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 Am So Old...

     

    I remember high-fashion to be bell-bottoms, the wider the more fashionable. Today, skin-tight is in, and my doctor just refuses to endorse them as a substitute for compression stockings. 😖

    I remember when a tear in your bell-bottoms meant you patched them.  Now, kids actually buy their jeans already ripped!   

    I remember miniskirts, maxi skirts, and hot pants!!

    I remember when planning a roadtrip meant figuring out where to get off the Interstate Highway and then back on to get past the unfinished parts.

    Or you could get free maps from gas stations...My favorite was those from Esso...either for one state or regions.

    I remember when Automatic Transmissions in cars were the exception not the rule...and cost extra.

    I remember column shifters for manual transmissions, "3 on the Tree". And I taught all of my kids to drive a manual, they all learned on a tractor.....

    I remember when "Common Sense" was "COMMON".....

    If you routinely express intolerance, please consider the definition of "bigotry".

    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.
