Physical address book



Toronto has closed their High Park  for the cherry blossom season to avoid dangerous crowds at this time of COVID.  You can however watch the live bloom cam they have set up here.

I decided after many many years to create a new physical address book. The old one we kept by the kitchen phone was outdated and quite messy after many updates scratched in over the years. Do you still use a physical address book?

    I still use an address book, completely scratched.

  3. We still have the same address book that we've had for years. There are multiple addresses and phone numbers scratched out and replaced with new ones over the years. There are listings for people who are no longer alive as well. I wouldn't dream of replacing it. -Jenn

  4. Oh yeah, we still use ours. For sure. Though I am in the thinking to change it up and clean it up a bit. Remove the old numbers and such. We use it also for our passwords.

  6. Yes, but the Micro Manager won't discard anything so it gets bigger and messier.

  9. i haven't had one in years. I don't even remember where I might have put or lost the last one. All addresses are on computer. probably a good idea to have one though.

  11. I do try to keep a hard copy of information. It's just safer and more secure I feel. Love the comic and thanks for the link to the cherry blossoms!

  12. I had a Rolodex for many years, but when we moved I decided to get rid of it. All the information is in my phone now, and it was just taking up space.

  13. Yes, I still use a physical address book … in fact one of my Christmas gifts was a new one … which reminds me I still haven't finished updating it and we are now in May!

    All the best Jan

  16. *Sigh* Cherry blossoms.
    I DO have an old phone book, it's from 1994 and I still pull it out on occasion. Sadly, a lot of the people in it have passed.

  17. Silly joke:) I have an old address book, but do not use it. It's nice to turn the pages once in a while.

  18. My husband has an old address book but I don't. All my information is either on my phone or in contacts in my email. Now that I think about it, that's not a good idea!
