You Know You’re Old If You Happen To…
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!

You know you’re old if…
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 that bedroom dresser and mirror…Lol
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
Haha I don’t remember any of this. I think my grandmother had the clock but that’s about it.
