I'm so old I Remember when:

[Nomadicus]

I remember watching Big Brother 1984 on TV.

 

[The Moonshiner]

I remember getting my a$$ whipped with those plastic hot wheels tracks

 

[BarnyardChaos]

I remember when you could see the Milky Way clearly, and count and name other galaxies. The stars were so bright and numerous you didn't need a flashlight to see, even when there was no moon. And so close, it seemed you could reach right up and touch them. Oh how I miss that!

 

[-Chanticleer-]

I remember get my a$$ whipped with those plastic hot wheels tracks

Back when spankings/whoopings weren’t looked down upon.

 

[The Moonshiner]

Back when spankings/whoopings weren’t looked down upon.

Ya back when if you acted up in the store not only did other mothers not care they'd help hold you so your mom could get a proper swing in.

I remember when gas was less than 17¢ a gallon...

And you:

29.9¢ per gallon...

 

[fuzzi]

I remember 25¢ lunches at school.

4¢ for a carton of milk at school.

 

[Nomadicus]

From the first grade on I remember being told that if I got trouble in school I was in bigger trouble at home.

 

[LaurenRitz]

But can you forget what you're doing while doing it?

Absolutely, but that has nothing to do with my age. My brain has always had way too much going on, and it gets distracted.

 

[Debbie292d]

I remember reading the Hardy Boys books...

Encyclopedia Brown! Wow, I used to love those books!
