Age Survey: How old are you?

[Les]

I can remember when it took 5 minutes for the TV to come on.

And another couple of minutes for the little white dot to disappear when you turned it off.

By the looks of the survey, we should be able to get the seniors rates on new Henry's.

Perhaps we should be allowed to rent them by the month, instead of buying 'em!

[Sir Henry]

I'll be 62 in April!
I remember watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show!

Me too.

Soda pop sure tasted better in returnable bottle
A local Sparkle Market kept the empties outside.
A couple times when kids we put them in a cart and took them in and got our refund.
They kept them inside before long
Bad kids we was

I can remember walking the secondary highways looking for bottles in the ditches. As a ten year old that was my main source of income.

I grew up in the 40's, 50's. Then the 60's and the Nam War and our Country changed and not for the good, at least not in my mind. Now from what I am seeing, I have worries and doubts about the kind of lives my kids, grandkids, and great grandkids will have.

When I was a kid Sunday nights were Walt Disney show and then Bonanza. During the week I would get to stay up late (10pm) to watch Rawhide. Saturday mornings were 3 Stooges, Roy Rogers, Lassie and Sky King.

I grew up in the late 60's 70's.

I think things are looking up for our country lately.

I'll be 59 in May, but my years in the Corps count double, so I'm really 72.

For what seemed like a long time I was always the youngest one in the group. These days it seems like I'm the oldest alot of the time. How the he!! did that happen?!

It sorta sneaks up on you. I really, personally, don't believe in the term, ''Golden Years."

Can you type that in a bigger font?

[DWD445]

WHAT , did someone say cold ??

[red ryder]

Old enough to remember getting milk in bottles from the milk man, the doctor making house calls and sending a letter for $.04.

Yes, me too. Also old enough to remember when there were no computers, cell phones and even no color TVs (we got a B&W TV in 1948). Don't forget gasoline for 25¢/gal. and newspapers for a nickel.

Old...just plain old. Or anyway that's how I feel. 10 years ago I painted houses for a living and ran up and down 32 and 40 foot ladders just like a monkey on a tree. Now my knees and back hurt all the time. Not from the ladders I don't suspect but just from plain old aging. SUCKS.

Like smoke thru a keyhole.

[Tom Brush]

Too old!

[PT7]

What you said has a measure of good truth, Dutch. I've heard a term that more closely describes this elder time, as opposed to the "Golden Years."

Rather than "Golden Years," the years could be considered the "Tarnished Bronze" years. And anyone that owns a Henry rifle decked in bronze will appreciate that expression, and know exactly what it means! It takes some determined work to remove the patina and return to the golden shine.

It doesn't mean necessarily that the Tarnished Bronze years are bad; it's just the way of it.
