I still have my bag phone. But that was only the 90s. Go back to the trunk mounted mobile phones of Mannix. Rates were in the dollars per minute and you had to had a mobile phone operator connect you.

Laredo was a brand of home assembled smokers. You bought the smelly stuff, the paper cylinders and a special machine to stuff the smelly stuff into the paper cylinders. I think there were filters too.

And yes, people were using them for other smelly stuff.

ISOIR: pay phones and phone booths. And always needing ¢10 to call my first girlfriend.

ISOIR: “call back at night, when the rates are cheaper.” Long distance calls were expensive and a big deal. I don’t even think long distance is a thing anymore.

Calling long distance during the day would cost a small fortune.

ISOIR having to go to CVS to buy 35mm film, loading my pain in the ass camera that often didn't catch and feed, taking slutty selfies with no idea what I actually captured, going back to CVS to drop off the roll for developing, picking them up the next day from Glenn the CVS guy, sorting through for one that didn't suck, then finally hand delivering them the next day. The struggle of selfies with pouty lips and bare tits was very real.

You ever see that creepy Robin Williams movie One Hour Photo? For some reason reminds me of this.

lol. Maybe. Apparently, I'm so old I can't remember what movies I've seen anymore if I only saw them once. In my defense, 90s and early 20s were my stoner years.

Understandable. Some of your stories and memories from 90s are at times so familiar it seems like just maybe we hung out but again wild old days.

 

[Justadesperatewifeandmom]

ISOIR when hearing "sorry, I can't get all of your hair in the picture" was instant bragging rights. Not sure if current brags of "I have all my own teeth and still don't have to wake up at night to pee" is better or worse.

never know, I was probably the chick in a crop top, ripped flair jeans, with a bottle of vodka, not actually paying attention to the Gator talk and was really just there for the jello shots. I am sure that narrows it down to like 80% of the chicks lol.

Yep there was a few of you. Most of my Gville times were alcohol fueled spent around shows at Hardback and Covered Dish.

I remember watching Mary Lou Retton winning championships and then on TV in the ‘84 Olympics.

... before there was CVS.

It wasn't that long ago. They started expanding in the 70s and 80s, but it wasn't until the late 80s to early 90s that most people across the country would be aware of them.

I hear you. My dad had a pharmacy. He made good money. About the time big chains started up, the 70s, he was robbed at gun point, told if he didn't hand over all his narcotics, he would get to watch my brother's brain explode. My dad's business didn't recover. Neither did my dad.
