Other things I believe you can looking forward to kissing goodbye - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Well Sat. mail will stop being delivered, so here are a couple of other things I think we can say bye to in the near future.

I think mail in general will stop being delivered, if you want your mail, you'll have to pick it up at the post office, like everything else you will have to go to THEM.

I think HOME HEALTH will eventually be cut out, again the idea of an actual flesh and blood person coming to your house for ANY reason will be obsolete.

If you need physical therapy you will have to go to THEM to get it, to the hospital or where ever, and you'll just have to get there the best way you can, if you're elderly and have a hard time getting there.....too bad for you.

Basically anything that requires someone coming to your house will cease I think.

Could you imagine calling 911 for an emergency and the operator telling you to drop dead?

It honestly would NOT surprise me. The idea of ambulances being cut out would really not surprise me. Again like everything else, if you have an emergency you will have to go to THEM, the best way you can.

I remember a time if you had an emergency you could get inside the Police Dept. ANYTIME of the day or night and there was always someone there 24/7, the one in our town locks the doors at 6pm, I remember once I was out at night at 11pm and someone CRAZY got behind me started blwoing and trying to run me off the road, SO I drove to the police dept. and not a soul in sight, the doors were locked. I think there was someone in there SOMEWHERE, but as far as getting them to the door, prolly impossible.

Ppl just don't wanna fool with anything anymore or do anything. I just dont look forward to everything going out of existence excpet maybe cell phones.

My uncle jokes that eventually EVERYTHING will go out of existence except a HUGE cell phone that everyone will be plugged into. He says ppl won't even have houses anymore. lol

To add to what you said, I could see Pizza delivery being stopped. Some of it because of the price of gas.

RoryGilmore · 02-07-2013, 03:41 PM

Ambulances will stay. So much ER visits are old people arriving by ambulances also pizza delivery will stay because places put a delivery fee in to supplement the price of gas

Pizza delivery is kinda a new thing anyway. I mean it came about in the 80s I think which isn't like ancient.

But I could still see ambulances stopping, and as far as older people relying on them, too bad! That's is the order of the day, everything is geared toward the masses.

When I have to take my grandma to the hospital for checkups, we half to walk what seems like a half a mile UPHILL, and it's all she can do to make it, and no one even offers to help. Used to they would have come right to her home.

I've worked in the ER and nursing homes always use ambulances when something is wrong and ambulances are required to take them back home at the end of the visit

The old incandescent light bulbs are being replaced by those long swirly bulbs. The problem is that all of my ceiling light fixture globes are not large enough to cover them. And they aren't as bright. I can't find a regular light bulb around here anymore so I found some on Ebay and ordered 12 of them!

RoryGilmore · 02-08-2013, 11:26 AM

My fiance found some of the old ones last May but I have no clue where

Coffeecup · 02-08-2013, 05:46 PM

I wonder about Ambulances. I don"t think they would vanish that much. Around here, it minimum 500.00 fee. We have a hospital and nursing home within a stone's throw and if a person has to be transported there, $500.00. That is a costly taxi ride. Then whenever is done in the ambulance another fee is tacked on. Many times I would love to not take the ambulance to save the money but the hospitals are so nervous if you took a turn for the worst.
They would rather you live and pay the high price, than for you to save money. Then again it all depends on what ailment you have. Broken leg or possible heart attack are two different situations.

Coffeecup · 02-08-2013, 05:48 PM

Then with all the phobias about germs, we might be kissing KISSING goodbye.

School textbooks are quickly becoming a thing of the past. The sight of kids lugging backpacks full of them home is just not going to happen soon. All learning materials will be accessed online or at the very least, in an offline computer format. Not sure how I feel about this. It's understandable, but somehow sad to me. Probably just me getting old, lol.

I know and my grandma HATES that, she likes the older ones.

And that's the problem with this new stuff, SO MUCH of it is not compatable with the older things, so you have spend hundreds of dollars to redo your whole house.

Like I have a DVR player now and for SOME REASON, you can't record off TV. It just seems like with every upgrade, something is lost.

Well I heard they have already stopped teaching cursive, and that someday they will stop teaching kids how to write altogether!

And I will tell you how I feel about it, I don't care if it does make me sound old, it is RIDICULIOUS!!!! I mean, this world is gonna be so dumb, people SHOULD know how to write!! If the computer messes up we are going to be doomed!

It will get to the point where we wont even have to SPEAK, something will convey our thought waves.

I honestly don't look forward to it, it's SAD!
