Used a can opener? The kind that punctures triangular holes in a sealed can? (Me yesterday, it was chicken broth).
When was the last time you tuned into a UHF channel using a dial?
The can opener was over the weekend. The UHF thingy…decades ago.
When did you last wash your windows?
When did you last send a birthday card?
Wash windows - last spring. Did all the upstairs windows, inside & out.
Send a card - about July. To my MIL.
When did you last go swimming?
When did you last play in a park?
1.) Swimming: nine years ago, I think. I am grossed out by pools of any kind and afraid of the ocean. (I mean, I know *how * to swim, but I guess I don’t go out of my way to do it.)
2.) Park: I really can’t remember. I’m not fond of parks. Too many other people and it annoys me. Wow, that sounds really antisocial. :eek:
Yikes, I forgot to ask…
…When was the last time you:
1.) Used a rotary dial telephone?
2.) Called a charge card a “charge plate” and a refrigerator an “icebox”?
3.) Saved already-used tinfoil?
(For the record, I used a rotary dial telephone for last time about four years ago, used the term “charge plate” today, and “icebox” probably two days ago. I save used tinfoil on a regular basis.)
Can opener, UHF - the mid '70s.
Windows - maybe never.
Birthday card - three weeks ago, to FIL.
Swimming - 1997
Played in a park - oh, 1973
Rotary phone - 1976
Charge plate, icebox, saved tinfoil - never
