When NAM was MINI Cooper on Line. At least you are older than dirt in MINI years.

 

If you remember when this thread started....

 

Don't have to be older than dirt to remember those, I have one in my garage.

You're older than dirt if you don't remember

 

When tap water was ok to drink and you could not buy bottled water everywhere.

 

:cornut: When to call some one, you walked up to the wooden wall phone with the 8 x 12in secretary hanging down at 45 degrees, adjusted the mouth piece to your height, held down the ear piece on the left on the hook, and cranked the generator. Then you put the ear piece to your ear and waited for the operator to say, "Operator"(in my little town of Buda, Texas at the private Buda Telephone Company, she didn't say Central, she said Operator). Then you said," Aunt Nell(she was my aunt), let me holler at Uncle Gerald(her son)." Aunt Nell(knowing the location of every one in town) would say," he's out making deliveries(he was the grocer in Buda) but Mary(his wife and another aunt of mine) is at the store do you want to holler at her?" "Yes Aunt Nell" and she would put you through. Of course if she wasn't busy otherwise, she would listen in keeping up on the goings ons in Buda, Texas. Need local news, the location of any one in town, or have an emergency, holler at Nell Montague Operator Buda Telephone Company but, NEVER after 9pm unless it was a true emergency or you'd get the worst tongue lashing of your life.circa 1955

Slime.

When I was a kid, I accidentally left a can of that on my shag carpet overnight, in our new house. It turned it into something the consistency of steel wool...

Back then, everyone had shag carpet, either Lime green, or regurgitated Tang orange. Fortunately, we had the more upscale green, so it went unnoticed until I went away to college. By that time, the Statue of Limitations had run out, and I missed (just barely) capital punishment.

 

Impossible statement. It's like asking "If god can do anything, can he/she make a rock too heavy for him/her to lift?".

Because if you were TRULY at Woodstock, there is absolutely no way you'd be able to remember it. 12% of all people who were actually there can't even remember their last name.

 

When the starter button was on the floor.

 

When the auto parts store guy knew what you need without a computer.

 

Older than dirt? Back in the day, we didn't have dirt. We only had gravel...




...and we liked it.

 

I still have one and it still works.

 

Life before Tech.

People went outside to talk to each other.
