Admit it. You're getting older

[KQ]

I guess I'm not that old after all- I don't remember a Dick's burger ever being less than 35 cents, also about the price of a scoop of ice cream.

Well I'll admit to being very young at the time but I've got a long memory

And Dick's Drive-in still sells burgers by the bag full, they are way more than $1 now though the grease content is probably the same. Ice-Burg in Walla^2 is much better.

Been craving Ice-Burg all week! Yum!

amazing, is there a wolf version?

[MagnificentUnicorn]

It might be sooner than later.

Last night I woke up from a little bit of gas. I let one ride and it ended up being a full on blow out. It went everywhere, it somehow even got into her hair.

She was not happy.

Wait, you sharted in bed and it got in your girlfriends hair?

I mean god damn.

Nah, I was kidding. The post before that suggested she wasn't going to stick around unless she was fat so I took the ball and ran with that thought. She weighs about 98 lbs., has blond hair, blue eyes, and (I think) she is gorgeous. I would be lying though if I said I didn't have insecure thoughts every now and then about the future but that's all on me, not her. She is an awesome step mom too, that's actually more important than anything else. I would hate to push her away and hurt my kid. I'm currently cutting out the beer consumption and trying to stay motivated to get out more so I don't get all blown out.

I can't stay up past midnight even if I am trying to.

I wake up before 9 without setting an alarm.

I read this whole thread.

[liv2ski]

I can't stay up past 10pm without a nap.

I wake up before 7am without setting an alarm.

I read this whole thread.

FIFY

Age is as much attitude as it is trips around the sun. I've know 40 year old old men, and 85 year old youngsters.

I may not be a physically capable as some young punk, but I am often mentally tougher and can hold my own and some times better then from shear experience or mental toughness alone. (and other days they kick my ass )

+1 Although it's a fine line between mental toughness and just being mental

Brodie: Tell me, did you ever fart in front of her?

T.S. Quint: No, why do you ask?

Brodie: I never farted in front of Renee. Not once. Last week, I let one slip and today she dumps me.

T.S. Quint: You think that's why Renee dumped you? Come on, she's not the shallow type. You're not insinuating...

Brodie: She was going down on me at the time.

T.S. Quint: [Retches]

Brodie: What can I say, I was feeling very relaxed, when I'm relaxed I squirt.

T.S. Quint: If all she did was dump you, you got off light.

I remember:

Paying a nickle to make a phone call from a pay phone
Gas was under .50 a gallon
Rotary dial telephones (and when fancy cool push button or "touch tone" phones became widely available*)
Mimeographs
Having a black & white TV and only 4 channels with rabbit ears (WTF was the UHF all about?)
Waiting forever, it seemed, for your film to be developed (and the advent of "Photo Hut")
With .25 allowance I could buy 3 full sized candy bars
$50 got my mom 10 bags of groceries (and she complained about the cost)
$1 got you a bag of burgers (5) from Dick's Drive-in
Popsicles from the little truck that cruised around in the summer were .10
When 9-1-1 didn't exist and you had to keep the numbers for Police and Fire written down next to the phone

Does anyone remember how you could dial your own phone number from your home phone, hang-up and it would ring? We used to do this all the time to get someone somewhere else in the house to pick-up.


* Re push button phones - when they first came out and had the # and * keys they had no function and everyone wondered about them. I remember my father telling me "someday you'll be able to push those buttons and turn on the lights in your house". LOL!

Dollar movies at the cheap theatre.

Dark side at the Planetarium.

We had a party line, anyone else?

Laft so hard I gave myself a hernia. THX

Dutch microwave. Not soon forgotten

[Benny Profane]

Ha. I was just thinking about the young girl / cougar / MILF thing the other day on the beach. I was looking at some 20ish thing that, if I was even thirty, would have had me totally going, but, today, nada. Weird. But the mommies? If they haven't let themselves go to shit, which is like, most, well, Hubba Hubba. I guess I like women, not girls.

[Meadow Skipper]

We had a party line, anyone else?

Yeah, but it was in Fairbanks AK in the early 80s. That's like -20 years off the top.

I graduated HS in 1970, so I remember things like 29¢/gal gas, $100 surfboards, traveling without credit cards, leaded gas, the draft, 5¢ sodas and candy bars, 25¢ draft beers, really cheap tuition in California state colleges, Highway 101 being two lanes and lined with cypresses, traffic-free SoCal freeways, kook-free surf spots, $1.99 albums (more if they were stereo), $10 four-finger lids...shit.

Not that I was ever eager to be "older" but always felt I was born a decade or so too late.

You have me by about six years, but I remember all that.

Bring back the dime bag! Of course it was total shit, but it was still a good time. Four beers for a buck, too.

[Benny Profane]

Yeah, really, weed was shit back then, compared to the stuff grown today.

[TomCrac]

Dare I say it, A lot of the stuff grown today is too strong? Or is that one of the signs of being too old.

[XXX-er]

yes

[KQ]

My Grandparents had a party line at their house - I could never figure it out and always ended up intruding on other people's phone converstations

traveling without credit cards,.

Oh yeah - I remember when Master Card was first introduced

[Meadow Skipper]

Yeah it was. Columbian or Oaxacan was the occasionally available top-shelf, but it cost more. Still, it was kind of fun to roll a couple hudge ones of ditch weed and work them down to a roach that got tossed. Hey, remember Thai sticks? Early quality weed. To think of smoking a big fattie of today's weed all by myself...well, that'd be the end of that evening.
