You know you'e old

[Old Dog 179138]

If you know what household device this is played on, you're old.

 

 

I ran a record store in the 80's - it was my homage to the John Cusack lifestyle...

 

Not only did we sell those, we sold these:

 

These:

You guys had remotes? I had to get up and turn the dial manually. Spoiled!

 

But you have a Nova SS. Trade you for an old remote?

You know you're an older female when you can relate to feeling hot when everyone else in the room is cold.

Everything hurts, - what does not hurt, doesnt work!

 

The gleam in your eye is now the reflection upon your bifocals

 

You feel like the morning after, but havent been anywhere

 

Your children begin to look middle aged

 

A dripping tap causes an uncontrollable urge

 

You have the answers, but no one asks those questions

 

You look forward to a dull evening at home

 

You need glasses to find your glasses

 

You turn out lights for economy, instead of for romance

 

Your knees buckle, but your belt wont

 

Your house is too big and your medicine cupboard is not big enough

 

You just wish that you could live long enough to be a problem to your children

You need glasses to find your glasses

Both Carrie Moon and Nicki can attest to having had to help me out with finding my glasses.

 

You know you're old when you remember seeing these guys when when they looked like this (left).

 

David Lee Roth (Van Halen):

 

 

Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones):

 

 

Mickey Rourke:

Cool!

 

How about these:

 

 

We didn't sell those, but I remember them!!! You had to make sure that the volume on the portable tape recorder was just right or else the program would crash and all of your 800 kb of computing power would crash!!!

You're close!

 

For computers, they were actually just everyday cassette tapes, and it would have been closer to 8K than 800K :)

(An 800K program would take over 27 hours to load by tape).

 

You were probably thinking of the CPU clock speed, and around 800 Hz to 1 MHz is about right for the era. Yes young people, that's 800 hertz to 1 mega-hertz, not 800 MHz to 1GHz - a difference of a factor of 1,000!

 

You're bang on fiddling with the volume control to get things just right, on the 3rd or 4th CLOAD attempt.

 

That is actually an RCA sound tape cartridge:

When you are looking forward to April Wine at the Navan Fair!

 

When April Wine did not have to play at fairs to earn a living.

T.T.

When all you want for your birthday is to not be reminded of your age.

You think Iced-T is a drink.

You know what an 8-track tape player is (and swear it's better than CD's.)

You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

At the breakfast table you hear snap, crackle, pop and you're not eating cereal.

You mean thats not my cheerios making that noise at the breakfast table.

A few more

You write a note to yourself so you don't forget something then forget where you left the note.

The main roads around your home were dirt.

The biggest question surrounding Bert and Ernie was who was your favorite not like now it is are they gay.

you know you're old when you tell friends you saw Guy Lafleur's first hockey game.

You know your old when you remember the opening of Bayshore Shopping Mall, and also being dragged there to get clothes for school

You also know you are old when you remember when there was only one Fat Albert's Pizza (in Bells Corners) in the Ottawa area, and it made excellent pizza

You know you're old when you read the thread about MSOG in a 30 minute time period, and you think to yourself, "What the hell are they thinking"!

Everytime I see the term MSOG I'm think of the additive found in some foods (msg)

and supposed to be bad for you

The best part of growing old is no longer having the desire to suffer fools. I'm going to retire to Florida, hitch my pants up to my chest, and argue politics with other old farts. :icon_lol:

[Guest W***ledi*Time]

Recently, general political chit-chat with my wet-behind-the-ears dental hygienist led to my mentioning a jolly old fellow named Richard Nixon. She said, "Who's that? Is he a politician?"
