When you see a video store and it's all VHS tapes, it feels like you have stepped into a time capsule. (this actually happened a few weeks ago when my husband and I went to the coast and it was like they never left the 90's and they had very little DVDs, that was how it was when I was in middle school and beginning of high school when DVDs were starting to get more popular. It brought back my childhood)

  I owned a (used) VCR in my 20s.  I remember the washed-out, watery colors of the VHS tapes.  :nerdy:

We still have a VCR. My son thought the video tapes were strange looking when he saw them. I told him that is what we used before we had DVDs. Reminds me of the days when I thought the 8 tracks were strange looking cassette tapes and thought a Beta tape was a smaller VHS.

..you remember your neighbours who showed you something called a VCR that could play tapes up to 30 minutes long.

And you better return the tape! :zoinks:

A wanted North Carolina man was arrested this week on charges he failed to return a VHS tape to a video store 14 years ago, police said on Thursday.

James Meyers, 37, of Concord, was driving his daughter to school when he was pulled over by police for a broken brake light, according to a video Meyers posted on YouTube on Tuesday.

Meyers said officers ran his driver's license and told him he had an outstanding arrest warrant for not returning a movie to J&J Video in Salisbury, North Carolina.

  ... you suddenly realize most of your furniture is ugly shabby hand-me-down shite,
  and that you want some nicer things before you die, so you'd better get on that pronto,
  because time's a-wasting and ya never know.    :death:  :trollskull:
