom one more time. Eating hamburgers in the front seat of her Dodge Dart. No inside seating at the McDonald's we used to go to on the Kirkwood Highway in Northern Delaware. Just to have one more opportunity to thank her for doing the best she could. Great video and it looks like your mom has a great sense of humor. Let's go to Guitar Center next!
