Back in my day........

Feel free to post but you have to start out with "Back in my day..."

Back in my day when we had an Easter egg hunt we actually had to look for them, they weren't spread out in an open field for you to just walk up and grab. Oh and they were actually hard boiled eggs so in the South Easter can be hot so you better find those suckers quick or you wouldn't be happy the next day.

Back in my day, space exploration was seen as an obvious necessity.
Everyone stopped what they were doing to watch Nasa launch humans into space.

I had a "three on the Tree" 1963 Ford Falcon I bought it used for three hundred dollars in 1982. It didn't have any seat belts because they were listed in the owner's manual as "optional equipment"

Back in my day your phone number had letters of your exchange, our exchange was Crestview so our number was CR7-0108.

From a kid to his father "dad, why do people call them cordless phones"?

Back in my day you had to lick your stamps, pretty much everyone accepted personal checks, carpooling meant cram as many kids as possible into the back seat, and hand sanitizer was called soap and water.
