So many memories of going to the video store, then going to the one across town because the first was out of the movie you wanted.

I remember the small space dedicated to beta tapes, and said space shrinking as people embraced VHS.

I don't remember creating distance between me and the family.

I feel the same way. Most of family loved everything about our VCR. It made my grandmothers standoffishness stand out even more.

It must have made for awkward weekends when she came overЁЯШЕ

I'm guess they were right to a point. I remember some days when I wanted to stay inside watching movies, but those were very few.

I wonder what she would make of our current situation, where millennials are now being coached on how to answer the phone ЁЯд│ЁЯП╛

I think it would be beyond the scope of her ability to understand.
