Remember when

What do you guys consider short? I don't think I've dated anyone over 5'2"

 

Listen... we gotta stop with all of this "short" talk. This is 2022.
The proper accepted term is "Vertically Challenged".

 

I’m not offended by my vertical challenges…. Carry on

 

I remember thinking I was the king when I went to a BMX freestyle show in 1985 and used my Kodak instant camera (which I spent a fortune on 3 packs of film for that day) to get pics of it. Think I still have them somewhere.

I worked with 2 girls long ago that were not even 5 feet tall

 

My last gf was only 4’ 10¾", according to her.

 

I think I have a 110 somewhere..
mmmmmmmm

 

Jesus, here we go again

 

Remember before there was such a thing as "1+" dialing? When every long distance call had to be placed hrough the operator? Remember Operators???

 

Do schools still have home economics class?

 

Those 2 I worked with were 4 11 1/2 and 4 11 3/4..and got very made if I didn't include the fraction in the total.

 

I think anyone under 5' does this. I think @DoubleRGirl does as well.

 

Another friend of mine does as well though she loves her stiletto heels whenever possible to wear them.

 

Mine was a Kodak. Blue button to press to take a photo. Thumb slide to advance the film. No need to rewind... It used flash "bulb" cartridges (I think 8 per cart) which essentially was another camera that you stuck / plugged into the top of the 110 at 90 degrees... They didn't take "great" pictures compared to 35mm, but all things considered today, not too shabby unless you are comparing to a Getty Image.

I am certain you can't find film for it, let alone anyone who'd develop it for you... Many places (if any at all) even have the capability.

Remember when you chose the speed of your film depending on what you planned to shoot? You couldn't mix-and-match. You had to choose when you loaded the roll... Low speed 100 with lots of light outside... or 800 for indoors... The high speed stuff was very grainy...

 

Manual typewriter for the first half of the quarter then electric for the second half. It gave a complete understanding of the term “heavy handed” when we switched to the electric typewriters.

 

My mother was one.
I ran the switchboard for an hour when I was a kid. (With my mum behind me and plugged in of course)
You see old videos of ladies pulling and plugging in cables..
That was the real deal.
Them headsets weighed like 35 pounds.

 

Great memory. Thank you for the refresher

 

The belly shirts !

tube tops were fine as well

 

Excuse me I'm over 5'. I'm 5'1 3/4"
