Gabby at the cook shack had this one and I thought it was worth reviving for a second glance see what you think. How many do you remember ?

Head lights dimmer switches on the floor.
Ignition switches on the dashboard.
Heaters mounted on the inside of the fire wall. Real ice boxes.Pant leg clips for bicycles without chain guards. Soldering irons you heat on a gas burner.Using hand signals for cars without turn signals.

Count all the ones that you remember, NOT the ones you were told about ! Your ratings at the bottom.

1. Blackjack chewing gum
2. Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water

If you remembered 0-5 = You're still young.
If you remembered 6-10 = You are getting older.

I might be older than dirt but those memories are the best part of my life.

Thanks for stopping by Darrell, We're all geting older but the question is "is there anybody out there like me, older than dirt?". I took the quizz and found out that I'd used 17 of these items in my early years of life . Ieven remember using a horse drawn plow and disk to work the fields.

Good to know I'm not older than dirt yet. I remembered very few of those. I'd been told about a lot of them, but hadn't experienced them personally.

Hi!
You may probably be very curious to know how one can manage to receive high yields on investments.
There is no need to invest much at first.
You may commense earning with a sum that usually is spent
for daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
I have been participating in one project for several years,
and I'll be glad to share my secrets at my blog.

Please visit my pages and send me private message to get the info.

P.S. I make 1000-2000 per day now.
