Dont cook tonight get, Chicken Delight !

Ahhhh,those were the days my friend,we thought they would never end!

Seemed to me she was pretty much everywhere. Someone paid for me to play in a celebrity golf tournament. My group included Rhonda Shear. I had never heard of her. A b version Elvira? But she was so nice. And funny. At the end of the 3 day tournament she invited me with her new husband to eat dinner with her "slutty sister" or something like that they called her.
I'm feeling old when I mentioned to my son in law that Eddie Haskell was an inspiration to my generation and he replied, "Who is that".

The days of Milkman deliveries and drive-ins seems so long ago now.

Instead we have marijuana delivery and Netflix.

I have two drive-ins not far from me. I guess I am lucky.

Only 330 left in the US now.

Back in 1970 I had a cop search me and found my pot, 1/2 an oz. I was really scared as pot back then carried 20 to 40yrs but he poured it out into the river and told me to get my ass out of there and never let him see me there again. I got the hell outta there!

I had something similar happen. I know that brand of fear.

A cop pulled me over one night with a few buddies in the car, found my pipe and a small bag. He hands me the pipe and says "See how far you can throw that", so I whipped it into a field. Then he told us to get the hell out of there. He kept the bag.

And half of those "celebrities" are just famous for being famous - who gives a flying fuc$ what a Kardashian is doing???

20-40 wow that's steep!

In 1994 I finished a round of golf at my old country club in Tucson. Car rolls up, lowers window and yells out Drop Those Clubs. FBI. Then they laugh. No guns drawn. An hour later the lead agent tells me I'm looking at 85 years or something. (for pot) (alot pot) I responded that I was sorry but I didn't have that much time left. I was already 35 years old. I wouldn't describe the feeling as scared as it was probably more of survival mode. I was fortunate to be taken to a federal prison that day that had a pre trial area where I knew people who made it as easy as possible for me.

Shit I was only 15yrs old then so the prospect of 20yrs locked up was not in my plans. I just got lucky really the cop gave me a break.

Dumbest shit ever that they could give someone that type of draconian sentence. But they did sometimes.

There was a time in Minneapolis ( 1960's ) if the cops got tired of dealing with you, they'd haul you down and you could enlist or got to jail.

LTG : )

And many ended up at Camp Pendelton here locally. There was an awful lot of marines here back then that told the same type of story from all over the country.

I was in the navy and stationed with lots of marines. There were several who had been given the option of jail or the marines.

That is also how Gunnery Sgt. R. Lee Ermy ( Full Metal Jacket, Mail Call) wound up in the marines.

A friend of mine ended up in the Marines that way.

When you can make it through this whole thing.

When that truck you bought when you was a teen, that you have been using as a spare forever, gets comments at the gas station while you are filling it up like "wow, you don't see many of those anymore, I am surprised it still runs".

When forcing a fart becomes risky business.

Nothing ruins a day more than shitting your pants as hard as you can.

I know all about that. I have heard when you get older you can no longer trust a fart, and I agree 100%.

And a lot of times that sucks, you find a bathroom/restroom, thinking you are about to explode with shit, and no, it was just air, and could have been done a long time ago without all the suffering.

A lot of things about getting old sucks, and farts are a very major part of all that.

I put farts as #2, (no pun intended), behind what your teeth does, and the greedy dentists waiting for you to pay them a visit. (my teeth are fine at the moment, but I have seen what others have been through).

When the Bay City Rollers are state of the art.

Holy Cow, are they in middle school when this photo was taken?
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night....

...when a fart becomes...oh, nevermind.

Teeth. Did you say teeth. After I retired in 2014 with no kind of insurance, in 2015, I had to have a 30 old crown removed due to a cavity getting in under the crown. Cost: $2300.00.

Not long after that, the same $2300.00 tooth needed root canal. This required drilling a hole in my brand new tooth. I forgot how much this one cost me.

Tomorrow, I get to see the dentist for...drum roll...another root canal. The cost will be $1,063.00.

And lest I forget, I had to have some serious flling work done on one of my teeth in the back of my mouth. One year later, that tooth developed a crack down in a root and had to be pulled.

With what I have had to spend on dental since 2014, I could have bought a nice class A pinball machine.

Buy a Dremel tool and a bottle of Jack.
Same here, cracked molar that needed a crown cost $2400.

Kind of makes you wish you had listened to your dentist when you were a kid and properly brushed AND flossed every day.

When you learn you are now older than this guy.

...Or you realize that you're older than Granny was when the Beverly Hillbillies first aired.
...or older than Uncle Joe Carson on Petticoat Junction.

One of my mishaps was chewing on some Milk Duds. Same thing. Pulled the back part of my tooth off. That's when I started thinking about the engineering of tooth design and dentistry. The human bite can be 162 pounds per square inch. That's a lot of pressure and stress when you try to crunch that jaw breaker. Teeth can crack.

Uncle Joe was dentist as well as an actor.

" Moving back to Eugene, Edgar and his wife opened a private practice. From 1930-37, Edgar was chief of oral surgery at the Eugene Hospital Clinic, but managed to find time to hold a position as assistant director in the UO drama department and to found the city's Very Little Theatre."

You know you are an old fart if you remember Ipana Toothpaste

Atomic fire ball ended up costing me 10 grand a few years ago.

And his dog kept him from the devil/hell behind the first gate.

LTG : )

My sister texted a pic to the family of my dad and my niece when she was a newborn - I'm about 3 years older than my dad was in the pic. Niece is about to get married, 27 years old. Pic from 1993.

Someone stop this ride, I wanna get off.

PyCoPay (sp?), Kolynos, Ipana...
extinct toothpaste brands.
I think Gleem might still be around.
Is Geritol still around?
Carter's Little Liver Pills?
What about Vitalis, Brylcreem, Williams 'Lectric Shave, Rise shaving cream...?

I recently had the same experience. I have an old family photo in a cabinet, and while looking at it one day, I realized that I am now older than my dad was when that picture was taken. Man, this going fast...

Yes, I knew that!

My wedding anniversary is coming up, and I realized that I'm older than my dad was at my wedding. He's going on 94!

Welcome to The Hotel California. You can get off any time you like
But you can never leave.

Yeah. But I said it

Yes, DirecTV provides a little info about the cast of the shows and Arthur Hunnicutt was born in 1910, making him 52 when that episode of Twilight Zone first aired in 1962.

And if the plot works, why not do it again?

You have DirecTV? I'm ready to dump them. $130/month for reruns and drug ads is a bit much!

Sominex?

I still remember the jingle:
Take sominex tonight and sleep
safe and restful sleep, sleep, sleep.

Were not old, I went to my aunts 106 birthday yesterday. I feel like a kid now.

I don’t know why you hired Direct TV in the first place.

All the pay TV shows just could not keep their hands from the advertising cookie jar.

I booted cable TV in 2004 and never regretted it.

I don't pay that much, but am considering dumping them as well and going back with antenna because there may not be a football season and that is the main reason I have it and they have been giving me Sunday Ticket free. But we also watch Nascar and half the races don't come over the air so would have to find another service for that.

All in all DirectTV has been giving me pretty good discounts with no contracts at this point. And I have been using the DVR service. Someday I may get into the 21st century and check out these streaming services.
