I'm so old:

1. I remember when Michael Jordan was on the 1984 Olympic basketball team (before he became "Air Jordan").

2. When elementary school age girls wore dresses to school (I did. I had a bunch of them back then).

3. When Carl Lewis became the fastest man in the world (1984).

4. The execution of Charlie Brooks in Texas (he was the first person executed by lethal injection. It was the first time they used this method, which is most popular now).

5. Rosie Ruiz was an imposter in the New York Marathon (or was it Boston? I can't remember now).

I'm so old I remember when the Brady Bunch, Partridge Family and Love American Style were the "hot" sitcom line-up for Friday nights.

I remember when you could still buy colored toilette paper to match your bathroom.

I remember when all tv was black and white. I remember when the days tv ended with the Star Spangled Banner and then the test pattern stayed up until tv began again at aroun 6-7 am.

I remember the first tv dinners. They were in an aluminum tray with aluminum foil over the top. If you got a cheaper one it had three areas for food, but if you got the "fancy" one it had a tiny dessert place in it as well. Fried chicken with mashed potatoes was always my favorite.

I remember going to carnivals where you could win a goldfish if you got you ping pong ball in the fish bowl of water. I liked trying to win the carnival glass by throwing your coins and hoping they landed and stuck on a plate etc. I remember my father telling me they highly oiled them to make it harder for the coins to stick.
