I remember getting into trouble with my aunt right after she got the first in home phone we had ever seen...back then you could dial your own number, hang up fast and it would ring! We did it over and over...we were a simple lot and easily entertained! :laugh:

I don't remember that, but I remember party-line telephones. ::)
And telephone "numbers" that had letters in them: EX5-5555.
And when we went to visit my grandmother, if my mother wanted to telephone my aunt, whose phone number was in the same exchange as my grandmother's, she only had to dial the last four digits of the number.

You still have drive-ins in Europe? You're lucky Kelda. Drive-ins are quickly disappearing over here. At least they are in my part of the country. I miss them. They were a lot of fun. :)
David In Indy:
The last time I was at a drive-in was when I lived in Evansville. Starlite Drive-in was about a 15 minute drive from my house, across the river in Henderson, Kentucky. It was located way out in the country on highway 60, with lots of woods all around it. It was beautiful. I think we saw Con-Air and Casper the last time I was there. I don't know if Starlite is still open or not.
Kelda:
Id never even seen a drive in i didnt think they existed in europe but apparently there is one in Brussels.

Well I hope you all decide to go to the drive-in! You'd have lots of fun... especially if you go with a bunch of brokies!! :D
There's something magical about sitting outside under the night sky watching a movie with your friends. I know that probably sounds a bit corny, but it's true. I really do miss those drive-ins.
