A birthday suggestion

It's neat to see that what I did wasn't unique.

Thanks everyone!

How old is old?

I don't know exact numbers, but I'm pretty sure he's been around since the dinosaurs. Really old.

As a young man, I purchased 8-track tapes to listen to music.

How old is old?

any time after 40, in my expert opinion

I buy my self socks every year since. they dont go well with my flip flops, but who is worried these days.

Bahahaha! I'm over 50 so I'm old, but still a kid at heart.

I come from a big family so our house was always the gathering place. My mother said it was easier for our friends and neighbors to pack up 2 or 3 kids to visit than it was for her to to pack up eight; later there was 10 of us. 5 girls. 5 boys.

We had the only television in the area so folks came over to watch; usually on Friday and Sunday evenings. The numbers and frequency got greater when the color TVs came out, though the only thing in color at first was the news and the test pattern. I believe there where only 2 or 3 channels back then.

When telephones became available, in homes, we had party lines before private lines became available.

I am not saying another word, or you might believe me if I told you I used to date Methuselah.

Well 'tis my latest trip around the sun today.

My funnestess birthday was when I bought tickets to Spamalot for me, my friend and his wife. A round or two, some real entertainment for a change, and being mellow.

After 21, and the courageous drinking of my 30s... your OP is more my style!

And duh ETA.... happy birthday DBC!!

LOL! I remember some of those things too. I'll be 59 tomorrow, so I guess next year I'll have to start a 60 and over club. I still don't know how old DB is. Confession time Cowboy!
