Like Sue said, she was way ahead of her time.<br /><br />In the early fifties, we had a two-letter phone exchange, followed by five numbers. (Which really meant nothing, because our ATwater exchange translated to the numbers 2 and 8.) Most everybody I knew was on a party line back then, too. Not good if the other folks on the line were nosy busy-bodies...Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-25025553594640071742015-05-20T17:55:41.689+08:002015-05-20T17:55:41.689+08:00I replied before but it wouldn't publish so tr...I replied before but it wouldn't publish so trying again.<br />I have a good memory for numbers...up to 10...but not for names although that is normal for older people and sometimes with the not so old too.<br />I have found out how to store numbers in our new mobile phone but only store a couple as we seldom use it and rely on our landline to make calls from home. xxMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-60071880428358454712015-05-20T17:53:56.712+08:002015-05-20T17:53:56.712+08:00I think some numbers were even shorter than that b...I think some numbers were even shorter than that but perhaps before my time.<br />We didn't have a phone till after Steve was born in 1957 and not sure when exactly it was.<br />I have my own address/telephone book with all numbers and addresses written out and updated regularly. I do store important numbers into our landline but as we seldom use the mobile I only store my daughter's number in there plus the RAC in case of car trouble. Normally we wouldn't make calls from our mobile unless Phil calls me when he is out. I think he dials that manually anyway. As you can see we really are a couple of old fogies.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-24696968172413041512015-05-20T17:45:47.291+08:002015-05-20T17:45:47.291+08:00That is good to hear Charlie.

I have a granddaughter who was in a special ed class at school and they looked after her very well.<br />I don't have an IPhone or anything like that so have my own address book/telephone directory sitting next to my landline. I do have a few programmed into that phone though but still remember lots of numbers. Older people are good at that.<br />Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-17079786673593875662015-05-20T17:44:08.387+08:002015-05-20T17:44:08.387+08:00I saw on TV today about a band made up of mentally...I saw on TV today about a band made up of mentally retarded people (they were very good) and thought then how far society has come in giving those people a life. To think that 60 years ago they were often placed in mental asylums doesn't bear thinking about.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-71785641669154476022015-05-20T16:38:25.798+08:002015-05-20T16:38:25.798+08:00I remember shorter phone numbers, although we didn...I remember shorter phone numbers, although we didn't have a phone until I was married and expecting baby #3, living in Sydney. But as a child I remember a phone box on almost every block and only the rich had their own home phone. <br />These days if one wanted to carry a diary with all the numbers needed it would require a wheelbarrow to cart it around. Thank heavens for mobiles etc that are capable of storing all those numbers.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-72729376591966271252015-05-20T13:47:00.138+08:002015-05-20T13:47:00.138+08:00Hari OM

She loves those kids so much. Mum remembers those early phone number days. Life was so simple then. She does, however, now store numbers in her iphone but does remember all her frequently dialled numbers and dials them manually. Some of the young ones don't even do that!!Charliedownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212403434770733660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-47093452571002289802015-05-20T07:51:00.657+08:002015-05-20T07:51:00.657+08:00Yet another area where she was ahead of her time.Yet another area where she was ahead of her time.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
