I can manage 21, but I think the 4 I miss out on are only due to living outside the US, 2,9,10 &13, we had our own green stamps so I count that one. I also recall the days of zero TV channels, then a few years with only 1, by the time colour came along we were up to 3 channels.
By the way does NTSC (American TV standard) still stand for "Never Twice the Same COlour"??

I'm getting scatter brained myself. I don't know of the times I
locked the door and left the keys hanging outside in the lock
to discover them when I go outside. I own about three pairs
of reading glasses in case I need a pair. I went to church last
wednesday and left my phone at home. I had to go to the
church office to use their phone because I forgot my cell
phone. Completely forgot that I had a doctors appointment
last monday. The bus driver knocked at my door and I was
not ready for nothing. I told him to wait until friday.
Knuckle headed stuff like that. Believe it or not AARP keeps
sending me invitations to join them because I will be fifty
in July. I feel old enough without being with people old
enough to be my parents as my peers.:grin::nut::lol:

I agree CD that there are benifits to geting old. Building sandcastles on the beach "to amuse the grandchildren". Re watching Mary Poppins - ditto. Selective deafness, which the more mature can get away with. Even dementia has its benifits. You can hide your own Easter eggs and you only ever have to buy one video. I am also relived to hear that others keep their toaster in the fridge. Just don't put the cat in the microwave.

Some young B****s did just that to a kitten a few months ago and of course were too young to take the consequences, makes you wonder eh.

The yobs in a microwave...now there's an idea.
There are a couple of 17-18 year old yobs on a bus that I catch frequently. They act like they own the place, and sometimes try and bully primary school kids. It's almost painful to watch sometimes.

The trouble is if you say or do anything you get a mouthfull of foul abuse and if you follow your instincts and clip their ear you end up in court. Recently an 80 year old lady who uses a zimmer frame to walk jabbed her finger at a yobo who was abusing her and was succesfully prosocuted for assult. Any decent old fashioned copper would have straightened the yobo out pretty smartly and sent a message that that sort of behaviour would not be tolerated. The scum these days have learnt that they can get away with anything.
