Re: When Was the Last Time You Used the Yellow Pages Phone Book?

Just  a few months ago I used the white pages.  I needed the home address and telephone number to any attorney who retired down the hall from my office last year.  Someone was looking for him and I wanted to let the attorney know.  Old school ways for locating and getting in touch with him and his wife who retired from the practice with him.

I have some 2015 phone books at home and work.  You never know.

Not me in years, but my husband still uses both the yellow and white pages.  Saw him using yellow pages yesterday when searching for place to buy tires. He also uses my iPad to search, but I often have it someplace with me and not available to him. He seems to do fine with the yellow pages. He also uses a flip phone, not a smart phone. He has never ordered anything online....has me do it for him. He has never paid a bill online, still writes checks. He just celebrated his 80th b'day and says can't teach old dog new tricks. I love him just the way he is!  😘

I Google everything that I need. 

I can't even remember when I last used the Yellow Pages, probably years ago before smart phones.
