Are you OLD.

I finally had to let go of my dream of being a rock star.

At least I bet you were in a big club of dreamers. Near every kid I was in school with had that dream.

I remember all but the last one. I had to read this thread because I turn 70 this year, so that eliminates any doubt.

- I remember Windows 95 and 98 on dad's laptop. Some games.
- DSL Connection noise is wonderful... like crickets almost. Sometimes I could start and finish a meal by the time a page loaded.

I recall using dial-up internet when I should have been working on my "homework".
Back then, anything and everything was available on the internet.
There was no "dark web", there was just the internet - a weird and wonderful place with no limits, only your imagination.

That's dial-up, DSL would have been "fast"

Sounds like the 33.6 or 56K era too! You never experienced slow, like 300 baud, lol.

Congrats on getting to the 7th ten!
Wife n I are both 66 yrs. We both say we still feel like 18 yrs old inside but I cant see anything close to that in mirror.
What I see these days scares me because it does not even feel like that is me. So much Snow on the roof and the white facial hair.
I had a friend I was going out to eat lunch with tease me and ask me about chickens. CHICKEN?! What CHICKENS..?..!..?
As I looked at him dumbfounded he laughed and said "come on, lets get movin Colonel Sanders!"

My first 8 tracks were The Guess Who and James Gang LIVE @ Carnegie Hall.
LOL Wife + I started to call our local classic rock station "the Journey station!" its all they seem to play over and over.

I got an 8 Track of best of CCR from a TV ad from K-tel !

Yes

I had that exact same coffee table pictured in #7, and still have a full set, (4), of the stack tables sitting across from it. I just got rid of the coffee table 3-1/2 years ago when we moved here. My heater and A/C controls shown in #27, are exactly the same as the controls in my 1991 F-150, which I'm still driving.

I still use 35 MM film canisters to keep small nuts and screws in, (#29). (Haven't found anything better). And my wife still has at least half a dozen Corning Ware casserole dishes like #10. Along with a set of Corning Ware Corelle serving plates, cups and saucers.

They're all nicked up around the edges from almost 50 years of going through dishwashers. But they are nice and light, and are all but unbreakable... Which is why we still have them.

I also still have the alarm clock, (#23), at my bedside. I had an even older one that had the numbers on a reel that would flip over every minute, (pre LED). But it finally broke. I bought it in the very early 70's, so I got my money's worth out of it.

At 69 years old some days I feel young...other days I feel old...

I had a factory 8 track player in my 68 Dodge Charger...

Is 40.75 years old? I believe it is the beginnings of.

40 is the new 30...

I think the cigarette machine is not as old as the rest of the items in the series. Cigarettes on that machine are $7.25 a packet and the machine has a dollar bill acceptor. I am not a smoker, but I don't think $7.25 for a pack of cigarettes is accurate for the suggested era of time.

.25 cents from machines in mid '60's.

I'm older, not old (thread subject line).
As said above "17 y/o most days, I hit a 70 y/o (my age) once a wk."
Those come more often as I speed toward my 8th decade. But...
the mind is still "17". Y dont those same 35 y/o ladys like me as they did
in my teens'n twenties (girl friend's moms)?

Indeed. And not even that long ago.

The chili mac is more recent, not sure we ate that in the 1960's.

The digital clock like that, 1980's, at the earliest, not 70's and I must say I had the EXACT clock past 2000

 

[chrlsful]

I still use most the stuff in that seta pic.

 

[Tdog02]

Wow, I never knew I was growing up in the good old days. Got each and every one.

 

[ZZman]

Yes I am...

 

[RTexasF]

Think we paid about a dollar to 1.25 a pack

While at sea (USN) in the 60's I paid $1.05 for a carton of smokes. Also, remember all items so old as rocks.

Me too. Remember buying that same alarm clock at Sears.
