What are some things you say that make you feel old?

& the TV it ran was a "fine piece of furniture".

That was when RCA meant that it was an American-made product.

Gues when my wife says our 37 year old grandchild is visiting. Also feel very old when young attractive women open doors for me. Guess if they think I can't open a door I must be harmless at my age.

I know, right? I have things on the TV remote set to "Favorite" channels, which removes all those lame ones from the listings. I cycle through them a few times, decide "There's nothing to watch" and put it on some home improvement show I've seen ten times. Some things haven't changed.

I know about the mechanical clicker thing from the early days of remote. The one we had carried a fancy name, like "RCA SPACE COMMAND" or something. It sounds even better saying it really slowly, and if you make your voice echo, like in the old Sci-Fi movies: "SSSS-PP-A-C-E C-O-M-M-AA-NNN-DDDDD!!!!!!!!!" Ah yes, life's little pleasures.

Being the youngest I often ended up being the remote. My siblings would tell me to go change the channel.

And that dial would break so you would have to keep a pair of pliers handy so you could change the channel.

You NEVER did that in the basement when you were grounded. With unpolarized, ungrounded plugs, the chassis could be HOT (energized)

How about: "I remember when central AC was first installed in our house in Miami."
