How can MTV continue w/its charade of video music awards when they NEVER play videos anymore - it's all stupid "reality" shows.  No TRL, Insomniac Theater, Headbangers Ball, etc.

I knew I was old when a clerk at the grocery store asking for my phone number and I mentioned back in the day of not needing to use your area code with your phone number.  She said, "What"?  You actually did not need the area code at one time to make a call?  I said yes and we also had a time frame where buttons were not used to DIAL a telephone number.

@beckyb1012    Of course with cell phones, there are no buttons so the clerk probably didn't know what you meant by this either.

Could you imagine her shock if I had told her most homes had one phone in a little cut out box in the hallway of their home.  She would have thought I had escaped from the looney bin. @mousiegirl

When you begin to read at night and the words are a bit blurry, you think you are just tired, or the print has gotten so small, until it happens every night, this was my first inkling that I was now entering another era, lol.

Back in the day before UPC barcodes, cashiers had to enter prices manually.  My grandfather could actually keep up and tell the cashier when she made a mistake.
