You know you're getting old when...

[Susie Hamilton]

You wake up and wonder which part of your body is going to ache today.

How about...."I can't believe I ate the whole thing..."
I remember when the Beverly Hillbillies was still a series and NOT in syndication.

I only go back to 1964. But I remember commercials from about 1967-68. I remember when Mr. Rogers first came on. And Sesame Street.

How about Romper Room...in black and white.

I, too, remember the Schick Injector Blades. You had the tool with blades in it. You stuck it in the side of the Holder and pushed one in.

I even remember the old "Ironsides." Twist the bottom and the top opens up...drop a blade in and close it up. I remember cutting my cheek with one of those WFD's...Weapons of Facial Destruction... I didn't even have peach fuzz yet and I tried shaving with my dad's...BAD IDEA!!!
And to follow it up, I splashed a little scent alcohol (Old Spice) onto it...AAAaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!

I remember "My Three Sons." I am always whistling the music to these shows at work just to see if anyone recognizes them. It's funny to see the responses I get.

I think the only TRUE old people are the one who remember "See the U!sa in your CHEVrolet", LSMFT!!!, or Burmashave signs.

Who sang the Chevrolet song?????????????? I know!!

As far as I know they still print this on the packs. Now if you can remember Green Label Luckys, your really old.

I loved watching "Howdy Doody"! How about "Our Miss Brooks" and Captain Kangaroo?? Plus, American Bandstand was my favorite as a pre-teen/teen.

When you crack a joke about a saying or TV show and every one looks at you like what in the world is she talking about...

I'm so old I was on Bozo the Clown show once...lol

Anybody remember ToJo Yamamamoto?

I used to come home from school every day for the Big Show...the Jake Hess show and on and on...Even the Ralph Emery show is almost antique...I used to get up with my husband and watch their crazy antics...

The old black and white shows that you thought at the time were so modern and hi tech...and now you laugh and laugh at the stupidity of them...

I still get a kick out of the black and white Andy Griffeth show and I love to look at the prices on the windows of the grocery store, the old cars and want to go back to that time...I dated in a 2 door, 64 Ford Galaxie 500, with a 390, 3 speed in the column...Man those were the days...

I remember ToJo, he was really big in wrestling in Nashville when I was a teenager. He actually dated my neighbors daughter one summer. I would watch them "sunbath" in the back yard...it was so funny. He was really scary in person!!!

Okay, I remember:

Speedy Alka Seltzer

"Call for Phillip Morris!"

When Clarabell the Clown spoke his last and only words, "Goodbye, kids," on the final Howdy Doody Show.

"Meeska-Mooska-Mouseketeers"

Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts

"Ajax cleans like a white tornado."

This Is Your Life

[DeWayneTN]

I remember life before cable and VCRs.

[PastorP]

One I remember is "Gunsmoke!" Especially Chester.

You poor little thing.

[DeWayneTN]

You poor little thing.

Rough times. I'm already practicing my old man speech. Instead of walking to school in the pouring rain, it'll be "when I was your age, we didn't have cable. We had to watch fuzzy television and a half dozen channels. And we had to wait for Saturday morning for cartoons! We didn't have cell phones, we had to come home for supper when it was ready, when we saw the Domino's pizza truck pass by."

Remember who did "This Is Your Life!"? He went on to produce "The People's Court" and a few other popular shows.

I know exactly who this is. I spent a weekend with the man on a high school band trip. When I lived in Oregon, this man's grandson was in the school band with me. The band was trying to get new uniforms and having a difficult time raising the money needed to secure them for my senior year. We were gonna come up short.
Then one day, the director came in the bandroom with this glazed look on his face. He had just received a sizeable check from an "anonymous" donor. The check was for $92,000 and change. It basically paid for all the new uniforms.

This anonymous donor was none other than Ralph Edwards. The host of "This Is Your Life."
