Do you remember when......

Remember when no one had an answering machine for the landline telephone? If you weren't home to answer your phone, it would just ring and ring (the telephone).

I Love my landline ~ I never ask can u hear me now ~ my calls never get dropped ~ and when I'm not home I don't get bothered.

We have a landline as well and would NEVER consider giving it up!

I remember receiving an allowance on my dad's payday.

As I recall most paydays back in the day were on a Friday......

I remember when the father was the primary breadwinner in the family.

Remember when households had one automobile and the family 'shared' it?

Yup, and I remember the anticipation of who/whom just might be on the other end of the call coming in!

I remember our town being so small you'd get a wrong number and still end up talking for 30 minutes!

I remember being able to go in the department stores barefooted when we went down south to visit my stepdad’s kinfolk.
