    I'm older than dirt. I remember all the neighbor kids getting together to play outside. Cowboys and Indians, kick the can, riding bikes, and in the winter time my dad would flood our vacant lot over and we would skate and build snow forts. We spent a lot of time outside.

    Let's not forget ironing all of our clothes with an iron that was heated up on the stove. BTW I guess I am older than dirt as I remember all of the things listed. LOL

    You may be older than dirt, but I waited tables at the Last Supper.

    Back when dirt was young and so was I, we had milk, in glass bottles, delivered in a horse-drawn car. This was in a city of about 30,000 people.

    I remember all of the above, plus, we lived on a farm with no indoor toilet until I graduated from high school, no T.V.and no phone. It was the "pits".
