You Know You're a Baby Boomer If...(Part II)

You rode in the back of the station wagon and you faced the cars behind you.

Schoolhouse Rock played a HUGE part in how you actually learned the English language.

A predominant color in your childhood photos is plaid.

You remember the Flinstones in Primetime.

You grew up with neighbors you actually knew by first and last name.

You had a rotary dial telephone.

You weren't considered fashionable if you didn't own a pair of black & white saddle shoes or a pair of stride rites.

Good TV reception came with a pair of pliers and a coat hanger.

There was such a thing as penny candy--and you could always stock up.

You remember the oil crisis in 1973--which resulted in the price of oil per barrel to rise from $3.00 to $12.00 (The price of gas was $0.24 in 1957--the year I was born).

If you're still making the hand gestures every time you hear the Y.M.C.A. Song.

You know you're a baby boomer if garters were how you held up your hose. (Thanks to @LeslieLSC from Twitter)

You Know You're a Baby Boomer If...

You've seen every Brady Bunch episode at least twice.

You remember Michael Jackson when he was black.

You remember Sally Field as The Flying Nun.

You remember when VCR's cost $2000!

You remember cigarette commericals on TV.

You owned a pair of pedal pushers--or at least know what they are.

Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

Your back goes out more than you do.

You finally got your head together, now your body is falling apart.

It takes twice as long to look half as good.

Many of your co-workers were born the same year that you got your last promotion.

The clothes you've put away until they come back in style... have come back in style.

The pharmacist has become your new best friend.

You come to the conclusion that your worst enemy is gravity.

You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.
