I Am So Old...

(this is the theme)

 

I remember during ballads at concerts people held up Bic lighters instead of smartphones.

 

 

(No politics!)

        I'm so old, I remember a potbelly wood stove as the only heat in the house.  On cold mornings we'd rush in the kitchen to gather around it.

          Buying a chocolate frappe at the Woolworths in my downtown in the late 60's with my paper route tips. They were so good!

            I remember Bozo the Clown, Captain Kangaroo and the Mickey Mouse Club on tv, AM radio stations, and having a coal furnace to heat my house.

              @Jerseystorm  Your post reminded me of Jack LaLanne in his red jumpsuit doing exercises on his show.  Also Romper Room,  Romper, bomper, stomper boo.  Good memories.  A funny little trivia fact, Jack LaLanne's wife was Elaine LaLanne, love it!

                      And in glass returnable milk bottles.  The cream always rose to the top and had to be mixed before using.

                        Did Chrysler's PT Cruisers remind anybody else of the Milk Delivery Trucks?

                            Wow Shari!  Isn't THAT the truth!   

                            I am so old, I remember:

                            When respect was the norm.

                            When the corner store had hardwood floors and penny candy at the cash register.

                            When ladies wore hats and gloves.

                            When swear words were not a part of everyday, normal conversation.

                            Wringer washers and drying clothes outside on the clothesline.

                            Never having "snow days" or "starting school 2 hours later." 

                            Wooden sleds and snow boots with metal buckles.

                              I remember when the ice house and the swimming hole were the best places to cool off in the summertime.

                                  I remember waking up to the sound of metal garbage cans.
