    Pen pals

    (( Pen pals are people who regularly write to each other, particularly via postal mail. Pen pals are usually strangers whose relationship is based primarily, or even solely, on their exchange of letters. Occasionally, pen pals may already have a relationship that is not regularly conducted in person ))

    I am so old I remember what it was like not being found. If you went out, there was an answering machine waiting for you when you got home -

    .....And if there were no messages, it was no big deal you just went to sleep and didn't give a fuck.

    I am so old I remember having a party line phone, where you would pick up the phone and hear your neighbors having a conversation... then you'd have to wait for them to finish before making your own call. :)

    I’m so old I remember where you lived in a community, everybody knew each other, now there doesn’t seem to be a community and there’s no socialisation.
    No wonder kids are glued to electronics…
    What ever happened to games like Kerby?

    I remember when we didn't have a phone and the roof leaked so bad we had to set out all the pots in the house to collect the water..

    I remember when 15 cents could take you from one end of NYC to the other. Or you could hit every station for that same 15 cents!

    I'm so old I remember ...matching avocado green appliances in the kitchen with citrus orange swivel chairs, fake marble formica counter tops and fake wood formica cabinets. And doilies everywhere!

    Oh man, @Toker - I remember jumping those turnstiles and riding all around NYC for free! I remember all the funny messages I would get on my beeper and running to a payphone to call someone back. For some reason, people were always beeping me 80085 - lol.

    I can't tell if you are joking or really didn't know that 80085 was supposed to mean BOOBS.
