Wanna feel REALLY old, REALLY fast? Watch this...

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

I've never felt SO old, SO fast, within just 10 minutes.
GAH!!!

Never really realized either, just how much technology and gadgets have been replaced with the "smart phone".

I still use a regular alarm clock. My mom still uses a check registry.

God bless you and her always!!!

I have a Sunbeam toaster from '54 that lowers and raises the slices like magic. The toast is perfect.

I don't use an alarm clock, but I still keep my account book updated. I use cash almost exclusively. Don't have a 'smart phone', ridiculously over-priced scams.

You must live in a small town.
I don't even know many places that even keep cash in a till anymore.

 

[rightwinger]

I never had a Facebook or Twitter account
I never used an Uber or ordered food delivered
I still use an IPhone 6.0
I still have cable
I have a 15 year old car

Slightly off topic, I was having a conversation with a young friend of mine today which led us to the "Champagne Music" of Lawrence Welk, the big band musical variety show from 1951 to 1982. My friend had no idea who Lawrence Welk was and of course, when I brought up Welk's show on my computer, my friend was bored. Welk is a Midwest history lesson, and living in the Midwest again after spending my adult life of the West Coast, I cherish my own history as part of this culture.

I thought a lot this afternoon about those days and how glad I am that I had the Lennon Sisters as my role models, instead of some teacher who gets their rocks off by "transitioning" children too young to even know what gender is, with said teacher scoring points for each innocent little life they destroy.

Oh, ME! I always pay cash to people I care about and they appreciate it because I make it clear that I don't report the transaction to anyone and don't care if they do either.

CASH IS KING!

They take it everywhere I go, big city or no. Few turn it down, no matter what their signs say. I even paid cash for my last two cars.

Welk would play the Corn Palace in Mitchell SD, and my grandma would get a seat in the front row, hoping Welk would dance with her at the end of his show!

She was the first groupie!

Let's see:

Still have a land line.

Still use a alarm clock.

I deal in cash when dealing FTF.

My daughter gave me a smart phone.....It sits in the car all the time, I never take it with me outside the car.

What I like:

No need to ever go to a movie theater again.

Like in the 50-60s I can have my groceries delivered to my door.

There is very little I can't buy on-line and that frees-up time to go to the places where I can't get the stuff on-line.....Like gun shops.

On-line bill paying. I believe the only bill I can't pay on-line anymore is my bi-yearly taxes.

Only thing I miss about the movie theaters is the popcorn.

Yes, we ALL know about your constant and irreversable shopping habit...............

"OH GURL!!! You HAVE to have this one!!! It goes SO well with your invisible midnight camo"!!!

I get the best popcorn in Texas in the lobby of the VA. A guy we call Cornpop makes it.

Does the hair on his legs turn blond in the summer?
Do little kids like to rub them?

Actually they haven't been replaced. You can still buy the stuff if your head isn't attached to a cell phone.
