You know you are over 40 if...

[Mr Bigglesworth]

I'm going to take a nap now.  Yay me.

[blue bunny sparkle]

if you're jealous Mr. Bigglesworth gets to take a nap!

[Rolo]

You know you are over 40 if you remember when naps where involuntary instead of a necessity.

[Autumn52]

If you remember when artistic impression was you coloring out of the lines.

[Captain Maltese]

If getting wasted lost its appeal a long, long time ago.

[Captain Maltese]

If kids' pranks makes your anger boil to the point where rigging up razor wire in anticipation of their next sneaky visit seems entirely reasonable.

[Teo Torriatte]

You were an adult when MTV actually played videos.

[despickable]

You think all the music these days is crap and are heard to say "You call that music?"

[auroraChloe]

you remember the fading "dot" when you turned off the television.

[Torch]

you remember the fading "dot" when you turned off the television.

Or the National Anthem being played when the station signed off for the evening.

[Iniquitous]

If you remember when there was no call waiting and no cell phones. If you remember playing in the sprinkler during the summer. If you were the remote for your dad (and the channel changer on the tv was a dial you had to turn). If your bicycle had the old banana seat and you regularly rode double on the bike (either someone riding behind you or on the handlebars).

[auroraChloe]

Or the National Anthem being played when the station signed off for the evening.

yup.  good lord. 

the old indian sign off image... i've seen that, but don't think it is an actual memory of early childhood. 

[Captain Maltese]

...you remember the sole tv channel had a 'technical error' poster that could be stuck on the screen for hours.

[zbeast]

You remember when the kids had free roam in the back of the station wagon during road trips.

You remember when 8-Track tapes were a new thing.

You remember when handheld calculators came along.  You learned trigonometry and logarithms with tables and slide rules.

[auroraChloe]

you may have heard the expression (or similar)  'if i had my druthers'   

[LunarSage]

If you remember when microwaves were a new thing.

[Dovel]

[you] Knows there over forty, cause they dont know how I guessed they would read this.

*gasps*  I am not over 40, yet. I still have another year to be young.

[Kuroneko]

You remember Zoom.

[Mr Bigglesworth]

You had to decide between betamax and VHS - and 8 tracks were cool.

[despickable]

You know you are over forty cos you remember you didn't need to wear helmets to ride your bike, your neighbors knew you and it was safe to go into their house for a soda and a cookie.

[Caitlin]

...your friends were hippies.

[Rolo]

If you can remember when 10 p.m. was when things got shakin', rather than a sound bedtime.

[auroraChloe]

Bobbie Gentry - Ode To Billie Joe [Very Good quality]

Paper Lace - Billy don't be a Hero 1974
