Lock the doors?
In the pre air conditioning days it was part of the job to keep the doors or windows open so mom didn’t have to come back to a baking car.
You just reminded me of my first residential furnace, coal. There was no pilot light, just a shovel and a coal bin. If it got too cold at night, you shoveled some coal in and relit it if necessary.
Years later, when we converted to natural gas, the empty coal bin made a terrific photography darkroom. Now that I think about it, the darkroom is obsolete, too.
You just reminded me of two of my apartments, where running more than one and a half gadgets would blow a fuse. Descending to the creepy basement to switch them out is happily a thing of my past.
Setting the station on your car radio by tuning to it carefully, pulling out the button, and then pushing it all the way in.
And on that topic, do any car radio antennas telescope anymore?
Oh, I remember when some different Internet Service Providers (ISP) used to have a promotion 2 or 3 months of free internet usage. Do you remember those days when you could have browse through the internet for FREE and then cancel without any financial obligations? The sweet days are over:-(
“We break for station identification.” Now radio stations avoid their call letters entirely.
OPs returning to participate in their own threads.
You’re trying to do my head in here 
Is that common? The three stations I listen to most often all repeat their call letters quite frequently.
Do people still stand in line all night to get tickets to a show? I must have used up three or four days full of living waiting for rock tickets.
In Canada they’re very fond of their frequencies. “The big 92!” even if it’s 92.5. Or “The River!” I’ve come across two cities with “The River!” so there might be more; they’re probably owned by the same company.
A couple of years ago in a drive across half the country, no CBC station annouced it’s call letters. It’s all just CBC, less frequently CBC radio.
I had thought announcing the call letters was required by law. If it is, they might do so when they know I’m not listening. :eek:
It’s all online these days.
That means finding out when the tickets go on sale, logging on 5 minutes before and then constantly refreshing the (now completely overloaded) site for 20 minutes until you can finally get through and make your booking - assuming they haven’t then sold out. If not, then you have to buy them from some scalper on stubhub at four times the price. :mad:
In the winter, on an overcast day?
BBC Radio 4 still does Sailing By.
I don’t think I ever went to the grocery store with mom, other than summer vacation.
I remember when hoverboards were science fiction.
Flat tires aren’t as common either. You have to do some big damage to a tire before it will go flat.
I buy magazines occasionally, and subscribe to several. And my doctor’s office has stacks of them in the waiting room, and more in each exam room. However, he is in a practice with 5 other doctors and a couple of PA-Cs and NPs.
