I'm so old I remember when everyone was amazed when seeing Evel Knievel jump his motorcycle over 2 cars.

My father and his brother, sisters and mom listened to that, and realized it was a radio program. No one (of sound mind and normal intelligence) thought that aliens were landing.

I'm so old I remember when my grandparents took me to Disney World the year it opened, and remember the Hall of Presidents wasn't finished and Space Mountain was still under construction.

I'm so old I remember watching shows like Davey & Goliath, Kimba The White Lion, The Time Tunnel, The Dick Van Dyke Show, etc.

I'm so old I remember the era without cell phones and computers.

I'm so old I remember being in the back of the station wagon driving to my Aunt's house listening to my boom box in 1970 when The Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin came on and have to this day been hooked on metal music.

I'm so old I remember spinning LP's, playing cassettes and 8-Tracks (which I despised).

I'm so old I remember Drive-In theaters before the disappeared (but have thankfully grown back a bit).

I'm so old I remember driving down to FL from MA and enjoying the highway Howard Johnson's stop which was so much better than these highway service stations of today.

I'm so old there are so many things I can't remember.

heck yeah, we had a 4 track player in a 62 Buick Skylark that we bought in 1968. We were poor, my husband was in the Air Force so we only had one tape for it, Otis Redding. I still remember the words to "Dock of the Bay" and occasionally find myself mindlessly singing it while I clean house

Who remembers Shirley Temple the movie star.

I was her age as a little kid (1930's) and had the hots for her even with a picture by my bedside.

Why not, at a early age all boys have raging hormones including yours truly.
