1.  Making mixtapes.

2.  Putting photos into albums.

3.  Recording TV shows on your VCR.

4.  Having printed photos around the house.

5.  The excitement of seeing how the photos from a roll of film turned out.

6.  Handwritten letters.

7.  Sending love letters.

8.  Sending postcards.

9.  Having a penpal.

10.  Buying CDs and having a CD collection.

A few things that just missed the top 10 are:  Phone books . . . playing board games . . . disposable cameras . . . and remembering phone numbers by heart.

How Long Can You Use the Same Sheets Before It’s Gross? The Average Person Says 35 Days

How long can you use the same sheets before you’re a disgusting human being?  According to a new survey, it’s more than a MONTH.  The average person says 35 days.  On day 36, you’re officially gross.

Not surprisingly, a large part of America’s SINGLE population falls into that “gross” category.  The average single person waits 40 days to change their sheets . . . 35 days for single women, and 45 days for single men.

The overall average is 24 days . . . 19 days for women, 30 days for men, and 20 days for married couples.  The one time men are more likely to change their sheets is when they might get LUCKY.  49% of single men put on fresh sheets if they think they’re going to have sex.  Only 39% of single women do.
