I'm so old I remember... (Arizona, driver's license, free, the best)

I remember living in houses with Knob and Tube Electrical Wiring.

I remember hurting my finger in the clothes ringer

I remember when pagers were a big thing.

When it was cool to say "It's the bomb"

I remember when we had to record our favorite songs that were being played on the radio using a cassette tape.

I remember when Jonathan Taylor Thomas was everybody's crush.

I remember when walkmans were the best thing ever.

I remember Tommy Hilfiger & Nautica perfumes were the most popular to buy.

I'm so old that
i have dialed a rotary phone that
didn't have an answering machine.

Recorded a song that i love off a
transistor radio onto a tape recorder.

Watched a black and white tv (with less
than 10 channels) that had foil on the
rabbit ear antennas.
Taken a long walk without counting the steps.

And eaten food that i didn't take pictures of.

Having to attach your vehicle registration card to the steering wheel so police could see it if you were stopped for any reason. Now you have to hide it in your glove box.

I still miss wing windows on cars. I remember we had a car---probably a mid-1950s Chevy---that had a choke adjustment on the dashboard. We also had a Chevy Caprice c. 1972 that had fender skirts. Plus it had a little "thermostat" hanging from a corner of the dash, protected by a cage, for cabin temperature control. Remember how the seatbelts tucked under the clips above your head, ran along edges of the headliner?

Magazine ads, for things like trusses, whatever they were. Chinchilla farm starter kits. Earn money growing mushrooms under your bed. Ball-players selling Chesterfields in the Sunday comics. Ben-Gay relieves the green guy attacking you with a pitchfork. Wentworth Academy, a boot camp for wimpy boys in Virginia. 97-pound weaklings kicking sand in a brutes face as bathing beauties swoon. Eveready batteries lasting long enough to prevent a train wreck. Birthstone rings. Xray glasses that see through clothes.
