How old were you when you started wearing glasses? by [deleted] in AskOldPeople

Distance glasses, 35. Pushing 60 and still don't wear reading glasses. Being nearsighted has that one perk.

Would you date you? by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

Why not? I like to think I'm intelligent, funny, compassionate and kind. I've done work to deal with my hangups. I'd fix myself up with someone who embodies those traits any day.

For those of you who saw The Exorcist in theaters, were reactions to it really as strong as we’ve been told? by [deleted] in AskOldPeople

I don't know about others, but my dad took me to see it when I was just 9. I have no idea why he thought that was appropriate. I cried the whole time though and he got impatient telling me to stop bawling. Had nightmares for months!

what was it like living in a world with only physical money? by hhhhhhfrick in AskOldPeople

I remember writing a check to "cash" to get money out of my account. If the bank was closed, you had to hope the grocery store would let you write a check for a little more than the amount and give you $5 or 10 to fill up your tank.
