    I'm so old I Remember when:

    You just reminded me. When renewing the vehicle registration, there's a $2.50 fee if you use a card - whether in person or on line, and an additional $1.50 for them to mail you the little sticker and the paper registration renewal. My bank has an ATM less than 5 blocks from the Tag Office you...

    There's a number of stores around here, including my veterinarian, the garden center I frequent, and the homebrew shop I visited a couple weeks ago for instance that all add a charge if you use even a debit card or they (the vet) give a discount for cash sales. Apparently VISA and Master Card...

    French class in high school the teacher arranged for us to have pen pals in actual France. Mine was much better at keeping up her end of the correspondence than I was. Je suis désolée, mon amie.

    My favorite - but not the first - computer was one my sons designed and built with parts from New Egg... back when that company was worth a darn. It reminded me of the rockets and whatnots my brother and I would design and build with parts from the local Radio Shack brick-and-mortar store. Ditto...

    Speaking of pizza, once in the early 70's we were on our way from beautiful central upstate NY to the horse races down in Monticello. We stopped somewhere near Liberty to get a bite. Since my siblings and I were all pre- and young teens Dad figured we could handle a large pizza between the three...

    My parents had one of those. I woke up to the smell of percolated Maxwell House every morning with the likes of Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, and the likes playing on the clock radio on the kitchen counter. God, I miss my parents. Such wonderful, salt-of-the-Earth, just plain decent, loving...

    Ugh. They never clung on to sneakers tight enough as I was skating and I'd always end up on the pavement with one of the bloody things clinging awkwardly to my ankle, while I'm picking debris out of my knees and hands. Then if I forgot to undo the other skate, forget about trying to stand up to...

    I prefer self checkout. Even when there's 12 'regular' checkouts, there's never more than half staffed even on the busiest Saturday morning. Those that are staffed, there always needs to be a price check or someone who needs to chat with the cashier or the 3 people in front of you have...
