Memorizing phone numbers. I only have one number memorized: Mine.
Barney Fife could have used those…
Car headlights are so bright now that I don’t notice when one of mine is burnt out.
How we went from boxy computer and television monitors to flat screen displays. Seems to have happened in the 2000s.
[Marge Simpson] You know, Fox turned into a hardcore sex channel so gradually, I didn’t even notice.[/Marge Simpson]
I loved that episode of the Simpsons.
I would have though this was due to lower flush volume toilets have to have nowadays. If I ever move to Canada it will be to have higher volume flushing toilets.
Shoelaces; they never seem to break when it’s a lazy Saturday morning; it’s always when you’re in a hurry! Am I right, or am I right?
I have a pair of Red Wing shoes, and I have free shoelace replacement. I just broke my first pair the other day; and I’ve had these shoes well over a year. However you’re right, they don’t stay tied; but I have a solution for that, which is much better than the double knot. When I am on the step where I wrap the free end of the shoelace around the looped end (and my thumb and forefinger); I go an extra time around make a second trip around around the looped lace. It’s a bit tricky on the step where you pull on the free end to make the second loop; but my shoes always stay tied that way.
My own number is the main one that I can’t seem to remember when I need to!
See, the only phone numbers I can remember are ones like my mom’s and dad’s home phone numbers from when I was a child. My grandparents’ numbers. My longtime allergist’s phone number. My best friend’s number.
All of these have been out of use for at least 20 years. This makes me sad. ![]()
My phone has a nifty feature – it shows your phone number. Good thing, too; my brain is full of invalid data.
when did everyone start riding their brakes so much? I followed someone down a hill today and their brake lights were on the whole way down ( about 2.5 miles.) My driving instructor would have slapped me for that!
Headlights seem to last longer also. My last car, a '97 Camaro, needed a new light every 10,000 miles or so. My current car, an '06 Altima, still has its original headlights (although there is less than 35,000 miles on it).
When I was a kid, back in the 50s, shoe laces were always breaking and getting frayed ends. And white dog poop was everywhere. And when you drove on a highway, every so often would be someone changing a flat. And we don’t need “horizontal hold” or “vertical hold” on TVs. And I think the people who are riding their brakes are actually driving with two feet.
