A few days ago...Thursday, the time before the last time my car wouldn't start (damn weather!) I don't have a cell.
Washed all your dishes by hand?
No dishwasher at my apartment, so Hannah and I hand wash them.
Rode public transportation that wasn't a subway (i.e. the bus)?
I'm not built to ride buses. My legs are short and the stairs are difficult. Also, I live in the 'burbs and buses are limited. I ride trains. Happily.
Made popcorn not in a microwave? And what device did you use?
I don't eat popcorn. I've made it on the stove within the last few years. My kids eat the micro stuff.
Played an LP? Bought an LP? Saw an LP? Played: 12-18 month range. Saw: I see them most days in several places in the house. Bought: I do not remember. It's been quite a while. I do see used ones at the library (for sale) relatively frequently.
Used a rotary phone? Saw a rotary phone? Used: Can't remember. I love them but my fingers can't really manage them much.
Saw: I think we have one around here somewhere, so I saw it in the last couple of months.
Changed channels without a remote?
Today. I don't watch much but I wanted to see the news. All TVs in the *house* have remotes and neither one in my apartment does. The living room one isn't even cable-ready.
Had a watch that actually required winding? Same problem as the rotary phone. I couldn't wind it if I had one.
Had a gas station attendant pump your gas?
I think it was on a drive through Arizona. 1982.
Used an electric typewriter? A manual one? Saw a manual one? I like electrics and use them in the library occasionally. Regular use was at a job processing insurance claims. 1990. I can't use a manual because of the fibro in the hands. I do see them occasionally. Several people in the family collect antiques. I saw one in a library a couple of months ago.
Wow! Time warp!
Used a pay phone?
