At least you've just proven that you're not old! All the GM cars in our family growing up in the '70's had that in the scuff panels. I just had a "WTF was that all about" moment and had to Google it myself to figure out the Fisher/GM connection.

What age should one be prepared for such….. events?

Asking for a friend?

Yep, I've been there.

I'd say about 65yo and beyond.

Yeah Buddy, tough getting up after doing a lot of things these days. Lawn work and home repairs especially. Being bent over doing those tasks it does take a while to straighten out. Ibuprofen and Tylenol are your friends that's for sure.

When we moved 18 years ago, laughed my ass off when we picked up our sofa, only to see a ring of various cat toys, one cat-arm-length in.

67 here and I feel pretty good most of the time. A few aches and pains now and then. It's what happens when we get old. lol

I don't have my NES any more, and I never owned a GameCube or N64. I do still have a SNES and more recent PS models.

Having said that, I used to love pong!
I was a little kid though, damn it!

BTW, I'm sure cmyx6go would appreciate this level of technology NOW.

I played games like this:

Well. THAT brings back memories of my childhood!

I remember when the first kid in the neighborhood got one of these- you had to flip a little saber switch that attached it to the back of the tv to get it to work.

I can still remember playing in his house in front of one of those big freakin' console tv's.

Iirc, the console (not the arcade game) started showing up maybe a year or two before the original Star Wars. That adds a bit of perspective as to the timeline of the technology.

Kids these days could never comprehend the game, since it involves math and physics.....

Had a lot of fun with these when we were kids. Still do.

I'm surprised it wasn't too much tech for her to move the stick thing up and down.

...you know you're old when you cannot remember if you posted something before and you are too lazy to go through pages of posts to figure it out.

So, here's a photo of me and my older brother and sister taken in 1952 or 1953. That's me and MY lawn. All of you young folks posting here are welcome to share a corner of it, but few of you are ancient enough to share the middle with me.

I so want to say something about the stick thing, but I will refrain. I don't want to get spanked by her. I know you'd enjoy it though.
Oh and by the way, I think the "stick" thing was called a paddle IIRC. Too many damn years ago, I forgot.
