    You know you ARE getting old when . . .

    You start looking back at things you wished you had kept from your younger years because you liked them so much.

    In the 1970's, I had a British tweed sport coat with a belt in the back. I see some of these coats on the shows I watch from time-to-time on BritBox. (I had a similar styled summer suit, too)

    So, I Googled for info about the style and by magic, a listing of a vintage coat appeared on eBay. The coat is my size at 43 Long. I am struggling "NOT" to purchase.

    NOTE: My COVID episode in March of this year is the reason my body returned to almost the size I was in the 1970's.

    I had to reply YES to this question below, but I don't really remember doing it.

    You may be old, but are you "Installed Windows 95 from a bunch of floppy disks" old?

    You know you are getting older when you decide to do this.

    I remember playing that with my sisters. Do they even still sell those?

    Probably banned due to choking hazards galore. :#

    I think I'll look for any stats on this toy. :o

    I didn't see anything negative about the game; in fact, just the opposite. The creator started in his basement and then moved to a building in Tennessee with 125 employees. He then sold it. He had a few successful games/toys also.

    He passed up buying the rights to Scrabble. He ALWAYS regretted that!

    The Cootie game is marketed by Milton Bradley, which is owned by Hasbro.

    I had it as a kid. I think I might still have the buzzer from it.

    As a kid, I learned to steady my hand/nerves playing that game. ;)

    The older versions were much harder. The tolerances were much tighter back in the day.

    Tom, the newer game has a setting for sensitivity. The kids started out on the easiest and took it from there. Also has a mute setting which after a few hours saved my partial sanity.

    After getting your hair cut, there's more and more white hair lying on the floor at the end of each one.

    That's if you're lucky enough to have a full head or any hair. I'd take a full head of grey over having to buzz my head because I'm losing it
