LOL! Thanks … just a reminder of how old I am. I still use the occasional stamp for services that don’t accept online payment. There are still a few! … now they are old and behind the times! ;-)

And I can remember when we would take the earpiece off the hook and a voice would say “Number please”. And, by the way, we were on a party line - very dull if I remember.

Hey, I can remember when you could leave a letter with the money for the stamp in your mail box and the postman would put the stamp on for you. Our ring on the party line was three long and one short but everyone picked up and listened in. Our first phone number was 493J.
