You feel great inside yet all your parts are falling apart!  Just think about how old your parts are.  I don't like it one bit.  Sometimes my ailments come in two's.  I don't let it get me down and keep going the best I can.  Heart:catvery-happy:

I was surprised to find a lot of pay phones in AZ, just not in the area where I live. By the way, thanks for posting this.

Re: You know you're old when . . .

How about when making a phone call you heard a voice ask, "Number Please" and you said Endicott 3969.  If the call was not local the voice asked you to put fifteen cents in the box if using a pay phone.  Did you ever wonder how the operator knew you put in the right amount?  Again, did you ever wonder if you dropped twenty cents in the slot how the change was sent back to you?

 

If that doesn't age us I don't know what will. Oh, and I was the voice asking "Number Please" with The New York Telephone Company.
