You recognize a Bates List Finder. Never been used...maybe a good tool for all my internet passwords...in erasable pencil of course. The wife paid a buck for it.   |

You know your old when you can’t remember why your actually here....lol
You know your old when you get up from a sitting position and start walking, once you start walking a few feet you start farting uncontrollably......stop laughing....all of you over the age of 60 have had this experience as well. Plus all you guys in your 20’s and 30’s walking around asking family members and friends to pull your finger😜😜😜👍

Heck, I can still do that to my younger grandchildren. Especially the younger one @ 11, when she sits down I can make the perfect fart sound with cupping my hands. She comes over and pokes me and tells me “ Grandpa Stop, that’s not funny “! Once she goes to sit back down once again I Cup my hand and repeat the “ double fart whammy “, that cracks her up...lol. |

Holy cow, I'd give my lefty for one of those. My Dad had one just EXACTLY like that. It used to sit in a stack between the phonebook and the telephone. And yeah, that was like our speeddial back then. Great find, man! Congratulations! |

 We didn’t need that, our party line ring was 3 rings and 3 rings again. You told the operator Get me the Feed store. You could also get the local gossip by listening in. My wife says they had 8 people on their party line. Life is too complicated now. I remember my grandpaw picking up the phone and I guess he heard the clicks picking up, he said butchering a hog this weekend, shore nuff yard was full of trucks that weekend.!

I remember those well and still use a "little black book" for my contacts ... can't trust electronics! Also, a funny one that comes to mind: You know you're getting old when even squeezing into a tight parking space brings satisfaction.  |

I have one like that but it's not A Bates, but I still use it and my local office supply still sells inserts ! And my mother, whose 93, still has and uses a black rotary phone. Some things don't change !  |

The old AT&T Princess phones were bulletproof, after MA Bell was broken up, it seemed like you hardly find a phone that didn’t sound like crap.
