I am. To find out if you are, read the following: The Good Ole Days
To test your memory of those days, check out the list below to see how much you remember from back then. What you recall may well reveal your age, so be careful. 1. Head lights dimmer switches on the floor 2. Ignition switches on the dashboard 3. Heaters mounted on the inside of the fire wall 4. Pan leg clips for bicycles without chain guards 5. Using hand signals for cars without turn signals 6. Blackjack or Cloves chewing gum. 7. Wax coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water 8. Candy cigarettes 9. Soda pop machines that dispensed bottles 10. Coffee shops with tableside jukeboxes 11. Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers 12. Party lines telephones 13. Newsreels before the movie 14. Butch hair wax 15. Telephone numbers with a word prefix like (Plaza 6933) 16. Peashooters 17. Howdy Doody 18. 45 RPM records 19. S & H Green Stamps 20. Hi-fi’s 21. Metal ice trays with levers to pop out the cubes 22. the Packard or Studebaker automobile 23. Roller skate keys 24. Drive-in movies 25. Real ice boxes If you remembered 0-5, you’re still young If you remembered 6-10, you are getting older If you remembered 11-15, don’t tell your age. If you remembered 16-25, your’re older than dirt!

I'm in the 0-5 category, but I still consider myself old as dirt. At least my bones tell me they're that old.

I remember lots. 13 different things. I;m close to old as dirt, even though I've only been on this planet for soon to be 51 years, I've seen a lot in those years.

In that case it must not be an age thing more geographical since I thought we were somewhere in same age range.
