I did use one of those when I worked at the Sears gas station in the mid 80's. Related, my credit union credit card was compromised a few weeks back and the replacement is the first credit card I've had that didn't have the raised numbers.

Radio Shack - You've got questions? We've got blank stares. Wanna buy a cell phone?

I miss Radio Shack, Lafayette Electronics, and Heathkit.....

There are still Radio Shack stores around here, but they don't have walls filled with resistors and capacitors anymore.

My first ride on a Greyhound was to visit my aunt when I was 10 years old. My second ride on a Greyhound was to the induction center, somewhere in central Los Angeles, 1967. Both were single-deckers.

I said "where's the beef?" To a few of my millennials at work yesterday and they looked at me like I had 3 heads.

Just found out about Omeagle. It is soooo is scary because kids can just log on and see people around the world.

I am sooooo happy it wasn't around when she was a teen.

Getting old seeing the world zoom by is crazy!

I thought omeagle was when an eagle wore an omega?

You remember when wearing wrestling shoes was all the rage.

My high school class of '65 lost four fine young men within 3 years of graduation. All 4 were KIA in Vietnam.
