Ah, another memory just percolated up: you know you're getting old when you remember that doctors once made housecalls! Our pediatrician came to see us once and I told him I was busy and could he please wait!
And when you remember your grandmother's songs, and look at what things cost then! Sorta like Just Don's time -
I walked three blocks, and I turned the corner And I went right into a bakery shop. I picked three donuts right outa the grease, And handed the lady a five-cent piece.
She looked at the nickel and she looked at me, And she said, "This nickel's no good to me. It's got a hole in the middle and it's all the way through," But I said, "The donuts got a hole in them too!"

Robin,
Love the poem...
You know you're getting old when you go to visit your aunt at the assisted living, and one of the residents asks you if you live there.
I was highly insulted, but just said, 'no ma'am.'
My husband said, 'don't worry about it, she's just senile.'

James,
My husband wants to know if you have hair in your nose and ears yet?
Of course, he doesn't but just wants to know if you do.

Very funny James!
Please remember to respect your elders if you want to continue taking part in this thread.
We may have to have Tutu delete you.
- That's right, linky! Tutu has the magic button at her fingertips and so does Dogsandcats!

Our neighbors got the milk bottles at the door. We were not that rich and bought ours at the grocery store!
You REALLY know you're old when you remember $.17 a gallon gasoline and $.03 stamps!

I remember .20 per gallon; that's pretty darn close.
I didn't realize getting the milk from the milk truck made us rich! I am glad to finally know that we were.
