Yes, and the more I live by myself the crankier I get also. Ironraven is right, you are babied in this day and age.

As for me when I was growing up:

Our family finally got a color tv when I was .......12!! It still had 13 channels on it. We usually got 3 stations about then, if lucky. Cable tv as a kid? Nope. I learned to type on a "Royal" brand manual typewriter. They didn't have PC's in my high school, or any kind of computers. We still had rotary dial phones and were still tethered to the wall by them. I could go on and on, but why would I want to sound "cranky?" lol
