From back here we would watch the money wheel, on the pump, s l o w l y spin, while the fuel gauge struggled to keep up, it spun so fast. Meanwhile, the attendant washed the windshield, checked the oil, and tire pressure, and when he was done, brought a free glass, or knives, plus green stamps.

Another Old Fart issue. I've been having serious dizzy spells lately. They've started to clear up in the last day or two, but I went to my doc today anyway and he says I've been suffering from Benign Positional Vertigo (BPV). And yes, it's an Old Fart malady. Crystals form in your inner ear and when they move around, your world spins violently. One such attack on Monday put me on the floor for 20 minutes. It is not a fun feeling. Luckily it does slowly clear up and I'm almost back to normal. But what a nasty experience. Hopefully this doesn't become "a thing" with me. I could do without this.

And - You know you're old when you have posted in the Old Farts thread but forgot it existed so you start a new thread called You Know You're Old When.

....or current day, they just stop pulling you over because you are old and drive a nice car. Too many youngsters in buckets doing dodge-y things, to mess with us old folks.

Or they'd take you home. Things were different then.

My dad smoked a Pipe....same feeling here. Anytime I smell one...memories flood in. Although I don't think it's as common as it once was.

You have no rights. You're punished until you clean your room.
