I think about that all the time, since it is impossible to look up someone's phone number online without paying for it or getting a subscription, unless the person you're looking for has a personal page with it out there to see.

However many pages back y'all were talking about record albums. I still have many of my records from the 60s - 80s. And yes, I still have a decent record player, Denon, that I use. Just replaced the stylus about a year ago.

My Dad collected LP's. He had hundreds of albums. When he passed away I inherited his collection.

Him and my Mom stayed "hip" with the times and were into the Beach Boys, The Beatles and more. LOL, I even took my Pops to see Frank Zappa back in '76. My Dad loved Zappa's music. Zappa still gets regular airplay in my home.

Many of you are old enough to know exactly what double album this is:

It's The Beatles double album known colloquially as the "White Album", released in '68.
LOLz, I inherited all The Beatles and Beach Boys albums and hundreds of jazz LP's that go way way back. Eventually I will sell them, and yes, I do know their current value. My Dad was a jazz musician (tenor sax) and the majority of LP's are jazz.

These days the majority of my music is in lossless FLAC format. I have a dedicated computer with an external 16TB RAID connected to my stereo system. Less wear on the records. LOL.

Great album, I used to have it

Never sit down without a plan as to how to get back up, especially from the floor.

Not only that, but Coke doesn't even taste like it did before they changed to New Coke, then faked changing back to what it was. Now, it's just disgusting.

 

[Freyja]

My Auntie? ME.

And it had a soft pack in it, not a box.

I used to be a huge coke fan and I agree with you it doesn't taste like it did, worked out great for me cause I can't have it anymore and that fact helped loads in gettin me to quit drinkin it

And then there were the aluminum cases that crushed ciggies when the guys put them in their pockets.



The plastic two piece ones weren't any better, but most can at be used as soap caddies for travel.

 

[misswish]

Change counter. I remember when bus drivers, etc. used them to make change for you.
