Good morning, TOTVers,

Earlier I started a thread about the baby boomers starting to reach Medicare on 1.1.11. And that started me thinking about a list I wrote several years ago for a group of boomers who were getting close to another milestone.

That was a few years back, and, alas, I remember only two of the things I put on the list. But the others will come to me eventually I guess.

So anyway, I am inviting boomers and non-boomers all to get together here on TOTV to help create another list. This time the list is titled....

You might be eligible for Medicare if....

Here are the two things I remember from that old list, now reworked for the new list.....

You might be eligible for Medicare if you have ever lusted in your heart for Annette Funicello or Ricky Nelson.

You might be eligible for Medicare if you picked up the above allusion to lusting in your heart.

(I hope everybody will join in and have a little fun with this. Thanks.)

You remember the year and where you were when you learned the words to all the songs played on Radio 640 WVLG . . .

But can't remember where you parked your car at Lowe's.

(I hope I remembered the radio station name/number right!)

You might be eligible for Medicare if you remember knowing that if he brought a bottle of Cold Duck, he was expecting it to be a big night.

You might be eligible for Medicare if you quit counting the salt and now just count the pepper in your hair.

You ARE eligible for Medicare if you can remember Howdy Doody's final episode and Clarabelle the Clown saying "good-bye."

You might be eligible for Medicare if you can't hear or understand the words to a modern day song.

You might be eligible for Medicare if a younger person never realized that air conditioners never existed.

You might be eligible for Medicare if you remember where you were when JFK was shot and someone asks you if you were alive during that time.

You might be eligible for Medicare if you ask your hairdresser just to cut the gray hairs out and she says, "but then, you would be bald".

You might be eligible for Medicare if you remember being scared during the Cuban Missile Crisis -- and being really, really, really scared that it meant you were going to die a virgin.

Hi Redwitch,

Forgive me for a little sidetrack here, but that last one of yours made me think....

You might be from Cincinnati if some of those things advertised on some of those signs take you by surprise.

Oh not that it's not out there around Cincinnati someplace I guess, but they just can't advertise it like that.

(I am supposed to be getting some work done around here and I keep looking in on TOTV. So much for that New Year's Resolution.)

You might be eligible for Medicare if you returned from SE Asia, a while back, with a Seiko watch, a quadraphonic receiver, and four 75-watt Pioneer speakers.
