Just another I'm So Old post - -

I'm so old there were dozens of U.S. Civil War veterans still alive when I was born.

How about your "I'm so old" story?

Kennedy was president when I was born.

@gregloa I was in combat gear and my unit's tanks were on the Czech & East Germany borders awaiting orders when JFK was assassinated. FDR was still president when I was born.

@gregloa Truman was President when I was born.

I'm so old that I still read the 'I'm so old' letters published in the local newspaper.

Hearya... I routinely check up on my former workmates to see who is still with us.

Some old people say they are older than the internet. I am older than Sputnik😷

My youngest sister turned 21 the day the Sputnik news was announced on the family car's radio.

LOL - yep! No stereo/cassette player, though. And our local station didn't broadcast from midnight to 6 in the morning...

I'm so old that as a kid I had a little US Flag on a base with The Pledge of Allegiance on a plaque on the base and it sat on my night-table -- and the flag had only 48 stars and the Pledge didn't have "under God" in it.

@ChipmunkErnie

I just now googled the whys and what-fors about the "under God" addition knowing there must've been some heavy debating over its inclusion and subsequent attempts at its removal.

@rinkydinkydoink Those godless Commies made us do it!

@ChipmunkErnie It is generally considered a measure of insecurity when one has to actually state what is to everyone self evident. Like saying "I swear to god" 😷
