I have to say even though I am 18, I do wish I was around in the 60's just to experience the music. I really enjoy listening to The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Grateful Dead, The Stones, The Doors, etc. I still listen to the newer stuff occassionaly, but that 60's music can't be beat!!

Now that's a
"come hither" look if there ever was one. *sigh*
But then on second thought, she looks like she's had too many oxycontin pills.....
Paris Hilton couldn't look that sexy with all her videos.
Earth shoes. Yeah, that was in the 1970s though. Had that plus my platform shoes and BIG BELL bottom that could hide a family of pygmies. You had to slash the bottoms of the bells with a razor so thay would really fray out. Too bad I threw them out decades ago.....

Old enough to remember staying up till 12:00 am to watch the TV go off the air and the indian head test pattern.
Old enough to buy tires with white sidewalls and having to scrub them clean and use sidewall paint to touch them up.
Old enough to remember when the Firestone 500 was state of the art tire and "put a tiger in your tank" was about filling up on gas.
Old enough to remember gas at 25 cents a gallon.
Old enough to have watched Michael Jackson's groundbreaking Thriller video when it first came out. And I was about to graduate from college by that time.
Old enough to remember Mamas and Papas and before Keith Richards looked like death warmed over.
Old enough to have worn Angel's Flight butt hugger pants and polyester shirts in high school back when it was first cool and not just retro cool.
Old enough to watch Neil Armstrong step foot on the moon.
Old enough to remember the word "gay" referred to being happy.
Old enough to gripe about lower back pain, fallen arches, and holding my dinner menu at arms length to read it. but only if the lighting was good enough. Those dark, romantic restaurants are killing me.
Old enough to appreciate Denny's Early Bird Specials.
Old enough to need those "comfort" cut jeans...Oh those days when I could buy 28x30 Levis 501 BEFORE they shrank and easily get in them AFTER shrinking.
Old enough to REMEMBER that I used to be able to unhook the girl's bra with one hand without fumbling...in the dark, without her helping....now I have to remember what to do if I could ever do that again.....and at this age, my gal would have learned about the effects of gravity.
44 by the end of the December.

Pup... I'll be 52 in January, and still 25 mentally...

Wow! Look what I started. 22 replies already.........and tons of great material. I haven't even had time to read it all. I hope we get more people to take the survey. Looks like we have a pretty good variety of ages so far with 32 votes cast.

You forgot 19.9 cents/gallon of gas -- full service. When service really meant something.
When you could leave your house unlocked and everything would still be there when you got home.
When neighbors looked out for each other.
Leisure suits (shudder).....
Computers that used punch cards.....and having access to a computer was a novelty.
When IBM was associated with typewriters....
Motel 6 at $6, with pay TVs just to watch the two or three networks they received.....
The Flintstones at night -- first run...
George of the Jungle (and not the movie)
Who shot JR?
And TVs that had a knob to change channels.
Watching the news broadcast when the local station switched from black and white to color.
And the town was small enough that the weekend news anchors were a married couple that sometimes showed home movies of their kids to fill up the half hour.
I quit counting birthdays at 29!

The torch has been passsed...
Hosted dinner for family and in laws at my place Xmas and Thanksgiving......I was cooking morning, noon, and night for days.....full breakfasts for everyone, then start on dinner, clean up dinner, plan for next day's eats.......
I tell ya, it ain't easy being Martha Stewart.....
Consider it an honor and a priviledge that the torch has been passed to you as the head of the clan.

23 people and you have a work detail.
8 people and 3 cats they all sit around asking when do we eat?
8 is just enough to over load the stove so everything has to be cooked in shfits for meals. I want scrambled. I want over easy, I want medium but not runny. I want over hard but not burnt. I want soft boiled and runny.
SHADDUP!
You're going to get what I can get out and there will be no *****ing or moaning. I want one line and one line only. When you get served, you will go straight to the table and start eating. There will be no seconds and you will bring the dishes back to the sink. Am I understood?
I can't hear you!
You will stat each repsonse with a loud and clear "SIR!" and end with a loud and clear "SIR!"
Am I understood? "SIR, YES, SIR"
The only FOUR responses out of your mouths will be Sir, Yes, Sir; Sir, No, Sir; Sir, no Excuse, Sir; and "Sir, I do not understand, Sir!"
I knew those 3 years in the Army and watching Mail Call with R. Lee Ermey would be useful.
"Take that turkey leg out of your piehole and stand at attention, maggot!"
Now that's the way to run dinner for 23!

Talking about eggs ever which way. I found an egg casserole recipe that can be assembled the night before or done the same morning and it was great!!! Made things a LOT easier in the morning. Fills a 9"x13" glass dish and tastes even better with Pace chunky salsa!! It's got 1/2lb of chunked ham, same amount of cheese, 8 eggs, green onion, parsley, etc. It was really good. Yeah, I like to cook.
I think this WAS the practice but I'll keep that in mind. Always nice to know your friends are ready to pitch in and help. 
Oh yeah, to keep this on topic for the "real" old farts, how about,
"Gort . . . Klatoo Barotta Nictoe, Klatoo Barotta Nictoe"

When you work from home, there's always just one in the building.....
Mork....what a character that launched a career.

A dress up day when working from home is putting a clean pair of underwear on...
Robin definitely has talent... I think the golf bit he does is piss in the pants funny...

Reminds me of my geezer days in Army Airborne School in Fort Benning Georgia.....no we did not use track suits nad jogging shoes. It was fatiques and black leather boots and it better be shined up each day after being in mud nad gunk the day before....anyway, the best was this black cap yelling at this poor trainee, "Who told you to stop huh? Who told you to stop. When I tell to drop, you'd do it till I GET TIRED!"
23 years ago and I can still remember my student jump number C-142.
"Charlie One For Two" drop and give me twenty.
