I'm probably getting older too, well I know I am, I'm nearly 25.

:lol: :eek: :lol:

But I'm not sure how many I remember though, if I'm thinking some of these things are what they are supposed to be.

I know for a fact I remember #s 14, 23, 16 and I think 2. I may remember #7 if you mean telephone party lines.

If any of this is from at least the early '80s, then I'm sure I was old enough to have seen it, I just don't recall it at the moment.
