You know you're old when...

[rusty pins]

My Jeep Grand Cherokee is 19 years old, has 315,000 miles on it, looks good and runs great even though the engine light comes on now.

Here is how you know age is creeping up on you. When you are having a conversation with adults about child hood cartoons, and they know none of the cartoons you mention, and you remember all of the ones they are mentioning from drunken college parties...

When people call you Sir or Uncle.....

[Nat]

The music you grew up with or came from your times when you were a baby or couple years before you were born are now considered oldies.

[Guest YoungZeppelin]

When you start saying, "When I was a kid...."

[Nat]

To describe what old music you like, you can't say oldies anymore and mean the 1950's 60's music and early 70's because now it means the 80's and 90's and you now have to say you like 50's music or 60's so people will know what oldies you're talking about.

[Little BabyDoll Christine]

Actually there is a difference between the true '50's and true '60's. there was a period from late '58 to mid '63 that was unique. The true '50's was the height of Little Richard, the Platters, Jerry Lee Lewis, the classic doowop sounds (Dubs, charts, Danleers) and Elvis. The '60's is regareded to have begun with the Beatles. The period I am talking about was dominated by the Drifters, Shirelles, Roy Orbison, Everly Brothers, etc it included Lawrence Welk with CAUCUTTA. more doowop (Earls, Jive 5) Chubby Checker and the like. Among my faves was Gene McDaniels (100 LBS OF CLAY, TOWER OF STRENTH, CHIP CHIP, POINT OF NO RETURN and A TEAR)

You remember where you were and what you were doing when JFK was assassinated.

[Nat]

You remember where you were and what you were doing when the planes hit the towers and how the day went for you. You remember it like it was still yesterday.

[Bettypooh]

@ JFK, I was sitting at my Dad's feet watching the parade. Being so young I didn't quite understand it so I turned and asked "Dad, what happened to the president?" Dad's face was shocked in total horror. I never saw him that scared ever again.

Rachel and Joanne will think I have gone over to the Dark Sike. Actually, as the Minbari used to say, I stand at the midpoint of Dark and Light

They were good for more if you did not abuse them, I got many hours of fun with them

[Nat]

I remember those.

[Little BabyDoll Christine]

You don't remember the ones from the mid '50's like the Testor's Go-Hi, Flash and Little Dipper or the A. J. Hornet and Interceptor 404 (folding wing) or the Continental Sabre Jet and Thunderjet. They were long gone by 1988

I saw some of the North Pacific line in 2000 at the Guillows' website and the A.J. line has become a re-issue of American Junior, a redux of the Jim Walker company. Also starting to produce some original product

i remember i had those huge styro-foam ones from the early to mid 90's i believe.... that is until a bird hit the tail fin breaking it off and it went crashing to the ground, lol. the bird on the other hand recovered, if only slightly before hitting the ground and flew away...

I had a huge one for Christmas when I was four and I think I wrecked it from playing with it. that thing didn't even last me long because I had forgotten all about it and then I saw it in the home video.

[Little BabyDoll Christine]

Those huge styro planes came out in the mid '80's. Never tried one, were they any good? I really should have, just never got around to it. They looked like they had too much bulk for the weight so that you could not get enough oomf into it to make it fly. I could just picture myself throwing it full bore, having it go about 20 and dropping

You know you're old if you can remember when Frisbee was called Pluto Platter or even Mars Platter

[Diaper_Lover_HI]

The movies we watched in the movie theaters are now on AMC!!!!

[Little BabyDoll Christine]

You WERE a Hawaii baby when Steve MCGarrett first said "Book'um Danno!"

[Rachel Emily]

For me personally, it was the realization that one, most of the home-health aides I have don't get the '70s and '80s TV show references I make, and two, I'm often older than their

[Nat]

People stop asking to see your ID when you go into bars or purchase any alcohol or tobacco products.

[Little BabyDoll Christine]

Just to show that I am NOT on the Dark Side

How about, you wanted a Patty Playpal doll when they first came out

Just to show that I AM

You loved the Mettel Burp Gun when you got it
