One solid indicator seems to be lying about your age. The young tend to lie in favor of an older age, and the old tend to lie in favor of a younger age. There's probably only a brief period somewhere in the middle where people aren't trying to skew it one way or the other...

Watergate was current events, not history class.
You know what the Bay of Pigs was. You have more LP's than CD's. You know that Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings. You watched man walk on the moon for the first time. You remember the last time that everybody got sent home from work or school was a Presidential assasination, not a terrorist attack. You remember when it didn't take the loss of thousands of lives for it to be okay to be proud to be from the United States. |

You remember:
Gasoline @ $.71/gal. 75mph speed limits. 1969 Kawasaki MachIII motorcycles. Motor oil didn't come in a plastic bottle w/ a twist off cap. Filling stations had attendents that would clean your windows & check you oil. A 2x4 measured 2" x 4" (I'm not that old, but I've seen some of them) 90% of the furniture in stores [b]wasn't[/b] constructed of particle board covered with wood-grain contact paper. Automobiles were built on [b]frames[/b]. The first thing you did in the morning was put wood on the fire. You remember kids getting up and doing their work on Saturday mornings, [b]before[/b] they started leisure activities. |

On the bright side:
- You already have guns that would probably be banned when the little shavers grow up. "Lookie here, sonny. I bought this here Tommy gun from Montgomery Ward catalog. Cost me $45" - you get to go to shooting range during weekdays, have the range all to yourself. - you get to call them "damn college kids" (my favorite) |

There's probably only a brief period somewhere in the middle where people aren't trying to skew it one way or the other... Viper Out Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. How old are you? I'm four and a half! You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key. You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back.You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. How old are you? I'm gonna be 16! You could be 13, but hey, you're 'gonna' be 16! And then the greatest day of your life ... you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony ... YOU BECOME 21...YESSSS!!! But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened th ere? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED, we had to throw him out. There's no fun now,you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed? You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 ... and your dreams are gone. But wait, you MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would! So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60. You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday! You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. My grandmother won't even buy green bananas! It's an investment, you know, and maybe a bad one!! And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards. I was JUST 92. Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. I'm 100 and a half! May you all make it (healthily) to 100 and a half! |

When your oldest son overhears you and your wife talking about LP's, and asks what is an LP?
You remember when soda and beer only came with pop tops. You had to get out of the car to open the gas cap. You were the remote contol for the T.V. You were the garage door opener. You were the power to the lawn mower. |
