Me and my brother are about ready to demand an upheaval. We are both planning to go back to flip phones, among other changes. His birthday is this weekend. I got him a walkman that plays cassettes and also has AM/FM radio! (Also I think it is awesome that the radio still exists) And I found him a new sealed INXS cassette.
Starting with small steps to try to get back to some semblance of normalcy and simplicity.
I’m tired of this “right now” society that we live in. It’s time to fight back.

Nothing is special anymore. Let’s hit the rewind button..

Geez, I wonder if I still have my case of cassette tapes somewhere. Lots of good 60's-90's tunes in there.

I have all my old Metallica tapes tucked away!!

I've got several shoeboxes of cassettes. Mostly 80s and 90s hair bands.

Metallica and Megadeath had the best t-shirts!

To start your time warp, first jump to the left and then step to the right.

Never went past a flip phone. Talk, text, take a picture, don't need anything else in a phone. Stays off most of the time.

Don't know that I can. I've somehow lucked into having a passel of clients that I've never met in person. They shoot me an email, I reply back to arrange a look see for a quote, they sign the quote and send it back, I keep them updated with photos and descriptions of critters caught. I invoice electronically and they pay on their end straight to my bank or if they send a check I deposit it via my bank's app with a photo of the check. All handled via this phone I'm typing on.

Ahhhh....Enter the Sandman....BA tune.

Frayed Ends of Sanity has always been my favorite Metallica song
And for what it was, Hero of the Day makes my heart swell up!

LOlL, I stall have 8 tracks..
Just need to grab some matchbooks to.shim them

I don’t have to go far to get away. I was about 4 hours north of home……..nothing, not even our DMRs could find a tower. It was kinda peaceful for about 45 min driving through that isolated country, looking at the bear trying get at the problem beaver up there……lol

I still have a few 8 track tapes and even some old VCR tapes. How about the old pagers one had to carry around for work? I still think that was the start of all these crazy cell phones we now have. On rainy day I've been going through some of my old boxes of junk and even found a old bag phone. THing weights about 5 lbs.campared to the new E phones

Nothing wrong with a smart phone, IF you use it for the normal stuff you use a flip phone anyway, plus a few benefits, like getting the weather, directions to a place you haven't been before, etc....it's when you can't put it down is the problem....and...there's an off button if you need quiet time, lol. Amazing tool if your not addicted!,
