Ok, that is enough from the internet. I will go back to my own stories, just thought I would insert the above published jokes to give you a break in my stuff.

I am so old I remember rotary dial telephones, party lines, and operators.
I am so old that I remember steam locomotives on the railroad.
I am so old that I remember when they had the first hunting season for deer using archery (bows and arrows) only, no firearms.
I remember learning to drive a car with a manual transmission; my Grandfather's 1940 Ford.
I am so old I owned a 1957 Chevy Convertible.
I am so old that I remember. . I remember. . I remember. . ? Well, maybe I don't remember quite as well as I used to. Now, reminisce about the good old days but also have a great day today, you hear?

Being older than you by a few years, I remember those things also, except for the hunting with bows & arrows - I knew nothing about that. I really miss the old phones but not the operators listening in on the lines, or having a "party line". Many things are faster and more convenient today, but not all of them are better.
ReplyDeleteThose were the good ole days, for sure, but today will be some youth's good ole days.
DeleteGeorge Burns...classic.
ReplyDeleteI am child of the 80's. I remember before the internet and now.

DeleteI was born during World War Two, so I am really old. . . but there is a young teenager inside of me that keeps trying to get out.
DeleteI remember dial phones, party lines and operators, but I never had a '57 Chevy!
ReplyDeleteYou missed out. There was nothing like being young and driving around in a souped up 57 Chevy with the top down.
DeleteI'm so old I remember: Sears had wooden floors and ceiling fans and elevator operators who announced each floor, kids had heavy roller skates with a key, our old house used square nails, pranksters turned over outhouses on Halloween, milk came in glass bottles with crimped paper lids, I lived before the "plastic" age, my mother gave us sandwiches wrapped in leaky wax paper. Gee, kinda miss those days . . .
ReplyDeleteYep, those were the good old days and I sure do miss them.
DeleteThe good ole days they were, milk delivery to your home in glass bottles with a horse drawn milk wagon, The ice man delivering ice for your ice box, the outhouse, and well water with a hand pump, the old radio stories. Quite a few cars from the 1950's, Fords, Volvo, Plymouth, Mini minor, Pontiac, 1950 Chevy, and more.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, those days when we were young and had no real problems. I enjoyed my youth although I had some not so nice illnesses.
DeleteWhen I was a child (I was born in 1947) we had a "Rag Man" that drove a horse drawn cart down our alley and would collect old "rags". The only color cars sold were black. That's all I can remember right now, my mind just isn't what it used to be, haha.
ReplyDeleteHey Linda, I am four years older than you are. Yep, I was born in 1943.
