I'm so old I Remember when:

Listen here whippersnapper its 9:00 pm with a 5:30 am start to the day over this way.

Remind me not to move there. Mornings are bad for me.

We could really do one dumb thing with cars back in the day. If the lawn mower or your neighbor's lawn mower ran out of gas most every day kind of folks had a gallon jug for lawn mower gas. Glass jug was bad enough but we used a small diameter flexible hose to put down in the cars gas tank and sucked on it to siphon gas from the car for the lawn mower.... or even a gallon to take to a friend who had ran out of gas on the road somewhere. I never got a mouth full but some people did. Now I think there is an anti theft device that will not let you do this.

The fumes were bad enough but that mouthful was downright nasty and took awhile to get rid of the taste.

I'd say this might compare to my big goof up. I reached once for a bottle of mouthwash and took a slug only to panic with a mouth full of rubbing alcohol.... Liquid Fire.

We played 4 sq in the recess area, jump rope and Miss Mary Mac. We also had Party-line house phones

I can still hear the sound of the ball.

This TV looks almost the same as my old microwave.

Agree - I had to do a double then a triple take. I thought he was trying to get one over on us. What finally convinced me was the three cable connectors on the lower corner. Microwaves don't have those.

Lol, I'm usually at work by 5:30. Been a little behind since the time change but I'm almost back on schedule.

Welcome back. I've missed your contributions.

I remember I actually believed in the existence of easter bunnies.

Being retired I really have no reason to be up at 5:30 except for the little lady getting up to head out to work. But, I do like being up when not many others aren’t. Does the time change bother you much? I don’t really ever notice it that much.

Night person are you? That was my domain in my youth as well. But then this happens.
