Default I'm so old that I remember when......

Pizza Hut boxes heating instructions said to reheat your pizza preheat your oven to 350 and let it warm up for 7 minutes

Fox was on channel "U"

Showing your friends you could flip the board on Astroids was cool

Our "remote" from the VCR was connected by a long cord to the VCR

Anybody else?

Yeah......you ARE NOT OLD!

...kids could ride their bikes all over and parents wouldn't worry about them.
...we were lucky if we had a VCR.
...we listened to RECORDS not CD's.
...we didn't have to go through security to get to our classes.
...Ninetendo and Atari were barely in existence.
...fast food was a rarity.
...REMOTES were a rarity...as were cordless phones, cell phones, digital cameras and computers, etc.
..."HASH" jeans were cool in Junior High.
...we could get into a movie for 2 bucks
...we could go out on Halloween by ourselves and parents were ok with that.
...living in a small town...we hardly ever locked our houses.
...we use to get our milk delivered by the milkman
... no one had their belly buttons pierced, had tatoos or had strange hairdos in different colors.

... watching bronco home games for free on what we called "the hill" - between the south stands and west stands (you could see 3/4ths of the field). Then with 6 minutes to go in the 4th quarter the ushers would let us in the stadium and we'd find a seat somewhere.
