Obsolete

I hated having to wear pantyhose. Especially in the summer! So glad to be retired and not have to wear such things.

I feel the same way about pants.

Grandparents almost, I was always asking grandma about life and just general info, my grandkids just google it.

When my father died, 13 years ago, he had nearly 200 VHS tapes in his basement; movies and game shows he had taped. He refused to have anything to do with DVDs.

I have a rotary phone in a box in the basement, unseen for at least 40 years. I still have a couple of flashlights that use a bulb instead of an LED. An 8-track Jethro Tull tape. And I recently unpacked my late mom's old Sunbeam hair dryer, a little blue table-top unit with a hose that's connected to a plastic head bonnet. It still works!

That's all really cool. I think I remember that my late grandmother had one before she switched to a landline. Been over thirty years now. But you've got some nice keepsakes.

Thanks. I'll hang onto as much as I can until we start having trouble with the stairs here. Kids grown, no need for four levels. We will eventually look for a smaller, single level home and I'll have to send to Goodwill what nobody wants. You can accumulate a lot of sentimental junk over a lifetime, lol.

Oh, and a shoe box full of flip phones!
