One of these days you will also grow old! Your looks will fade
and your body will fail and breakdown.

My mom and dad listened to a lot of country when I was a kid.

These are the oldest I can remember:





However this was one of my dad's favorites when I was really small:

I'm right behind you old friend.






... but if anyone asks, I'll be 49 for the next 10 years.

Old people are NOT AS GROSS

As unwarrantedly cheeky hostile, arrogant, smug, arbitrary,

rejecting biases against them.

You too are suffering from a disease my friends and I frustratingly refer to as "O.L.D."


Can't find your car keys ? O.L.D.

Crick in your neck ? O.L.D.

Noisy kids playing outside ? O.L.D.

Observing where the bathrooms are when entering any building ? O.L.D.




When is science going to find a cure for this dastardly disease ?

All true, unfortunately.

I wish they would hurry up, my odometer is about to turn over again. Why is it I can forget everything but the one day I wouldn't mind forgetting?

Old people know how to properly end a sentence and punctuate. Period.

I'm not telling my age....but i remember when this song came out.....

This came out in the Summer of 1966.... I was 15 years old. This was really hot stuff then, ahead of it's time and not psycadelic or all druggy. I lived where this was happening, in Southern California...... when it was a great place.

Great song, I have it on my playlist. One of the feel good summer songs from the sixties. I love the video, haven't seen it before, thanks! The shop reminds me so much of a shop I used to go to called, "The Cricket". It was in a small shopping center next to my subdivision in Houston. A really sweet British lady owned it.

My friends and I were very young, maybe 10 - 12 years old but we had a blast trying on the clothes and going to the "special room" in the back. Oh yeah, that's right, "the room". You'd part the beads and enter the Twilight Zone. Black lights and glowing neon posters. Jim Morrison's was my favorite. Of course we also bought the "love bead" necklaces, incense and the cinnamon toothpicks at the cashier.

Thanks for the video, it brought back a lot of great memories,

ETA: Just remembered, my friends and I would collect spools of telephone cable, all the colors and make rings and bracelets from it, the owner used to trade with us for posters, etc. I can still hear "Incense and Peppermints" playing in the store while we were negotiating, also "Scarborough Fair", lol. Great times!

a reply to: DontTreadOnMe

Oh yeah, I remember that spilling out of my sister's room along with this, and I found where she hid her wine, lol. She couldn't complain to our parents about it. Catch-22, love that movie. Yeah, that's right, I was the perfect little sister of the 60's & 70's, y'alls nightmare. Gotta lot of great dinners and Scorpions at Trader Vic's out of it in the 70's thanks to my sister's fake I.D. and all on her. Never threatened her, she was just paranoid thinking I would do something, never did.
