I’m young at heart and ancient in body. To the kids coming into my job type I’m older than dirt. Kids these days don’t even know what a punch card and assembler are
Are you Old?
A story...The picture with the caption "What's this".......So my wife and I go on a date 46 years ago....We go to the drive in......While we are there I flash my hand across the front of the radio and the channel changes....She says how did you do that? I say Well I had a devise planted in my HS Ring...Watch...and again I flash my hand across the radio and the channel changes...She is amazed...I then show her the button on the floor for the changing the radio......You see this car had two buttons on the floor. One for the high beams and one for the radio....It also had an automatic high beam changer on the dashboard....My first car I drove in...A 1958 Cadillac......

Im Medicare old, I know all 10 items, I always loved the smell of Silly Putty.
I don't call myself old - I prefer mature and experienced.
Geez....another reminder that I am getting a little long in the tooth although there were 2 that I couldn’t recall. #2 and the magnifying glass for phone book, never have seen that one before.
29 but I have a bug for nostalgia and history. So apparently I'm old. Also, salt sucks when mixed with a dimmer switch.
Why do you think I said that in the first place.... hopefully I can remember your name at that pointBut won’t you be in like assisted living then???

I definitely remember needing a dime to make a call.
Well, empty payphone boxes, I guess. Still don't recognize them as such, but ok. Thanks!
Knowing what they are is one thing; actually having used them is something different. I had forgotten about the bright light switch on the floor.

recognizing them means you lived during the best time ever on this planet - the Goldilocks period as recognized by most scholars 1950-2000.

it could also mean you're a good student -- not necessarily old
Every damn one. And yes, I have stepped on jacks in bare feet.
I knew all but 1, but don't consider myself old. Now ask my kids the same question and...........well..............nvmd!
I already know I’m old. But there was one item I did not know.

I recognized all of those pictures, and know what they were for. I also purchased gas for $0.399 cents a gallon.
So yeah, I guess that makes me kind of old.

Well, naturally I am old since I have used many of these.
You paid when using a pay phone?
Best gift I ever had was a gadget that played the exact sound of a coin going into the pay phone slot. Never paid for a long distance call ever. Was sad when pay phones became dinosaurs.
