I felt a little young for Voicelady's list and a little old for JoAnna's.

On Voicelady's, for example, I do remember having a rotary dial phone
that rang, but I don't remeber ever having only one in the house. Maybe
we were the first on our block to have two.

I remember having a black and white TV, but not watching Vietnam news
on it. I do, however, remember my mother sitting with her eyes glued
to it while the man on the screen kept saying (to my young ears),
"Blah blah blah Watergate blah blah."

I don't throw my arm in front of my driving companion, but I think think
that has more to do with being a non-parent than with my age.


That said, I have another Dave-contemporary list. BTW, I do remember
"HEY YOU GUYS," but I never knew that was Rita Moreno. The first show
of hers I saw, where I knew her by name, was the TV version of "9 to
5". She played Violet (Lily Tomlin's character in the movie).

Well, enough babbling, here it is (with apologies for any Americentrcism):

- You coveted that brand new, state of the art computer, the Comodore 64.

- You went to see the original Star Wars when it first came out (before
any sequels, prequels or digital remastering).

- You role played--live--to "The Brady Bunch," "The Partridge Family,"
and/or "Gilligan's Island".

- You remember what you were doing when you first heard President Reagan
was shot.

- You watched "The Electric Company" and "Big Blue Marble" as a
kid. (Okay, I guess that intersected with Dave's list a bit).

- You tore the tabs *all the way off* your soda cans.

- You thought "banana" seats on bicycles were "neat".


I have a feeling I'm forgetting some, but I think that's enough for now.
