Thread: How old are you? More fun.

MountainDog

Thanks again for the cool thread.
Tons of fun.

Ps. 1948, here. So do not feel alone.
I earned my grey-white hair. It is the "new"
blonde.
And I remember the '60's. Was an important time
for America. Just do not see many of "us" around anymore.
I believe they have all been assimilated into corporate worlds.

I had to endure the JFK Assassination on TV for a whole week,
And I remember watching lee Harvey Oswald "get shot" "live", because there were no cartoons on that day.

JFK's speech "Ask not what your Country can do for you but what you can do for your country" is why I went into the Army. I was in my 2nd day of basic training when he was assassinated.

What was your favorite Dinosaurs when you was Young.

Dimetrodon. I thought the outrageous fin was cool.

Yes, thanks for a fun discussion!

I have a fun one for you all with age.

My husband from Chicago, remembers:

the Beatles invasion
Kennedy's speech
Kennedy's assasination
only 8 ounce bottles of Coke


Me, from Pacific Northwest remembers:

16 ounce bottle of Coke (glass) as well as quart bottles of Coke with twist off lids, and pull tab cans of Coke for 20 cents
do not remember Kennedy, his speech or his assasination
the Beatles were old stuff by my time

However, I do remember watching the news as a kid, and seeing all of these people jumping on a helicopter, hanging off of the skids, trying to escape Vietnam, by that time, my future husband was home in the U.S. and stationed to another Air Force base in Arizona.

Can anyone guess our ages?

I remember when Coke came in returnable bottles and ring tabs pulled off of the can. I remember when we gawked in amazement at the technological marvel that was Pong. I remember when getting straight A's was a cause for envy, not derision. I remember when each schoolday began with a morning devotional that included a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance with our hands over our hearts. I remember when stewardesses were called stewardesses.

Anybody want to guess how old I am?

I guess about the same age as me, because I remember those things too.
