    It was no big deal because we only had 3 channels

    Yes but those channels were spaced apart so it took an effort to turn the knob to those other channels. A few clicks at least.

    It did take some effort to turn the knob - How would you log that under exercise ?

    When you turn on the TV by standing up and walking over to it then look for Gunsmoke you know your memory has left you behind!

    I remember having to get up & walk across the room to change the channel.

    I lmao when my ex-hubby lost the remote & panicked because he wouldn't be able to turn on the TV & change the channel. He's a year older than me, so I reminded him of our youth. He wasn't amused, but I was :naughty:

    It was no big deal because we only had 3 channels

    And an antenna.

    At least 20 cals per click, plus cals for walking across the room to change the channel, plus cals for adjusting the antenna. That adds up quickly. :lol:

    And for the switch on the floor for the high beams? I miss THAT distinctive sound.

    When every conversation with longterm work contacts quickly becomes "When can you go [retire]?" because they know you've been working for a gazillion years.

    Restaurants are always so dark. And the print on the menus is so small. I usually end up whipping out my phone to shine the light and magnify the type.

    My right knee hurts now and again. Old knee injury when I was younger lets me know to slow down now. The problem is I am only 33.

    When they talk about some famous person, singer, or actor, who got married , divorced, OD'd , or died, and I never heard of him or her, or the TV show or movie they did , or heard any of their music or know the name of their band. That's OK because I wouldn't like the music anyway

    When I go into 'young people' trendy stores and have no idea who's singing the song or what the song is playing or I think to myself that this sht music is too loud.

    If they were playing ZZ Top then the volume would be fine

    The most popular artist of today's youth seems to be a group named "autotuned"

    Before I knew it existed, I thought my dad was magically turning on the high beams.
