Feeling old yet?

This isnt healthy! Just as soon as I can reach my zimmer frame, I'm outta here...:wink:

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I've had this exact conversation with my 2 kids (22 and 24) many times...I think it's their way of making sure I feel as old as they can make me feel.

I remember when the Milkman delivered milk to the milkbox on your front steps
Just a few off the top of my head.....[/quote] I remember all of that

I'm young enough to fit the description, but I've experienced all of these things. Does that mean that my mind is prematurely aging?

[Love-it]

A little bit, I was in the Bay Area for a business meeting and had dinner in a restaurant that had obviously been there awhile, when I saw a sign on a building that said San Jose City College, and I realized that after high school I started attending city college there 40 years ago.

People used to get dressed up to fly!

In ~1965 I went on my first flight at age ~9 and my dad took a picture of me in front of the plane. I have that picture: I was wearing a jacket! It was June and at West Palm Beach so the weather would have been quite warm.

The plane was an Eastern A/L 727 and the word "Whisperjet" is visible on the No. 2 intake. Anyone remember EAL calling their 727's Whisperjets?

 

[nudeyorker]

I remember...
Does anyone from California remember a Store called I. Magnin?
