(Add to this all you want)
You sometimes find yourself humming/whistling/singing the theme for All in the Family.
You remember Dragnet.
You look in the morning obit's to see if you still have to go to work.
Your morning meds leave you too full for breakfast.

When your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them. When you keep more food in the refridgerator than beer. When you hear your favourite song in an elevator. When older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you. When a $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer " pretty good sheet".

You tune in the classical station in your work truck to help your blood pressure go down. You tell people your at peace.(again so you can calm down). You can remember going out on the weekend and having a great time and it only cost $40.

You remember when the gallon counter on the gas pump went faster than the money counter. Extra points if you remember the 'ding---ding---ding' as the gallons went by and the bubble with the little propeller and the words "glass must be full before and after sale". You're positively ancient if you remember when the gas station attendant had to hand pump the gas into the big jar on top of the pump. You recognize the names Arty Shaw, Jimmy Dorsey and Charley Spivak.

You remember LPs you had to have a turn table for and remember having and 8 track player and a reel to reel in the house.
You remember the mechanical numbers clicking by as the gas pump went ding...ding...ding.
You remember Matchbox cars only being sold in the gas station by the register.
The gas attendant always offered to check your oil and wash your windows.
You fart dust.

Before VHS and Betamax, there was 8MM and super 8.  Hmmm, how many remember that Betamax was the forerunner of Blue Ray?
