I'm so old I Remember when:

Those shoes weren't even my biggest, just my favorites, which likely accounts for my lousy knees, today

Nah. I never wore heels or anything like those and my knees are shot too. May have something to do with just outliving my warranty, lol.

I am so old I remember when we wore those dangerous platform shoes!

I loved platform shoes and I was still weary them in 1999 and
I was at Bellingraph Gardens walking down an incline and stumbled and fell down and I just had to sit there for a few minute before I could get up and a couple saw me and brought me some wet paper towels and helped me to a bench

That was the last time I wore platform sandals

Anyone else watch these debt reduction commercial and think……there’s someone getting out of their obligation and pushing the shortage onto others shoulders in the form of higher interest rates or fees? Or is it just me?

I remember when jams (brightly colored and patterned baggy shorts) were in. Since my mom was a seamstress I got to pick the fabric and always had the illest ones

Oh my gosh! I sure hope you were ok afterwards.

I remember when we were kids, we listened to our tunes on vinyl records. And not because it was cool or retro, but because that's how music came back then Then we went through cassette tapes, floppy discs, CDs, mp3 players, and now people don't even own music anymore, they just stream it from places...

I was moving things in the storage room the other day and came across a paper grocery sack chick full of cassettes. Now if I only had something to play them on.

Those shoes weren't even my biggest, just my favorites, which likely accounts for my lousy knees, today! Definitely! I wasn't 5' tall at the time, so that was the whole point! I actually wore heels like that all the time. That day, I made the mistake of trying to negotiate the band room stairs carrying my instrument, an oversize concert folder and all of my books (we weren't allowed backpacks back in "the old days.)
I shoulda made two trips. That would have avoided the one really BIG one ... down the stairs!

Did you ever dance in them?

You can get a cassette player on Amazon!

My mom kept all our childhood vinyl records and cassette tapes, and the players. I put them on when I visit… such a powerful feeling, music memory.
