What? Don't they still sell canned hams?

We may be the last generation to use these. The “we” I’m referring to are those born prior to 1970.

Tell me about it! I wrote a check…yes, a check! A few weeks ago at a box store I didn’t have a CC account and I heard about 4 people moan because I stole 45 Seconds of their lives as I whipped out that cursed check. I could’ve applied for credit but I chose the antiquated Cheque system instead…
I had cash but feared for my life when the cashier had to figure out my change.

You antique, you! :eyebrow:!
How dare you do things in analog way. Those precious 45 seconds kept them using them in a more productive way. Hmm. Now what could they be doing? :wacky:

These are the same folks that probably have their entire financialworld on their phone too. That’s a scary thought. I too prefer a bit of separation.

At least you weren’t one of the people who goes through 4 or 5 credit cards to find one with room still left on it. Frustrating for us, but sad for them.

I saw a TV show warning that there’s a way to read a CC right from someone’s wallet or pocket. Those cards you tap have an RF sensor.
I like convenience too but I don’t have to tap my way to pay. I’m not in that big of a hurry!

Tang was the bomb! It’s what the astronauts drink…so it must be superior to “real” orange juice. I remember when it first came out my Mom bought real OJ and me and my Brother were upset. Ha! Oh and if Tang said add 2 tsp to one cup we used 2 tbs.

You can get Tang now in both powder and liquid form. Walmart has it. :thumbsup:
