    I remember landlines, nobody had a phone of their own, it was just 'the phone' in every house.

    I remember in the early internet days, Yahoo and Lycos dominated search engines. Google didn't exist yet.

    I remember MSN messenger being a thing :#

    That land line phone was awesome! No cell phones yet and people actually talked to each other on the phone or in person...now that is a concept. This dates me doesn't it. :D

    I remember coming home from a party in a different outfit than the one my mother saw me leave in. Boy, did those spaghetti straps piss her off.

    And I will never forget my mother's hairdresser, Richard, trilling "Ladies, it's cocktail time without the tail." I think I was around 8. :)

    If this dates you, then it dates me too. Then again, so does my username.

    It's kinda mindblowing that in the 90s it was perfectly normal for children of 10 years old to go into the city with their friends without any way of their parents contacting them. Also you're right, people did talk to each other more - and we weren't so constantly saturated with digital media.

    I'm not going to be a boomer and go on a rant about it all being better in the old days - after all, mobile phones must have saved millions of lives by now, but I do have a strange nostalgia for a time before they were mainstream.

    I remember.. My dad bought my grandparents 4 turkeys for their farm. I went to stay with them on school holidays. They had an outside toilet. Those bastid turkeys would surround the toilet and not let you out.. I had to call the farm dogs so they'd chase the turkeys away 🤣😂
    I remember laughing till I cried at the sight of my little brother sitting on the toilet ( he'd left the door open) and 2 turkeys pecking at his knees .. 😆

    I remember my nonna packing papa’s lunch and pouring black coffee into that tall plaid thermos.

    I remember high tin ceilings, linoleum floors, black and white tile, and shotgun rooms.

    Beaded curtains. Flowers on the fire escape. Family supper and Sunday sauce.

    Nutella, lemon ice, big bright windows, and Papa’s beautiful iron work.

    ... when this place was more active. That's a bummer as the active community is what keeps many engaged.

    Another thing I remember: The warmth of old vinyl on my father's jukebox. Sure, there were pops, crackles here and there, but ultimately, the sound quality was special and nostalgic.

    This made me think of my grandparents - my grandma always had breakfast ready for my grandpa at the crack of Dawn - and had his thermos ready and lunch packed - he drove a dump truck and bulldozer all that stuff and took us with him when we were on summer break and always stopped at a truck stop diner for pie and ice cream on the way home - he’s alwYs flirt with the waitress i always say I got my game from grandpa 😂 - and grandma seemed To never go to bed - she was always up washing clothes or patching up kids or grandpas clothes - shed cat nap in the recliner but I don’t think I remember her ever actually going to bed - these were my mom parents we spent a lot of time with they were the beez knees - sorry got long winded there
