I'm so old I Remember when:

I remember when you would get fruit, and homemade cookies and candies for Halloween.

Popcorn balls.

A friend online messaged me "A plane hit a building in NYC" so I turned on the television. I also saw the second plane hit live.

I was a housewife at the time and we had a repair man at our house for something or other. I normally never turned the TV on during the day but I did that day to kill time while I waited for the repair man to finish. Otherwise I wouldn't have known a thing until the evening news. What a shock and just heartbreaking.

I remember the TV Game Show "To Tell The Truth". 2 were lying and one was telling the truth is what I think I remember. The contestant had to figure out who was telling the truth.

I skipped most of these pages so I don't know if this has been said but I remember drinking from a garden hose, not wearing a helmet, and sitting backwards in the family station wagon. And I lived!

You have missed a lot of history that I had never heard of before. So entertaining for some of us. I never had a helmet either and drank a lot of water from a garden hose too.

I'll go back and read it soon. Maybe. I'm so old, I'll probably forget

Leaving the house on a summer morning and not being back until dinner. Then when the sun went down, we would play hide and go seek in the dark. Good times

But the landlines all go through the internet as well, and even in areas where they don't, 911 is likely to be net based. We had a landline at my old house. Power was out, but I figured the wall phone woukd be working so we could notify the power company...nope. Dead air. Not even a dial tone. It came back up when the power came back on.

That happens when their back up batteries go dead at the relay point.

I also remember wearing my roller skates all summer long, I lived in those things. We used to wear them inside and climb the kitchen counters with them on. We needed to get a glass from the cupboard and were too short!
