vwbusguy, 13 days ago Another thing that's different from my childhood: How ubiquitous the #ReadersDigest was. It was in every doctor's office and in as many homes. I don't remember the last time I saw a Readers Digest.

Mirppc, 13 days ago @vwbusguy As fat as I know readers digest still exists and their children's magazine is still in production. The parents read Reader's Digest while the kids read Highlights. I had a subscription to it and Nintendo Power.

peter, 13 days ago @Ric @vwbusguy the last phone book I got was about 4 years ago with it labelled as the last one. Shortly afterwards some put theirs on eBay, as if people would be eager to buy something delivered free to their door

vwbusguy, 13 days ago @peter @Ric I remember a sense of feeling like I'd arrived in adulthood when I saw my own name/number in the phonebook.
