When I was a kid my family owned a device whose sole purpose was to rewind vhs tapes.

    We still have a landline (technically VoIP) phone. There’s also a list of important phone numbers written on the fridge. Good for emergencies.

    There are few things more nerve wracking than frantically trying to find your cell phone and the number for poison control after your kid just swallowed something they shouldn’t have.

      It’s fortunate where I live that poison control just uses the standard emergency services number.

      I can’t imagine how hard it must be to recall the number during an emergency where time is a factor. Particularly if the number is like 0118 999 881 999 119 725… 3

      I hope your kids are okay
