It’s time to play YOU KNOW YOU’RE OLD IF…

Current Events :
Let’s face it, modernization has advanced by leaps and bounds over the past decade. However, it’s a ton of fun to look back at some trends we liked, things we used, or ways we did certain things 10+ years ago.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane.

YOU KNOW YOU’RE OLD IF:

You lived in a house with furniture that looked like this

Your kitchen floor had this exact linoleum

You regularly ate at this exact kitchen table

Your family owned this exact Crock Pot

A bedroom in your house had this exact dresser and mirror

You used to wake up using this exact alarm clock

Your grandma’s house had this bowl of holiday candy on the table
(even though it stuck together and was probably old)

Your house had this “tomato” straight pin holder

Your family kept a book of telephone numbers

Your family car had one key for the ignition and another for the trunk

You used to balance your checkbook and take this ledger to the bank with you

This was a staple inside your freezer

You had things that could only be opened with a spoon or a knife

You know what this set of tools was used for

Your medicine cabinet kept this cure-all inside for emergencies

THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAY!

OK WASSUP! covers Current Events:

Lol…Oh now see DJ, you just gonna “Out” me like that in front of BD and Wil and your other readers!?! Okay I’ll start with pic #1: I can honestly say, when I was growing up, No One that I personally knew had furniture that looked like that in their home. Not even in their family room…lol The same for pic #2: No one that I knew had a kitchen floor with that kind of linoleum. But the kitchen table is interesting..lol. I pride myself on having a pretty good memory, going back to the age 3. And I’m pretty sure, when I was very young, we ate a kitchen table similar to the pic shown. But by about age 6 my parents had definitely upgraded to a more modern kitchen set. My mother and grandmothers never even looked at a crockpot, let alone buy one! And absolutely “NO” to… Read more »

I remember that clock but we didn’t have that kind of clock. We did use that kind of icetray when I was really young. However, when my parents bult their home and moved us to the suburb they bought a modern refrig with an icemaker in the freezer.

Both, my grandmother and mother kept a book of telephone numbers. My grandmother kept hers updated. My mother didn’t…Lol

I don’t recall if my father and grandfather used 2 different keys for the ignition and trunk. Maybe they did(?)

My grandfather certainly used his bank ledger and took it with him to the bank. He taught my mother how to balance her checkbook by age 12.

I remember Nestle’s Quik and the nutcracker set….lol

My grandmother was a really good seamstress and she sewed all the time. But I don’t recall her ever using a “tomato” straight-pin holder.

She loved hard candy and kept a mid-size bowl of it in her living-room all year round. But it was always fresh not old and stale. She also loved chocolate and I am definitely a chocaholic…Lol
