I'm so old I've...

I was just thinking about the old Tube Tops of the 80's! Shapeless, boob-squishing, stretchy things they were.

I've used a rotary phone, typewriter and had black & white TV (with the tube!) lol

. . .I remember going to my grandmother's house in Savannah and the milkman still had a horsedrawn delivery truck

Oh, wow! What a surprise seeing this thread resurrected again!

P.S. Welcome to our home, Nocar! Ahhh... another rotary telephone user. (I love rotary telephones).

Rodeosweetheart. The horse-drawn milk-delivery wagon/buggy is neat-o!

Anyone around my age (mid/late 40's), will remember stacking the turntable pin with a half dozen (or more) LP's, so you could enjoy HOURS of music, but as each LP dropped, the angle at which the needle would sit/play on the LP, would alter the sound/speed of the songs, and getting a new needle was like winning the lottery!

I remember typewriters (still use one!), and when gas was 80 cents a gallon--and we were all horrified! Bread was 35 cents, and that was the good stuff. I remember selling cheap bread 3 loaves for a dollar at the local convenient store where I worked.

Yes, Miradoblackwarrior, I remember those 3-pack loaves that came in a long clear plastic bag! So heavenly was the smell, and we always did our own slicing.

AND... and, and, and... if you didn't have one of those nifty little plastic centre disks to snap in place when playing a 78, you eye-balled the turntable pin as best you could in hopes that you had the 78, centered as best you could.

If you're old like me (LOL) and babysat back in the late 70's, you remember the likes of cloth diapers and rubber pants... the pins, double-diapering, toilet-dunking, and the smelly diaper pails that accompanied (no one used Pampers back then), large metal baby prams (like pushing a storage-shed w/handles down the sidewalk), exersaucers, swing-o-matics, jolly-Jumpers (that hung from doorways), and pastel (plastic) baby bottles.

Rotary phone on a party line. Two room school house. B&W Tv's, and color tv's you had to adjust the colors, antenna's, etc (what is a remote?). Clothelines, gravity furnaces (thankfully never had to shovel coal into a furnace, still have the room and the shovel), etc.

Sometimes I joke I am old enough to have an autographed, Jesus Rookie card.

.....I remember when bananas had seeds!
