I pull up new places on Google maps and still print them off to take with me. Emoticon

I miss maps. I was always our navigator. Not now, we have a GPS in everything, with a built in camera.

@Blackbird : I have a friend that also looks up directions at home and prints them out! Refuses to use the GPS in the car to this day. I joke it's because he doesn't like a female (Siri) telling him directions. Like the days where women had no problems going to a gas station to ask for directions which was in contrast to the lost men….. 😁😁😁😁😁😁

@susieq : But the GPS can really get you turned around sometimes. Always good to have a map for back up. My GPS goes insane when I'm in Alvin near 35. If I listened to it I would still be going in circles😭

@susieq : I navigated us thru the back roads of W Ireland, in the days when the signs were black and white. You'd pull up to a 3 way intersection and some town would be listed 3 times in 3 different directions. You just had to choose if you wanted to go 3 different distances.

@Dorothy : My brother drives for a living, dropping off medical supplies. He has a GPS but wishes it just showed a map.

I remember all of the above. I miss printing out my Google maps or Mapquest maps whenever I travelled to different places. I enjoyed reading maps too when I needed to get somewhere. I don't miss the yellow pages. It was a huge waste to print those books anyways. Waste of trees.

Going in circles is right. In 2019 headed out to UT Medical on 610 Loop West, I thought ok I will rely on my GPS. I call her "Lulu Navigator". Lulu tells me to get off at Westpark - duh, Westpark exit is closed for 3-4 month due to all of that construction. I pass Westpark and Lulu starts re-calculating. This goes on for 3 passes pass the Westpark so called exit. Okay, 1 more time around. On my 4th trip going down 610, get caught in major traffice and am dead stopped when WHOA, Lulu proudly announced I had arrived at my destination...as I am sitting dead stopped in the middle lane of 610 West Loop heading North. I look left and there is the address I need... I guess Lulu wanted me to just park there and run across all 6 lanes of 610. Now I print out my maps.

@Knk : I did use the orange book but now I don't mind when I asked Siri for directions @Magnolia832 after all I'm a lady so I listen to my friend Siri. Though I print my maps just in case😊

@Magnolia832 : Tell your friend to change the Siri voice from a woman to man. I made mine a man with a British accent. Fell in love all over again.

@susieq : I do too. But I can honestly say as a total leftie, my map folding skills are right up their with the whole fitted sheet situation🤦

Fitted sheets are why God made pillow cases. I fold them to the best of my ability, which is questionable, then put the flat, the fitted, and the extra pillow case in one case. I then slap it around till it looks pretty good, and put it in the closet. That way, a whole set is contained in semi-neat package, and no one can judge my folding skills.

I take the sheets off, wash and dry them, put them back on. Just the one set.
I remember my 90 year old father stand up from the computer, walk to the hall closet to take a phone book off the top shelf to get me a phone number. I found that so funny.
