Got it got it. So it's not a picture viewer but a camera?! So small and compact for being old tech!! Yeah I've never seen that type of film or camera for that matter. I'm assuming that type of film was horrendous for it to die out.

That and the days of the month jingle. "30 days have (hath?) September. April June and November. All the rest have 31, except February which has 28. But on a leap year, it has 29…." |

I remember they had us do the "red room" in school and develop prints. I thought it was pretty cool how the pictures would start to materialize like someone had written something with invisible ink or lemon juice lol. |

Definitely older, but only good at basic math, not more complex math such as logarithms, which is where the slide rule was very useful. My calculator of choice today is my trusty TI-89, but I rely more on MATLAB than anything in my day-to-day calculating needs.

I think this is the most useful bit of trivia I ever learned! When I was walking (uphill, both ways, in the snow, with no shoes, dragging my stone tablet and chisel) to school, my buddy and I would recite this, or quiz each other on "times table". 4yo grand nephew is about done with his alphabet, and is moving on to addition now. MAYBE there's hope. |

You backpack 6 miles with a 3,000 ft elevation climb; spend two nights at a gorgeous alpine lake nestled between two 14 ft peaks and hike back out.
Oh wait, at 63 maybe this isn't representative of knowing you are getting old but the antithesis. You are as young as you demonstrate in life ... |

Not sure if this is indicative of our age, alcoholism or the poor quality of the Lifetime Movie Network.
However, last night the misses and I got all the way through one of their shitty films and still couldn't sort if we'd seen it before.
