[just moved] got my cable hooked up right away!

I see you have your priorities straight!

Are you old enough to remember the days when a person moved and would get all psyched out (pre-cell phones, pre-PC's) when the telephone installer didn't arrive for three days and we felt we were cut off from the outside world?

Oh lordy yes I'm old enough to remember that! Heck I'm old enough to remember when we picked up the phone and gave the number we wanted to the operator:) No prefixes either- just 3 or 4 digits! We'd pick up the phone and she'd come on and say "Number, please" and we'd say 356 or 1066 etc!
