I used to stretch ours into the nearby bathroom. So many hours laying on the floor in that bathroom, feet up on the wall, the phone cord under the door and the door shut, talking and laughing on the phone.When I was a teenager, we had one phone in the house and it hung in the kitchen. Everyone could hear your conversation. If a girl called and people were hanging out in the kitchen (my family loves to hang out in the kitchen), I would stretch the cord as far as I could to try and get a little privacy.
Good times.

Did you have one of those super long cords that would get all tangled up?
You were lucky! The only time girls called me was if they needed help with their homework!When I was a teenager, we had one phone in the house and it hung in the kitchen.

It's hard to believe we used to have to answer the phone without knowing who was calling.
Yep! On the way back to the wall unit, it would tangle every time!Did you have one of those super long cords that would get all tangled up?
Does everyone remember their childhood phone numbers? My dad still has the same number all these years later.
...I had one knitted from my own beard hair.....
...I sure do....BR 549......
And we raced to do it!It's hard to believe we used to have to answer the phone without knowing who was calling.
....which was good, cuz I could remember it by how many toes I had.....
When I was a kid, I think Florida only had two area codes (maybe 3).
Did you happen to live at a used car lot run by a rotund feller named Junior?
Nah, that's his social security number.
LOL. The only time girls called me was to cry over my best friend breaking up with them and to ask me why he didn't like them anymore......hmmmmm.....
I remember Hee Haw and the Flinstones. I lived through the 80's bad hair and all. I remember when you had to actually get up to change the channel. I also remember when the microwave came out.
When I was a little kid, we had a black & white TV. I could never understand when the open titles of a show said the show was "in living color" why I couldn't see it in color. Mom would say because we have a black and white TV and I would argue, "but it says in living color." I would not accept mom's answer.
During a week in the 1960’s I remember everyone had to go and get a polio vaccine (I believe that’s what is was for) given in the form of a sugar cube. It was a mass social event... the 'Candy Polio Vaccine.' Everyone in town had to go to the middle school to receive it. It was a real hoot for all the kids... we ran rampant.
Yes to all! And my best friend's family got a Beta (before VHS) tape machine that had a remote.... attached by a 20 foot cord to the machine!
