I was one of the TV remotes it depended on what kid was the one that didn't want to get punished . Back in those days we got it when dad took off the belt we knew it, and the pain started in our head beforehand . And also the schools Principal had a wooden paddle and he spanked us for what ever he decided we needed it for. I for one was a daydreamer , and when I floated off while I was supposed to be paying attention to the teacher and I couldn't tell her what she said?? I had to go to the principal and got another ass busting ... Link to comment
Stanley_19802 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 How about these two. My first cell phone back in 1999. And if you lived in a poor household like me you might remember paper food stamps. Back before the current EBT cards. Man time flies. 1 Link to comment

My first cell phone was a BAG phone it was about 10 pounds, from Radio Shack we had to pay $125 for it then we paid about $100 a month for 20 mins and 95 cents a min after and I was just glad to have a cell phone because my boss wouldn't pay for one and I did a lot of traveling for work .. the phone looked and was as much as my ( shower strap) oxygen portable, I use now. 3 hours ago, Babygeebee said: I remember having to carry travelers cheques when travelling. Don't they still have these? If so it's much safer than a credit card, when you get robbed on vacation . Link to comment
