Here is my top ten list of the things I used to do but don't do any more.
1. I used to think first before acting on impulse.. Now I think twice before not acting.
2. I used to ride a bike ... Now I am considering giving the bike away to a kid.
3. I used to eat like a glutton without thinking ... Now I eat too much and wish I didn't.
4. I used to watch analog t.v. ... Now I watch the same shows in digital format
5. I once used to walk to school on a cold October day ... Now I walk to the store on a warm October day.
6. I once used to eat tuna right from the can ... Now I mix mayonnaise and Miss Dash and boiled eggs into it and make a sandwich out of it..
7. I used to play tennis at the park ... Now I am considering giving away my tennis rackets and balls because I haven't used them in over two decades.
8. I used to play the trumpet in a band ... Now the trumpet sits in the closet
9. I used to read an average of one book a week ... Now I read one book a month, sometimes more than one book but not usually. I read more online than books for real.
10. I used to give out Christmas cards in November ... Now I save my stamps for paying bills.
It seems this list is long enough but I know there are more things I once USED TO DO. But, I forget.
Do you have your very own USED TO DO list? I just started mine. lol

I used to have a landline phone in my house, but now I don't.
I used to have to get up and walk over to the tv to change the channels, now I use a remote.
I used to have an antenna on my tv that allowed me to get three stations. Now I have cable that allows me to have over 350 channels.
I used to get out of my car and knock on the door when I would go to a friend's house to pick them up; now I just text them that I am waiting outside in the car.
I used to leave work behind when I walked out of the office at 5:00pm. Now, I am connected to the office 24 hours per day thanks to my smartphone.

Well, like you , I used to ride a bike until 2 years ago when I fell off one in a parking lot and skinned up my left knee and elbow and hurt my rib. I swore, never to ride one again. My husband was glad the accident wasn't worse. Luckily I had on a bike helmet.

I used to have my husband paged in a store, now I call or text his cell phone.
I used to hang laundry on a line to dry. Thank God for electric dryers!
