I have made sure to still know a few numbers in case of phone loss but I don’t have NEARLY the recall I used to

My phone number from 5th grade: 458-9580 👍 my brain has hung on to that one for 43 years.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Hugs friend. ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Making things with my hands has actually helped me a bit. Even just sitting down with some crayons and a colouring book for a 1/2 hour has really helped my brain. 😘♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ I’m sorry things are like this rn.

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been

I think a lot of people don't quite grasp how little documentation of a legal identity anyone had before, like, the 1930s. No social security number, no green card, no driver's license. This made you reliant on your social network; OTOH nobody could force you to write your name a certain way.
