Ahhhh, those mixed tape days🤩🤩miss those days😢
I'm an 80's kid, & I had ALL of these things! 1970's my binary Unix Mainframe!!!!
Caller ID was the best thing ever invented!
I agree with the request for a time machine!! What a great time to be alive!! As a kid I actually felt more freedom than I do now as an adult!! God forbid you don't answer your phone 🤳 , people freak out 👿 and get an attitude!!
Flashback City! Thanks!
When we had the Rotary we also had everyone's phone number memorized
Thanks for the memories! 😂
I also remember a wooden phone on the wall. You had to turn a crank to make a call. The crank turned a small generator in the phone. I was very young a that time.
Thanks! I am a proud Boomer! What a time to be alive ❤
I use to work for fotomat back in 87. Worked in the booth and also picked up and dropped off the fklm.
I remember a party line, I had to wait if one of neighbors was on the line. I also remember when I only needed 4 digits to call. Then the added three more, now I have to use the area code as well. Progress?
I remember music by K-TEL. popular songs performed by studio musicians.
Smoking killed both of my parents. I would have to put up with that crap and didn't respect adults much for it. Yes, our family physician's office had ashtrays in the waiting room even though neither he nor the office staff smoked.
One thing I learned is how to identify cancer in a person's lung and how long they have to live.
My Dad smoked 2 packs a day(only in our basement) and the walls were yellow and brown on white walls, NASTY. He quit though on 1991 and is still alive in his mid 70's now
@@StephenHuntsI was born in ‘65 so I too grew up in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s. My parents were both heavy smokers and we lived in a two bedroom apartment, so you can just imagine the smoke buildup; it was nasty. They both died rather young too-not necessarily from smoke related illness, but I think it contributed alot to it.
@purrfect0613 my condolences 🙏. My father's doctor told him in a random X-ray checkup and asked him if he smoked heavily. Doctors know of course (looks like a little over 2 packs a day.) Shaken, my Dad admitted and was told "if you don't quit cigarettes within 5 years, they'll quit you". This, after my Dad's doctor asking him if he has any children (he showed his Dr a picture of my sister and I) and promptly said, (I was 12 and my sister 9 at the time). His doctor said I'd you don't quit, there's a strong chance you won't be around to see your children graduate high school. With that, my Dad came home that night, smoked considerably less each day until in 1991 (at my age now - 46 y/o quit smoking for good. ) I (like my Dad also had an outside job, and smoked up until my wife became pregnant with our son *that was it for me*! It was tough (as any ex-smoker knows), but with the Nicroderm Patch, it took me about 3 weeks and August 8th it will be 9 years smoke free. God, I wish I had the $$$ back I WASTED on cigarettes 🚬. But LIVE AND LEARN!!!
@@StephenHunts Good for you! Any way you can quit is a good way! Your dad is a champ too. God bless!
@purrfect0613 thanks. At $15 a pack now, it's CRAZY how anyone not just WOULD smoke (or afford too)
Time machine please! 😎✌️❤️
CB radios!!!
