mom2three - I grew up in CF - went to WPHS. How about you?
Yes, I remember those E tickets! Did you ever go to any of those "Back to School Parties" or "Valentine Parties" out there where you could buy one ticket & ride all night? Guess that system worked so well that they changed the whole format.
re: the OP - My kids' friends laugh because we say t.v. "clicker" for "remote". I think it comes from the old channel changers that used to make a big clicking sound. We try to tell them it's because we had channel changers in the "early days" of the technology!
Anyway, we're weird.
(Just wait until we get our studio finished & have our old record player hooked up!)
