I remember when stretching out was something I did before exercise, instead of what I do on the couch afterward.

When you can remember only having three channels on TV to choose from, and on Saturday night "HEE HAW" was on all three.

When having an "eight track tape deck" was cool.

When having a casette player was cool.

When cable vision only had 12 channels.

When black and white TVs were cool to own.

When color TV first came out.

When "bell bottoms" were cool (the first time).

Gas was $0.11 per gallon regular and ethol was $0.13 per gallon
carton of cigarettes was $0.90.
dairy products were delivered to the front door before 6:00 am Mon-Fri.
Highway Patrol was the most popular show on Fri evening Sky King and Roy Rogers were tops on St.
hoola-hop skirts were worn buy girls in Junior and High school.
Saturday matinees (movies) were a nickle which include 1/2 hour of cartoons, 1/2 hour mini series then the main show, popcorn, soda and candy bars were a nickle each so a quarter bought you 2 1/2 hours of theater time and your parents a bay sitter for very cheap.
Biased ply tires were the only game in town and re-caps were the way to go to replace the old tires!

Your old if....

I found these...

You're getting old when...
Your sweetie says, "Let's go upstairs and make love," and you answer, "Honey, I can't do both!"

You're getting old when...
Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you're barefoot.

You're getting old when...
A sexy babe catches your fancy and your pacemaker opens the garage door.

You're getting old when...
You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.

You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor, instead of the police.

You're getting old when...
"Getting a little action" means, "I don't need to take any fiber today."

You're getting old when...
"Getting lucky" means you find your car in the parking lot.

I came to be towards the end of the 8 track era, but I still know what the pack of matches is for...

I remember when "I" was the remote control for the television set.
My older brother used to make me sit beside it, and he would make me change the channel or I would get a beating.

Then they came out with the gerald remote (or whatever it was called) big brown box that sat on top of the tv, and connected to a huge remote with a thick brown cable.

I was happy when that came out
