Your know you are old when?

[chick4chicks]

you know you are old when a friend tells you her Dad is so old and it turns out he is your age.

You start to wonder if you're GETTING old when your physician is the age of your last child.

what makes me feel old is that when my parents were my age I thought they were so old, and I was 18.

You know you are old when you remember the followingunless, of course, you are so old you are losing your memory)

Candy cigarettes , dot candy strips, Wax coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water inside & penny candy that was actually a penny. Clove and Teaberry chewing gum
Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles with non-twist off metal caps with cork liner

45RPM Records, HiFi, cassette tapes and 8-tracks. Reel-to-reel tape recorders. Corded dial phones with a word prefix (Madison 6-9999)
Party lines. "video" camera with out sound. Blue flash cubes.

When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up. Black and white, Rabbit ears with foil. Getting up to change the channel. No tv ratings. Drive ins

15 cent McDonald hamburgers. Little toys in cereal boxes. 45 RPM's on the back of cereal boxes.

Home milk delivery in glass bottles . Metal ice cube trays with levers
6 inch tall freezers inside the fridge.

P. F. Flyers and keds, pixie haircuts, pompadours and cat eyeglasses

Peashooters, roller skate keys, cork pop guns, cap guns

Beanie and Cecil , Howdy Doody , Mickey Mouse club, Dick Clark, Kookla,Fran and Ollie, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Atom Ant

The Fuller Brush man

The "twist", "mashed potatoes", and "funky-chicken"

A quarter allowance that was enough to get into the matinee

When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking -- all for free -- every time! And, you didn't pay for air either, and you got trading stamps to boot!

When people went steady, the stork brought babies, fart was a cuss word.

When stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals, because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger.
When drinking water came from the tap only. Bottles were glass. Liters were foreign

The neighbors names were Mrs and Mr so-and-so


there is so much more.. I just don't remember

You know you are old when you stop sucking in your gut when you walk by a mirror, into a bar or in front of a group of people.

 

[SuperChicken007]

I could hardly guess- i'm not even in my teens- but i got this from a movie:

You know you're getting old when your backseat driver tells you that by picking out your gray hairs she can make you ten years younger in just minutes.

YKYAOW
Your first set of dishes came in the powdered laundry soap box, you remember collecting Green stamps and you couldn't wait for the Sears & Roebucks Catalog to be delivered!

I knew I was old, when my son got the same kindergarten teacher I had.

So would that mean that I am "old fashioned" becuase I am considered "young" yet can say that I have had, gone through, or done at least half of that stuff???
