She laughed but she did look at me funny when I remember as a young girl not even having a 7 digit phone number but a five digit number. Then our town got so big we had to have the prefix to our phone numbers. That shocked her. I left thinking I should have asked her if she had every seen a rotary phone?
@beckyb1012...I remember having a rotary phone and there were no area codes yet. I think to call long distance, you dialed zero to get an operator.
Do you remember having party lines or is that before your time? We would go to make a call and the other party was on it. You had to keep checking to see when they were done.
I so forgot about the party lines. We had one but not in our home in town, but out at the lake in our extended family Lake House. With all the aunts, uncles and cousins there was a lot going on swimming skiing and such to wait for the phone.
But we went a lot just my little family unit for quiet weekends and I was a horrible rude child listening in on these two old women talking when I got bored with my brother and sister. I stopped when one asked the other if her grandchildren were visiting because she could hear children in the background. Hung up quick and that cured my eavesdropping!!

Growing older is not so bad as long as we can keep our sense of humor. I laughed a lot while reading your posts. Thank you.
Two favorite quotes about aging:
The older the fiddle, the sweeter the tune.
and...my favorite quote...
The sun setting is no less beautiful than the sun rising.

I'm positive that with the amount of junk mail they send out, they're single handedly responsible for the destruction of thousands of trees!
I've begged them to stop.....but they won't.
I was going to respond the same thing. AARP!! I never applied for anything they sent and still don't. I hate that organization.

Adventurous...
Defiant!...
Still fashionable after all these years....
Embrace the geezer in you!!!!
