What about "watched sports on tv without instant replay" or "had an examination from a doctor smoking a cigarette"?
Upon rechecking my personal memory bank -The only one I am missing out on was a myspace acct.
Me too. Doc McDougal pall mall straights and consumption got him first
27/28!
Didn't have MySpace.
But I'm only 56! Am I old?
Walk to the TV, turn it on. Tune, and if that doesn't work, bang on, the TV to get a "better picture", then get excited when the show is in color. Walk back to the TV to change the channel. Nowadays my kids talk to the TV to get stuff done. I still prefer the remote, I like the mouse function.
Columbia House brings back fond memories.
They would ship all the way out to the Central Pacific. I was on an island that was all of 7 square miles, 3,500 miles away from Honolulu -- time between sending off the order form and getting the CDs was about 6 weeks, IIRC, felt normal.
Talking about film for the camera, what about the 2 month turnaround on Kodachrome slides, at least where I was?
Come to think of it, took loads of time between ordering something and actually getting it, back in "those" days. Today it's 4-hour Amazon Prime, and you start to worry when your order seems "late".

Life of the Party
$2 a minute... mom was MAD!
or watching scrambled porn.. those were the days.. and occasionally it would just unscramble itself!
There were 8 parties on our line. Our ring was 4 longs and 3 shorts. Phone hung on the wall, and you cranked the handle to get the operator. I'd tell the operator that I wanted to talk to Kurt, my friend down the road, and she would then ring up Kurt's family's phone. Making a long distance call could take a while, maybe longer than the call would last, at $0.15 a minute.
The phone on the farm was 3 longs, a short and a long.
Besides the party line, our number started with SK….short for Skyline.
