I'm so old I Remember when:

[Nomadicus]

I didn't have to opt for crazy rides on snow covered hills. I remember those snow white sandy beaches were we swam with the sharks on the costs and with gators inland.

I'm so old I remember when steer feed came in 100# burlap bags. Now I'm paying the price for those bags that FFA show steers ate. Lifting them out of a car trunk and walking them to the shed was doing unseen damage at the time to my back. Fertilizer also came in 100# bags. Did the same with them. Now chicken feed comes in 50# bags and I hate lifting them. Same with fertilizer.

I remember when black and white was the only tv option and when commercials were 15 to 30 seconds long, not the 5 minute informercials they are today.

…….and, I remember when drug companies sent salespeople to the doctors instead of making commercials to convince you to go be their salespeople.

That's why you duck behind the lip of the 'boggan, silly goose.

Be my luck something on me would snag, yank me off, sling me around, make sure I hit the barbed wire JUST RIGHT.

I remember when snowmobiles came out and careless people lost their heads going high speeds under a clothesline.

That's why you wore snow pants and heavy mittens.

... and if you had the right kind of snowpants/suit ... who needed a sled?!

We had the first color TV set in the neighborhood. We must've had every. single. kid. for miles around piled in my family room to watch our first color show ... Gilligan's Island!

Yup - but ya spelled "careless" wrong. We spelled it "stoopid!" I mean, really, who doesn't check the course before doing ANYTHING at breakneck speed? This is why warning labels are so nutso (Don't use the hair dryer in the bath tub.) and children have no freedom to play, anymore!
