Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
My dad still has the same mobile phone number as the bag phone he got for his car in the late 80s, but we never spent more than 6 years in the same house when I was a kid, so our land line changed a lot.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Wow. I can’t remember the number we had when I was a kid, but when we moved when I was about 13 - they gave us a new number - even though we just moved to another part of the suburb we lived in. My mom and dad still have that number - but I have not called it in ages. I just call their cell. If I had to guess at my childhood number it would be 414-421-8510 and I’d say I have about 95% confidence in my recollection. What’s crazy is that I have not had a landline in almost 5 years and my kids will probably grow up never really knowing what it was like to have a phone hanging on the kitchen wall or by the bed. My cousin’s daughter is 20 years younger than me (born in 1997) and my uncle is 20 years older than me (born in 1957) and my formative years had far more in common with my uncle than my cousin’s daughter. Life changed at a regular pace for decades and then it seemed like it just started changing faster and faster and faster.

Helping a friemd find an apartment. Go to see this one place and there's like 50 of these things.
I ask if the tap water is ok to drink and he says yeah, I just have them "because you never know". And said in a way that it should be obvious and dont most people do this.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I worked in a grocery story during college - and on the eve of Y2K we were literally just pulling out huge pallets of water direct onto the floor and people would just grab case after case. They wouldn’t even open them. Gallons of bottled water come 6 to a case and they are packed in heavy cardboard. Not easy to lug around - but man - that was insane. A typical pallet would hold about 25 cases and they would be gone within 15 minutes.revbob wrote: ↑21 Jan 2018, 2:14pmHe doesn't look like a wierd prepper type.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑21 Jan 2018, 1:41pmGuv'mint water has "chemicals" in it, pardner.revbob wrote: ↑21 Jan 2018, 1:27pmHelping a friemd find an apartment.

He was certainly quirky and OCD. His hands were pretty raw and had a lot of specific rules of the house. He also couldnt keep his stories straight so it all added up to major creep factor so no go.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑21 Jan 2018, 2:52pmThe scary thing is they look more and more normal these days.
