For those who remember more of the items than I do, I wouldn't call you old but instead more experienced. Shoot, I've been working my whole life to get there. Those experiences have contributed to your more complete personality. They help you relate to more people. Isn't that one of the good things about social sites? Relating to people? Consider it an honor that you have seen what you've seen, done what you've done, and you're still here. If you're reading this, then so far you've been invincible. So far. Sounds like a great accomplishment to me. Go ahead, have a dose of nostalgia and take comfort in owning it. You've earned it, scars and all. I'll see you when I get there.

Thanks for that little walk down memory lane where I am proud...  to say I remembered every single one. The tv test pattern has now been replaced with the infomercial. Who could have guessed??? I have some friends that own a music store here and they put their Mom's aluminum Christmas tree in the window at Christmas...it turns and has the green, red and blue lights underneath so it changes colors. Despite all this...I refuse to see myself as old...I see myself as...well.....very experienced!!! Thanks and a green thing for you for this effort.
