When we are all stuck together in a situation like that, many people start looking out for others.<br /><br />As for not remembering phone numbers, i have a few memorized for that very reason.

One department started allowing them to copy down 5 numbers from their phone before it is locked away in hopes that will help.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768256566462414032.post-52088669502748129442015-04-08T00:29:37.397+12:002015-04-08T00:29:37.397+12:00Times have changed for sure :)

And the postman brought letters and postcards every once in a while.<br />Today my mailbox contains bills and junk mail only and I feel sort of helpless without my mobile.<br />You sure had great help out there, that's really not common these days anymore!<br />Have a beautiful day<br /><a href="http://knipsapasstscho.blogspot.de" rel="nofollow">【ツ】Knipsa </a><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846763360150957086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768256566462414032.post-43335208452274507022015-04-07T22:23:55.538+12:002015-04-07T22:23:55.538+12:00I am fortunate in that I rarely have my phone with...I am fortunate in that I rarely have my phone with me.
