Do you remember...
...Not having a microwave in your kitchen because they weren't available yet? And even when they were, they cost almost a thousand dollars for the behemoth that took up half a kitchen counter?
...Having only maybe five channels plus PBS on your channel listing? And having to turn the knob to change the channel?
...Rotary dial phones that came in black, white, green, yellow and maybe red?
....Eight-track players in the family cabinet stereo? With the turntable?
...Wolfman Jack?
....Rick Dees when he was in Los Angeles as the hottest disc jockey in California?
...Putting LEADED GAS in your car?
...Odd or Even days for putting gas in your car?
...Air mail paper to write to friends and famiy who lived over-seas?
...Using your skate key and fastening the roller skates to your sneakers?
All right. Roll Call for the "superannuated" amongst us.
I'm seeing a lot of awesome chicks on the boards who are my age and beyond and I wanna know who is out there.
This is not a clique. This is not a club.
This is a campfire. Bring the Advil (for my aching joints, because I woke up with an OUCH this morning) your coffee/tea/beverage of choice, hide from the pets and kids and be COUNTED.
If you're forty or further, like ME!, I wanna know it.
Sign up and be counted. Aliases are totally allowed.
I want to know (hey, I can be interactive) what memories you have from when you were, say, five that shock the kids and grandkids.
I want to know, too, if the kids and grandkids know you're into Twilight.
Can we do this?? Hmmm?
