YOU'RE A GEEZER IF...

You remember when GAY meant happy and joyful.

You remember when WEED was something you pulled from your garden.

When people wore THONGS on their feet (Gasp).

When there were TELEPHONE BOOTHS on every corner.

When people didn't TWEET, but tooted quite a bit.

When you would CHOKE and CRANK your car to get it started.

When people HITCH-HIKED to get a ride.

You remember what a 45 RPM, 33 1/3 and 78 records were.
Oh, and an "8 Track".

You remember the first time you saw a "wireless" telephone. It was the size of a brick.

On Saturday morning, you could go to the movie house and see a serial, three cartoons, a double feature and get a gift of a "Big-Little Book" for a dime.

An "ICE BOX" was indeed just that and the iceman came every other day with two big blocks.

You never went to bed at night without first bringing in TWO BUCKETS AND A LUMP of coal to bank the stove for the next day. Oh, and don't forget to take out the ashes and clinkers.

Five and Dime stores were in every town. Kresse's. Woolworth. W.T.Grant.

Soda fountains were very popular and Lemon Phosphates, Iron Port and Lime Rickeys were the most popular drinks.

I could go on and on. Most of you.. maybe all of you... have no idea what I'm talking about. Oh well. I'm a true geezer and not many of us geezers "BLOG." ("Blog" isn't even listed in my Funk and Wagnalls Dictionary.)
