When being able to find the tums is the best thing ever at the moment.
It's 1230... I want to be sleeping and I'm needing tums... What has happened in my life that this feels too late and grease has me needing tums....

I dream in black in white and I remember these being in the stores

That's how you know you're old.

When you remember stuff and you talk about and nobody has a clue what you're talking about.

Like this vacuum tube tester. Do you know what is? Did you ever see one before? Why did they have them in the stores?

@HumanEarth :) I remember a neighbor complaining about her husband's "pack a day" habit costing them 45 cents a day.

That's nuts and when I was kid. The Flintstones were selling Winston cigarettes. "Nothing taste like a cigarette should"
