You know you're old when...

Dpc2u · 07-08-2023, 09:40 AM

I qualify for this.

Anyone around for 5/5/55 or 4/4/44?

I qualify. But not for the 5/5/55 mark.

zgood4u · 07-08-2023, 11:52 AM

I qualify for 5/5/55, I wish I didn't but I do.

No! I’ll get off your lawn now.

LOL, as I recall you and I are only a couple months apart and from back in the '60s era.

I'm sure your eyes were open by then.

I was around for 5/5/55, and I remember it because the next day (5/6) was my eighth birthday. The entire crew was treated to a day at the local amusement park even though it was a Friday, which made it even better. We were let go from school at noon for the big shindig.

I was here for 5/5/55. Was almost 4 months old.

You a old man.

I didn't come in until the 6'S... which, in retrospect, seems appropriate.

You devil worshipper, you.

And I edited my post above to say I was almost 4 months old.

I was 7 years old when the 5/5/55 deal happened.

I had a blue 24" Schwinn bicycle that dad bought used. He had to remove the seat because the bike was too big for me. Next door neighbor kid had a tree fort in the corner tree, complete with drawers that pushed through the walls, putting our stuff outdoors. Ha!

I misinterpreted your post. I thought you meant you were around for the 4s and 5s. Yes, I was around for the 6s. Is the mind the first to go? Lol.

3798j · 07-09-2023, 12:37 PM

the similarities...something for old people to ponder...

...when months of constant tinnitus have been replaced with "Playground in My Mind"

I'm gonna buy me all kinds of candy
That's what I'm gonna do.....
