you know your getting old(older) if...........

Oh yah, down south in Florida.

 

Where? I'm in Palm Beach county.

 

So awesome.

 

Flagler county. Between Daytona and St.Augustine.

 

Going to Ormond Beach for a Halloween wedding. Will be visiting with a couple cousins (faves.) One I haven't seen in 48 years. I visit her sister who lives in Ormond Beach regularly.

 

Soo many comments come to mind.

 

Ormond beach is the next town over. While your there you guys should head over to snack jacks on a1a at the south end of flagler beach. It's a local favorite. It's only about 20 minutes or so from the center of Ormond beach. Great beach side sandwiches with the deck right over the beach.

 

OK, another way I know I'm getting older is when I remember that the only wireless phone that existed in my youth was Maxwell Smart's shoe-phone.

 

or Dick Tracey's watch

 

Star Trek communicator

 

When you can say, "I saw The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show."

 

...when your first words were from the bread commercial for "Tip Top" bread which sponsored "Milky the Clown."

...To be continued...

Don

 

I remember it, but they always called it a radio, not a phone.

 

Now wait a minute I call that thrifty.

 

Ditto.

 

What was this thread about again?

 

When

I lived in Nebraska in the 50's and we had the telegraph.

 

Your remember:

- the barbershop booster chair for little shavers was a board
-when kids were referred to as a "Little Shaver"
- when you got your first Cherry Coke at the drug store
- S & H Green Stamps
-when the Dollar store was called a Five and Dime
-when Western Auto was a compeditor of Sears and Roebuck (not cars)
-your first real job paid $1.00 an hour
-boys had paper routes
-they checked your oil when they filled your car with gas
-the police would take you home when you screwed up
-teachers could use corporal punishment


just a few memories...
