Yeah, but you're in Arkansas... Just Kidding (I'm in North Carolina, so I shouldn't talk).

One item that should be on the list is the good old 8 track player (either car mounted-externally to the dash) or the deluxe home stereo with quadraphonic sound.

You are getting old if you remember the milkman coming with a horse drawn cart.

You are getting old if you remember using an Xray machine when trying on a new pair of shoes.

You are getting old if you remember the Doctor coming to the house.

You are getting old if you remember being able to buy a good used car for $50.00, with the plates on it already and insurance was only a suggestion.

You are getting old if you completed your schooling before there was any such thing as "fast food".

You are getting old if you were the first one on the block with a reverb unit in your car.

You are getting old if you had a telephone made out of wood.

before the beatles and long hair kids had brushcuts. the butch wax was used to make the short hair stick up in front.

HaHa - That's another one.. your getting old if you recognize George Goebel. I was a rural hic that never heard of butch wax, but then again I didn't know what a curb was till I was 13.

Butch wax, eh. Guess thats the same sort of stuff as brill cream?

Actually small cokes do come in glass bottles again. Well at least here in Aus you can get them again, but its better value to get the small coke in a plastic bottle.
