When my son tells me I was born in the nineteen-hundreds, I have to stop and think. :lol:
My youngest asked me what it was like when I was a kid I told him it was a lot different. He says did you guys have electricity? He was being serious… I was born in 1989 not 1789!!
Darn kids! Lol... I still have a landline in my kitchen and I make them stand there and call grandpa on Saturdays. They hate it and can't stand or sit still. My little guy always stomps his foot when it's time to make the call. Lol.

I still have a landline. I don't have a cell phone. I like some new things and some old. I don't feel in the least deprived or outdated. My life and my choises.
