Living too Long by Ted Bacharach MD (Retired)


You you have been around a while if:


  • You have witnessed the change from “FIVE & TEN CENT STORE” to “DOLLAR STORE” and even these are failing.

  • Milk Cans are useful only as decoration.

  • Saturday movies for kids, once cost 25 cents,------ this would not even pay for popcorn.

  • Gasoline prices have changed from cents to dollars per gallon and you even have to pump it yourself.

  • Classmates are no longer to be found in the telephone book.

  • Radio programs are only for the car.

  • High school seniors no longer ride the bus.

  • Pregnancy was something to worry about.

  • Cameras took pictures on film.

  • A letter could be mailed for three cents.

  • The phone was limited to the home or office.

  • No television.

  • Your doctor had a name.
