Regular naps prevent old age - Espcially if you take them while driving.

I'm so old I did that PLUS made it to town without a GPS!

I'm also so old I remember turning on the car radio/home radio/TV and waiting for it to " warm up". So the tubes would do their job.

I believe your social security number is "1"

I'm so old, I remember watching the nuuz with my Dad with Walter Cronkite.

Dimming headlights required using my left foot.

By golly

I can remember when you could marry 14 year old girls

I remember going down to the country to visit Great Uncle Roger and Aunt Mae
Going into the farm house the first room on the left had nothing but shotguns
leaning against the wall, all double barrel, all 12ga.

All the dogs were coon dogs or rabbit hounds

All the vehicles were pick-up trucks, except the one Uncle Roger drove,
it was a 38' Chevy

There boys Billy and Pat paid $50 for everything they bought
$50 for the shotguns, $50 for the hound dogs, $50 for the pick-ups

That's what they told me at the time, true dat!

I am so old we didn't talk about it.. we just said that those who didn't hunt or shoot were just "a little bit lavender"...

I am so old....I rode to town with my neighbors kids in the back of the truck that had a 6 foot high cattle pen in the bed....and we used to climb up it while going down the road.




Looked like the back of this one all the way around and a few feet taller!!

When I was a kid - my dad let me take off and walk through 120 acres of woods to access the town dump with 10/22's and a brick of 22lr in tow to shoot things. Old TV's, rats, bottles etc. Anything interesting.

No supervision, no return time, few rules and I was 8 years old.

Later as a teen I had 2 rules

1. Call if you're not coming home that night
2. Don't bother calling from jail

Used 1 all the time, never used 2.

"If you find your way into jail, you can find your way out!!"

Had those same rules at my house...

I'm so old I used to work on those...

I'm so old that "afternoon delight" means a bowel movement. My birth stone is lava.

I am so old I remember having to go borrow a metric wrench to work on something.....

I was watching cartoons on some Dallas station, I think a
it was Sunday morning.
Jack Ruby suddenly shot Lee Harvey Oswald.
I thought it was pretty strange.

I was at Fort Lenordwood in Basic training.

Gas was .42cents when I started driving.

Good advice, Hubert!!

I well remember running on fumes because I refused to pay any bandit .31 cents for a gallon of gas.

Today a nurse gave me a flu shot and couldn't figure out what the circular dime- sized scar was on my shoulder.

I’m so old that my pecker stays hard all of the time.

Thing is Petrified.

And starting your truck required using the right foot….

Wow. I fit a lot of those.
I remember when the first Ruger 10/22 came out and Bill Ruger was the new guy in the block.
Also had a party line - 2 shorts/1long and only had to dial 4 numbers for a local call.
All us pre-teens had our own 22s we went out after school with, by ourselves.
Lead paint on the window sills was ok for teething toy.
White walls were “cool” and no one had air conditioning.
White walls were a recent haircut also.
Criminals were on death row for months not decades.

And the air conditioner was a knob you pulled to open vents for introducing outside air.

A windshield defroster was a semi-clean rag.

While pulling out on the choke knob on the dash!

When I started pumping gas in our service station, regular was $ .25, ethyl was $ .26, and premium was $ .28 per gallon.

And yes, it was a service station. "Check under your hood ma'am?"

Check the oil, tire pressure, wash windows, and top off the burlap water bag hanging from the front bumper.

Any of you whippersnappers ever even heard of "ethyl"?

If not - get the hell offa my porch dammit.

i'm so old that.....uhhhh

huh?? what the f-uck are you looking at?

I’m so old, I remember the smell of new blue jeans on the first day of school. And ink wells in each desk.

I started Kindergarten in 1949. I rode to school in my brother's Kaiser.

Anybody beat this? Wabigoon might get the OM prize today.

I remember my Dads 63 F100 Longbed Unibody that the doors used to pop open going around curves due to the flex of the body. You just knew to hold on and no one ever fell out, even before seatbelts and kids carseats. Jeeze--how did we survive?

I'm so old, when God said "let there be light", it ruined my night vision.

I sat behind Moses in third grade.

Rode to school??

My father, as I, walked to school. But dad said he walked up hill both ways.

I always challenged him, being a punk kid & all & asked him why he didn't ride a horse. He told me he had to walk to stay warm.

Would have frozen to death sittin atop a horse.

I'm so old that I remember eating 2 cent Butterfingers while listening to Inter Sanctum and Red Skelton on the radio.

How bout “And now friends, it’s Falstaff time”. Dizzy Dean…..aong with PeeWee Reece broadcasting Saturday baseball. When MLB was about the game.

And riddle me this. Who were Heathcliff & Gertrude??

Seagulls I believe.

You are correct!

I'm also so old I remember cheering for "The Junk Yard Dog!"

I'm so old I remember having a bowl of popcorn while listening to The Lone Ranger on the radio.
I'm so old I took my driver's test at age 16 in a car with a manual transmission. ( Passed it too! )
I'm so old I remember when baseball players played for one team while in the majors.
I'm so old, no wait I forget.

Some days I feel older than white dog crap.

I'm so old I remember when bacon, eggs and sunshine were good for you.

Going to visit relatives in the city, and getting to watch a thing they called "TV" with moving pictures on a little round screen.

Getting up a little early in the morning to watch the flash from the atomic bomb tests on the other side of the mountains.

Bruce

I'm so old I go out to my shop and when I get there, I forgot why I went out there.

How old must I be?

Do you know this?

Slam Bang Theater.

I can remember if you wanted a heater in your truck it was a $25 option.

1933 stewart-warner R-1252 5 tube radio.

I'm older than old injun Joe, and he's older than the hills!

Virgil B.

I'm so old;

When God said " let there be light", I flipped the switch !


My birth certificate is chiseled on a rock

Funny!

That's the truth. The DSM III in the 1970s was my era. IIRC, homosexuality was classified as a character disorder.

I'm so old I remember when wives got their husband's social security number with a B after it. Husband got the A. And I remember having to deal with the IRS processers who didn't believe it.

I'm in. 1944 for me. 39 isn't my age, it's my vintage.

I remember just about all of this, except for the country stuff. I was a small town kid, no livestock. We did have Victory Gardens during WW II, though. Air raid drills and blackouts too.

Ah, the Cold war.

Dang, I remember that one. After it came on, there was one called Fury, "The story of horse... and a boy who loved him." Quit watching those shows when Dad started taking me hunting with him.

I am so old, I remember when Exxon was Esso, and yeah, it was a service station; they'd check the gas and fill it up with oil.

I am not so old that I remember the Amos 'n' Andy Show on the radio, but I am old enough to have seen it on TV.

I am old enough to remember when deer and bear were scarce, and you'd be ostracized for killing a doe. Turkeys and bald eagles were pictures in a book, but quail were plentiful; the opposite of how it is today.

I am old enough to remember a time when people didn't want to live on the beach because of all the hurricanes. I paid more for my pickup than my folks got for their house at the beach when we moved away.

I tried to post what I could remember now, cause I am so old that I might forget them if I wait until later.

If you were responding to my post, it was during WW II. The "duck and cover" Cold War stuff was about a decade later. In my case, my military service was during the so-called Cold War. The Cold War was a misnomer, it was never cold. Personal for me, as I was close to situations where US personnel were killed by the Soviets. 'Nuff said.

For those living on the coasts during WW II, air raids, sub attacks, and landing of spies and saboteurs were not unrealistic fears.

I have clothes older than my kids.

I'm so old I remember when the gallon dials flipped faster on
a gas pump then the dollar dials!
Old Cuss

I started 1st grade in 1949 - Our school did not
have a kindergarten. Went all 12 years in same
building. Our Graduating class had 28 students
7 girls and 21 boys.
Old Cuss

I remember realizing girls that smoked implied happy endings.

I remember paying a dime to walk into drive-in theaters and sitting in seats on the roof of the concession stand.

I can remember when premium gas was .27 a gallon!

Remember “Gas Wars”. I remember $0.259 a gallon. Cheapest I’ve ever seen that was in the mid to late 60s.

Aunt and uncle used one of those up until ~ 1969, or so.
We had the operator saying "Number, please" until 1958 IIRC, then we got dial phones - 4 numbers to dial.

I remember using the innards of these for shocking catfish.

Not going way back, but sonic booms.

This was already old when us unwashed urchins used to sing along, loudly.....



Then in the old Grade B Westerns that followed we’d all cheer the goodies and boo the baddies.

I'm old enough, I don't need to exaggerate.

I bought a Coke AND a snickers bar at the movie for a TOTAL of 15 cents.

Rubbers were two for a quarter in the Deep Rock gas station toilet. And they were not very strong.

I used buckskin condoms

I'm so old, I don't even buy green bananas!

I'm so old............

I'm so old..........

I'm so old I remember when you could order a gun from the Sears catalog and have it delivered to your door. No background check. No 4473 to fill out. You know, back when we still had some of our constitutional rights. Of course all of these new laws were worth it, since they've practically eliminated crime.

AMEN!

I'm so old that I also recall the mail order gun days...... Back about 1960, when I was 10, my pals and I were gonna pool our money and buy a .30-06 for $9.95 through the mail. It was a not exactly mint old military bolt gun, probably one of those beat up, re-chambered South American Mausers. Only problem was that as kids, none of us were allowed to own something like that and we couldn't find an address to ship it to. Sure as heck couldn't have one of our parents wondering what was in that big box that came today.

Seeing, funnel top steel beer cans with a screw cap.

And, when near everything was not plastic!

I'm so old I remember when you didn't have to wear a seat belt when driving, there were ash trays in all the stores, bars and restaurants and you could still buy lawn darts.

Remember Spontoons?

We could buy an apple pie for five cents.

I have 2 sister's that predate you
