I’m so old I remember…

I’m so old…. No that’s it, I’m old

A dry and wet grinder ,used it a lot in the early 60s.
A brass body was considered superior but this cast iron one worked better.

Depends on the location... In my childhood every household had one of these at least up to mid 90s. I think we might still have one somewhere, though don't use it as it is much easier to buy ground beef rather than make it.

I remember getting these every week in the mail

Cheque books.

The last time I saw one in my country was in the 80's (they became costly in 1988, which pretty much wiped out those that were still left after the bank cards came along).

We still have them for our personal US bank account and use checks every once in a while. A few months ago I had to buy checks for a business account because this was the only way to pay deposit on a business rental place - they wouldn't accept a credit card

Here you can't pay with checks in normal life anymore - check books ceased to exist at all in the 90's. Those born in the 80's don't even remember them.

Only the ones written by banks are backed up and therefore accepted - I've got some minor scholarships that way (in highschool) and they have also been used in real estate business (when buyer and seller have different banks), but even that is rapidly fading. (I just bought an apartment totally electronically last year. Everything signed online etc.)

I’m so old I remember when you paid by the minute for internet access (and you could use the internet OR the phone but not both at the same time).

Im so old, i remember when i was an HVAC tech i had a pager. Then id have to find a pay phone or LAN line to call in to dispatch to get the call information. My leg would tingle due to nerve memory of my pager going off. Sometimes id wear my pager close to my crotch to get that tingle when it vibrated

Price stickers on every item in the store. The cashier had to hand enter each price into the register and it printed on white tape. After it was sub totaled they had to look at a chart to know how much tax to add.

What are these? They look a bit like tapes, but the box is of a different shape, not like this:

ISOIR the original ‘playlists’, making a ‘mixed tape’ on a cassette!

Watching scatter porn on cable. Also those messed up images but solid audio.

Ah yes now I remember! Love letters written on real paper, sealed with a kiss posted with a real stamp. Now that´s really old!

Poised with your finger over the Record+play buttons on the boom box so you could get the whole song without the DJ talking over it.
