I grew up with rotary phones. So when I'm on those "Poster Above" threads, I'm not as fast at typing like those who grew up with a cell phone in their crib. I often miss being the next poster when I post my reply. Ugh!

Remember how many phone numbers we had memorized during the rotary phone days because a phone book or address book wasn't always available.

My grandparents' furniture having clear but thick bubble wrap over it to protect the fabric. Not painful, but not comfortable either.
