Dad smoked Roi Tans (and a pipe, he still chews straight burley now at 87). Somewhere around here I've got a Roi Tan box that holds some arrow heads I've collected over the years.

I REALLY felt old when I heard songs from the 70's being called "oldies".
I was at the dentist and they had Meatloaf playing as Muzac. Yep - it was Bat Out of Hell!

You can tell you're getting old when everything hurts.
And the things that don't hurt don't work.

We had to make our own cigar boxes. And our own cigars, too.
I remember hearing one preacher explain why the Three Hebrew Children could not have been deacons. It was because their garments didn't have the smell of smoke on them!! :smilewinkgrin:
I remember playing "cops and robbers" or "cowboys and Indians" with other boys, using a stick for a gun and shouting "bang". That was a lot of fun. Kids these days have no idea what to do if they don't have a cell phone, computer, and all the other electronic equipment that I don't even know about; they have no imaginations and are easily bored.
Did you have to walk 5 miles uphill both ways to find the materials to make those cigar boxes?
In 10 feet of snow, don't you know!
I remember one game we played. We heeled out four holes in a square and one hole in middle. We then stood behind the first hole and casts dibs (I think you call thel allies) towards the holes. First one to pass all four holes and make the centre hole won all the dibs.

Yeah. And we even had to make our own hills.

We made Barbie houses out of matchboxes and wash clothes (beds) and used pieces of wood for walls.
Imaginations are wonderful things. We steal that from our children and grandchildren every time we buy them a toy that entertains them instead of teaches them to use their imaginations and be creative.

How to tell your old....
I have 4 sons (18,17, 13(next month) and 8 years old).
My oldest son just graduated high school last weekend. My second son will graduate next year. My third son is going into 8th grade. My youngest likes to play with my beard and count the grey hair.

My oldest is older than I was when I married (she's 22, I married at 20). My second is the age I was when I got engaged (she's 19, I got engaged at 18). My third is 11 and my last is 9.
Where is my cane??
