How about... the clatter of a screen door _ a real, wooden screen door with a hook-and-eye lock _ slamming shut on a summer day as you step out onto your porch?
Curse these well-fitting, lightweight, perfectly sealed and nearly silent modern screen doors...because I still walk into them on occasion...

holy crap
Wait, what?!? That wasn't me, that was Sailor the Lab!
We use our landline heaps more than our mobiles (mainly because of the ridiculous cost of cell calls in NZ). When our daughter was born we only had a film camera so have stacks of photos of her. When our son was born we had a digital and have hardly any physical pics of him, they are all on the computer.
This is so true- I have albums and albums of my daughter - but my son's photo's are all digital and since I'm not computer smart - they seem forever stuck on the computer ...
my kids are (4) yrs apart and what a big difference in technology in just 4 yrs.
I am the opposite of this - most of the pictures of my kids when they were young are physical pics and it drives me nuts. I love having all the digital pics, its a lot easier for me to organize them and look through them all.

I like the old school pics...when they were square (4"x4") with the rounded corners.....and also the ones with the date in the corner...not the burned in kind...they would print them in the corner...I think when you got them developed.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

do you have the b/w pics with the white border and the fancy edging on them too?
my dad was a camera freak...he'd take pics of me with all the old cameras he'd fix up. I have lots of those 12x18 old school pics taken with...
I even still have a case that he'd keep the plates in...for all you kiddies out there, there were these plates (like for an x-ray) and you'd have to load the camera with a plate, take the picture with the huge dinner plate sized flash bulb that would blind you, then pull the plate out, and go to the dark room to develop it. I usually looked like a deer caught in headlights...

My mom has shoe boxes FULL of those old B&W photos...so much fun to look through them all and try to see if we can tell who's who...for the most part we can...like my dad for instance, seems he looked the same when he was 30 as he did when he was 80!!! LOL! to funny

I love phyiscal photos, in albums. I feel guilty that my daughter has a full album and my sons is barely half. Although that may have more to do with the exitement of the first born :?
All my childhood pics are the rounded edged square & rectangle pics.
