I was going to sleep the other day, and I realized that I've been using the same blankets in bed for about 14 years!

What do you have thats really old that you use on a regualr basis?

Most of my socks are high quality wool and are at least 3 years old and still in good shape. That's about it.

My Seiko diver's watch. Been wearing it since 1980 and it keeps on "ticking".

I've replaced the watchband twice and the battery 3 times.

PC monitor I've had for 6+ years (though it's getting retired within a week).
I have some 5+ year old jumpers in my cupboard I might bust out when it hits wintertime.

I've had my TV for 7 or 8 years, my mattress a few years longer. Some of my furniture (dressers, nightstand, and bookshelf), I've had as long as I can remember - handed down from my dad when he was growing up.

Yeah, you'd probably call them sweaters, but I'm English, so I refer to things differently. We have boots on our cars, not trunks. This isn't the 1920's anymore :p

oh geez.. my washer and dryer and one of my cars are 18.. the tv is 14, my wedding ring is 26 :), I guess the oldest thing I use regularly is my bed.. the mattress and boxsprings are much more contemporary, but my great grandmother was born in that bed.. I don't remember what year.. 160 or so years ago, I'm guessing.. my grandmother was her youngest child (of 7) and she was born in 1888..
