    It's an image I copied and pasted from an email sent to me. All the memes' i've posted in this thread were done the same way. Are all those not showing up as well?

    As far as I can see. Why don't you just right click the image in the e mail, then save it to your computer, and post it from there?

    We had a wall mounted rotary. With it, you only had to dial the from the third digit on if it was local (ie, our number was 6-8637), but with those fancy ‘Touch Tones’ some of the neighbors had it was 536-8637.
    I knew people in Cornelia, Ga who were still on a party line in the early ‘90s.

    I had an idea (while watch Ellen’s Game of Games) for a millenial/gen x game show-the challenge is a list of tasks. Make a call on a rotary phone, set an analog alarm clock, load film into a camera and take a photo, etc. Each contestant has to drive a manual transmission and carbureted car to each task location, and all the tasks and directions are written in cursive. Their guidance is a paper map. Some of the directions will require rudimentary compass use.

    895-0345 for our house, wall mounted rotary in the kitchen with a 25ft cord that would stretch anywhere. My grandmothers was TX2-0322. And yes, I just changed my work password today and forgot it two hours later during a meeting...

    My phone number at my home growing up was GR9-3740. (479-3740).6 people on party line Then came the area code system, originally all SC was 803. Later out part of SC became 843. When I got my cell phone (Old reliable flip phone) I was able to have my old home phone number become my cell phone number... So long story short, I've had the same number associated with my home life ALL...OF...MY...LIFE!!!

    With regards to passwords, I'm SO lost. I wrote them down on a message to myself, and that computer crashed!!!
