I am soooo old that I learned how to type on a Standard Royal Typewriter (electric typewriters weren't invented yet)

That's my story and I'm sticking to it

I'm so old that I am thrilled to be able to use the word "groovy" again and not get funny looks.

old as dirt...

Well I don't know if you guys will fall for it but I tell the neighborhood kids I'm so old I rode a dinosaur to school. LOL some of them fall for it!
I'm so old that my teenage clothes have come and gone back forth in and out of style at least twice since then!
I'm so old if I would have saved my teen idol schwag I'd be rich today.
I'm so old the once luxurious hair on my legs that used to require constant shaving is now old & baldy legs & only requires shaving once a week even in summer.
I'm so old I have to wear magnifying glasses to see close up when I have my contacts in.

And I'm so old that now when I see a biker gang ride by I have to push my boobulas up over my top or all they will be seeing are my knees! (just kidding but you get the picture)

I'm so old that milk at school was only 5 cents and a postage stamp was 4 cents.

I also learned on a manual typewriter and had a black and white TV (3 channels that came in sometimes),
8 tracks were popular when I was a teenager.

I too learned on a manual typewriter. We were the first house on the block to have a television set and the kids would gather around the screen door to watch it from the front yard. Our telephone was a party line. My mom did the laundry on a wringer washing machine and dried the clothes on a line. Penny candy was actually a penny. You could get a huge candy bar for a nickel, but it was more fun and more time consuming to pick out 5 pieces of penny candy instead.

WW: I could have posted all of those. I remember that the programs ran for odd times and then they would fill up the remaining time with music. Whenever I watch a Yankees game and they play Kate Smith's God Bless America, it brings back the memories of her show and hearing her sing that.

48 years old, and back when I was younger and my mom was in her 40's I honestly thought she was so old..For me it only gets better, of course staying healthy is a very important part..Fun thread to op....Loved all the comments really cute...peace and stay safe from Irene............Catherine

I'm so old I've forgotten what we did or didn't have when I was a kid...HAHAHA!

ROFLMAO - Now that just says it all. But I remember just about all this stuff - it sure brings back memories.

Speaking of candy - anyone remember Bonomo's Turkish Taffy or Cocilana Cough Drops? Not sure if I spelled either of those correctly.

I am so old I learn to sew on a treadle sewing machine.

I am so old that we had black and white tvs with 3 stations an dial to change stations and at the end of the night of broadcasting the stations shut down with a prayer and the pledge.

I am so old that my grandparents farms had outhouses.

I am so old that I learn to type on a manual typewriter which weighed a ton.

I am so old that we had records when I was a teenager.

I am so old that we had a party line on our phone and it was also limited service which meant we could make only 2 calls a day.

I am so old that movies were 25 cents and candy at the movies was a nickel. We also had penny candy.

I am so old I remember watching Jack Benny and he telling the world that he was 39.

I am so old I remember see "The Ten Commandments" in the movie theatre.

OK, I am so old that I remember bread being .25 a loaf and gas was .39-69 cents a gallon. I sure long for those days again! Wish I could go back to that time and start over again!

Yikes there are way too many memories to share when I was a kid. Loved to hang out in the park with my brothers and also in the summer under the sprinkers.; Loved when Mr Softee would past buy, loving eating watermelon. Also I used to be able to purchase my mom's ciggys remember them clear, Benson and Hedges ultra light 200's in a box for 45 cents.......Too funny.....peace and safe blessings to all..........Catherine

My first gas fill-up was 22 cents/gallon.

It is funny the things you remember.

But like couponsrock it gets harder and harder to remember back that far

Oh I forgot the treadle sewing machine. But my dad was a machinist and he electrified our old treadle.

I used to ride the bus downtown in St. Louis and we passed houses in the city with outhouses in the back.

There were records, 78 rmp's were the first ones, soon followed by the little 33 1/3's.

The first movie I remember was The Boy With the Green Hair. My godmother took me to the movie and I was so upset that we had to leave.

When I got old enough to go the movies with friends it was 20 cents and there were cartoons, a cliffhanger and the main attraction.

I usually paid about 19 cents a gallon for gas when I first got a car.

And I still love Jack Benny. And Red Skelton.

And I just remembered that when I was really young, waiting for the ice man to bring the ice for our "ice box". That was before we moved to the big city of St. Louis. Once we got there we got a real electric "ice box".

I'm so old that the cars like I used to own now have "historical" plates on them..UGH!!!!

I'm old enough to have liked Sky and Vamp, and all the knock-offs of them I could actually afford.

I now see a few people older than me based on the price of things.

When I was a teenager, gas was 25 cents a gallon. If you had four people in the car, everyone would throw in a dollar to fill the tank and then you could cruise the streets all night.

I forgot about Red Skelton.

You could go to George Webb and get 10 hamburgers for $1.00.

This so much fun. I am so old my dad would give me 10.00 a week for allowance and then I made another 10.00 a week for babysitting a girl on a friday night when her parents went bowling it was for 3 hours. So naturally on Saturday, me and my girlfriends we were 13 years old at the time, would walk to the avenue where all the stores were, we would go into Woolworths have lunch, we would maybe buy some eyeshadow, then we would window shop at some stores and perhaps buy a pair of jean or a blouse. And then we would still have money left over. Times then were fun, easy going, today everything is so expensive...Miss those times and yes also I clearly remember eating dinner at the kitchen table me and my brothers and my parents would let us watch batman. Omg how we really thought him and Robin would get hurt from all those crazy criminals and of course watching The Brady Bunch...Good clean kid fun......Peace and blessings to all. Catherine

I forgot because I am so old. When I babysat, the going rate was 50 cent an hour. We were glad to get $2.00 for 4 hours of babysitting. I would weed a neighbors yard for 50 cents. We did not get an allowance.
