You know you're a geezer when.......................

Not to mention Blue Chip Stamps.

We had an S&H Store here in town when I was a kid. Couldn't walk into it's later incarnation as Woodcrafter's store w/o remembering those trips as a kid to redeem the stamps.

I can still taste them.

Yuck taste,but it was fun.The last "stamps" that we used were from Sharon's aunts cigarette
packs.We cashed them in for some baby things.At the time our daughter was just a newborn.
Time flies (47 years).
But as a kid I remember the S&H stamps we would get at the stores in Philadelphia.
Deezerdom is fun.

. . . you remember your mother letting you stick S&H Green Stamps in the saver book.

"Letting you" child labor laws were abolished. More like you do it!

I used to be BOLD, but somewhere along the way I lost the B.

Just home from father-in-law's 90th birthday. His family is known for good humor. One of the gifts he got was this.

That's great exercise for us old people.
If we can remember where we put it.

........................when three bars meant the Town Pump, the Liar's Bench, and the Pine Lodge.

My wife just stopped and said "You weren't even listening, were you?"

I thought that was a pretty weird way to start a conversation.

............................when a touted "lifetime warranty" seems short.

...............................when I drove up to a neighbor's road side mailbox and ordered a burger, fries, and a small coke.

Far more real than not.

I am pretty sure the new batch of AA batteries I just bought have a lifetime expiration date.

Are you sure it's "geezerhood" and not something else. Did you get your order?

I may not party like I used to, but
if I take a nap, I can stay up 'til dark.

More geezer thoughts. Fond memories of taking long drives on back roads to anywhere ‘just because’…before gas costs, climate knowledge, etc. in my ‘56 Oldsmobile I inherited from Grandma, What a time we had.

Those are happy geezer memories!

When my first wife and I married, I rented a two bedroom cabin on a 40 acre ranch backing up against forest service land for $90 per month. Gas was around a quarter per gallon. We could buy a week's groceries at the store 35 miles away for $15. We had two cars insured; her 1967 VW Beetle, my 1961 Cadillac convertible. I made $1.25 per hour.

Oh how I remember those days too! I thought it'd be really something if I lived in a $100,000 house. Now I do!
