I'm so old I remember when I didn't have an laptop or a iPhone.

I STILL don't have a laptop or an iPhone! No cable or Netflix, either. DANG! I must be younger than I thought!

Another without a laptop or an iPhone. Cable has never been available here and likely never will be. No Netflix either.

Only recently switched to a mobile phone when the landline got too greedy.

My GC has Netflix but at the moment I'm paying for it, lol. It's $10/mo. Wait, is it Netflix? I think so. It's something ... gripes me when I'm watching tv and they advertise a movie that sounds good, I want to watch. I wonder when is it coming to a theater near me? And no - it's on Paramount Plus or something else I don't have, grrr! But when they pitched the Six Triple Eight movie, I REALLY wanted to see that! And I did. And it was good!

Same here. My cell is a third of the price of a land line - and gets more than political messages and warnings that my auto/home/appliance warranty is about to run out!

Oh there's another "I remember" quote. I remember when a repair warranty was a tool box, a little know-how and maybe a library how-to book!

Some of us are willing to listen.

Thank you.

Back in the day during Mardi Gras season while king cakes are being made was a bakery named Mckenzie's. It has since closed for a while now, probably 20 years. Every season I get me a few king cakes while I can. We'll a bakery names hubig's known for thier fried pies started making king cakes and word on the street is that they taste like the old Mckenzie cakes. Well I got one today to see. Although it was so Ling ago I probably wouldn't remember if it does lol

I hope they taste as good as they look and bring you fond memories.

Of course we can’t tell the newer generations anything because they’re WAY too smart for us, and know everything there is to know because of their vast life experience.

Hasn't it always been that way - parents, grandparents, older neighbors making these same observations? We don't realize until we age a little how little we knew when we thought we knew everything.

So true, generations never seem to listen to the previous ones. We’re all guilty.

Here’s another one: remember when your cars dimmer switch was on the floor and you operated it by foot?
